Internet Sharing with my Xbox 360

Hey guys, I was just wondering how to get an open NAT with my PowerBook and xbox 360 setup. Right now my NAT is "strict". I've searched on the board and no one has a solution. I have a D-Link DI-524 wireless router and when I connect the xbox directly to it the NAT is open, but when connected to my PowerBook it's moderate. I am too cheap to buy the xbox wireless network adaptor and this setup is very convenient for me because my xbox and PB are upstairs and the networking stuff is downstairs and I don't want to run a long cat-5 up here. Please, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Powerbook G4 15 1Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Can't really help you with your network but I'll describe mine maybe that can give ideas.
x-box360 with wireless device set up to connect to Apple Express router. The Express is hard wired to an Apple Extreme N router. The Express is set up wireless to create its own network with WEP security not WPA2.
I tried WDS and also " to join" and having the Express wirelessly connect to the N router but I could not get those methods to work with the x-box360.

How can I use Internet Sharing with Firewall on ?

Hi,
My PowerMac G5 is connected to the internet via Ethernet. I share the connection to a Powerboog via Airport using internet sharing. Everything is working fine except when I turn the Firewall on. After reading http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107653 I tried opening port 443 but it still does'nt work. I'd like to be able to use internet sharing with the firewall on. Anyone can help me ? Thanks!

Hmmm, how curious... I never had to do that in 10.4.7 or 10.4.8... the only ones I ever tried Internet Sharing with.
I'm wondering if turning the Firewall on after the Internet sharing is what's doing it? Just for kicks you might try turning off Internet Sharing, then Firewall on, then turn on Internet Sharing.
If that doesn't work, then I'd personally try trashing...
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist
Then reboot and try the Firewall again.

Can i use my Creative Zen Touch with my Xbox 360

Hello, wondering if you can help me out with the question above, and if you know how to make it work. If you could help me i'd be grateful.

You can use the Zen Touch with the Xbox 360, but you would have to update the firmware on the player to an MTP (2.x) firmware. This will slightly change the way the player works on the PC. For more information on MTP, check this knowledgebase article.

Using the Airport with an Xbox 360 and such

Hey guys I'm thinking of buying a new Airport Extreme N for my home since my linksys router is being stubborn. I have an xbox 360 and i was wondering if it worked well with it. What i mean is it faster with the Extreme and is it very reliable. Thanks guys for helping me out and have a Merry Christmas. --- Vinny the Pooh

I just got the Airport for Christmas and it only took a couple of minutes to set up with my xbox 360 and all of my computers connected right away. The signal is twice as good as the signal with my linksys router was. Much better for xbox live. Good luck

Airport Extreme With Current XBOX 360

Will the current XBOX 360 (sold for $299.99) with the XBOX 360 Wireless Network Adapter be able to connect to the Apple Airport Extreme?
Thanks a lot, I could really use the help

This is a direct quote to what it says:

Mac OS 10.3.9 wont share my internet connection with my XBOX

First Of all I have been able to connect with 10.2.8, internet connection to the mac is working.
My connection is like this. 2Wire modem connection through phone line, phone line to USB adapter, mac with internet sharing to XBOX through Ethernet. Direct Connection to Modem is not an option. Can anyone tell me why this wont connect with 10.3 when it did with 10.2.

Using a dongle and connecting with an Xbox 360...

Hi guys,
Quick question, i've moved into my new uni place but it hasn't got any internet. So im looking at getting a dongle but I still want to hook up my xbox to xbox live. Is there a way of feeding the internet through my imac (which is using the dongle) to the xbox. If its any help i do have the extra wireless box for the xbox and also an either-net cable.
Thanks!

You X-Box can connect to the internet thru the Mac using either wifi or ethernet, whichever works best for you.
If you want Ethernet, connect a cable between them
If you want wifi, you need to first create a network.
System prefs -> Network.
Select Airport then click on Network name: and select *Create network...*.
Give it a name, tick require password.
Now go System prefs -> Sharing.
Click on *Internet Sharing*.
Set *Share your connection from:* and select the dongle (likely showing up as USB).
If you connect them using Ethernet, set *To computers using:* and select Ethernet.
If you connect them using wifi, set *To computers using:* and select Wifi.
You will need to enable wifi on the X-Box and connect with the password you set above.

Sorry it took me so long to reply. I have tried restoring the network settings and i have restarted router. I am just so disappointed because my ipod is the only one out of all my friends and family that does this(I know about 15 people with ipod touches and one with iphone). My router works fine with my ps3, xbox 360, and laptop. By the way, its not just my router. It does it with any of them. I have had friends that say their ipod has problems with album artwork too. And, if it makes a difference, it started doing this after i got an update via itunes. Also, the restores made it take longer to reconnect to the router so i really think its just my ipod. I guess im just gonna have to deal with it. Maybe version 3.0 will fix it just as 2.1 or so destroyed it.
One thing i just dont understand is why geek squad did what did to my ipod. I told them that it wouldnt stay connected to my router and the guy tested my battery and hard drive. What does this have to do with that? He also told me to restore it. I mean, no offense to geek squad, but my brother could go in there and teach these guys how to do this. He didnt go to college for this stuff either but he built all of our computers and anytime we have a problem, he knows exactly what to do. He also owns his own computer business and helps people fix their computers. The only problem is that he hates apple so he knows nothing about it. Apple is getting so annoying, coming out with newer versions of things every few months and making so much crap that no one needs. I just cant wait until microsoft steps it up and makes a touch screen, internet and email compatible, zune. Sorry, this is just so annoying and disappointing.

Need major help, I have a WRT54G Wireless-G Router and theres too much Lag with My Xbox 360...

I cant host a game on Gears of War no more on my xbox 360 cuz it also drops and when i play on someone else's game, i get dropped from the middle of a game.
I have Comcast Hi-Speed Internet and that shouldnt be a problem,
I have my PC and my Xbox 360 hooked up and thats it,
On my computer i have McAfee Security, but i dont kno if that would slow it down??
Well when i unplug my router, and do a direct connection to my xbox 360, it is pretty **bleep** good connection. So what is there I can do to fix this slow connection with the router being hooked up?? i have my router in the same room too as my pc and 360.

yes the ethernet cord is hooked from the xbox 360 to the router

Iogear GBU211 and internet sharing with missing sync

I have an iogear GBU211 bluetooth to usb adapter and it has been behaving strangely. I use the connection between my TT3 and the computer keeps dropping and it cannot complete a full sync over bluetooth. I would also like to take advantage of internet sharing over the palm. I decided to give missing sync a try. I was finally able to perform a hotsync (as long as I didn't try to install anything to the palm), but the real problem hits when I try to use internet sharing. I get a kernel panic everytime. Here is the snippet from the panic.log file.

I would (i think) rather use the iogear as it has a better range and I don't want to go and buy the d-link. I dislike that apple is trying to force me to use the d-link adapter. Does anyone know of a fix for the iogear problem?

I do understand what you're saying Michael, it isn't exactly profitable to offer broad range support, but at the same time, a little broader would be a nice thing. In the case of the IOGear module, it's packaging did have the os X logo on it (if memory serves me correctly) and it did state it will work in Mac os as well. With that in mind, one would think that either or both IOGear and Apple would know about this and make sure that it does work, or, barring that, Apple should have IOGear pull their compatibility statement off of their packaging. As a consumer, if a product I purchase states that it will work with my machine, I would expect it to do so with minimal headaches.
In any case, as for my main problem (no wise cracks please), I caved and picked up the D-Link. I had a friend with a pee cee who needed a bluetooth adapter, so, for a "fair" price, I was able to go grab the D-Link.
With the exception of it's shorter range than the IOGear BT adapter, it has worked flawlessly (so far).

Can I use my mid 2011 iMac with an Xbox 360?

Hello all, I have been unable to find a definative answer to this question so thought it best to ask here. Question being can I connect an Xbox 360 to my mid 2011 21.5 iMac and use it as a monitor for gaming? If this is possible, could you tell me how seeing as the iMac doesn't have a hdmi input?
Help greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

For the 2009 and 2010 27" iMacs there is the Kanex XD http://www.kanexlive.com/xd but it is not compatible with ThunderBolt iMacs as Kanex states in their Product FAQs.
2011 ThunderBolt iMac only accept other ThunderBolt Macs as source.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Thunderbolt/10.6/en/30822.html
The Intensity Extreme http://www.blackmagic-design.com/uk/products/intensity/ might be what you need once it is released.

Has anyone else had difficulty using WPA2 Internet sharing with their Apple TV? Any solutions?

Hi.
I've seen references to this on here, but no solutions.
I use my 27" 2010 iMac to share Internet in my home, latest versions of OSX and iOS.. Works fine, sharing with iPhones, an iPad and my Apple TV 2.
Recently though, I changed to WPA2, and the Apple TV can't see Home Sharing is on. If I switch security (ie WPA2) off, then it can see it again.
So has anyone found a way to use WPA2 successfully with their Apple TV?
Thanks in advance.

I’d suggest uninstalling:
Blackberry software
the cycling74 driver
Any HP “utilities” (regarding the HP IO. Apple told developers to stop using Startup Items back in 10.3.)
any Adobe software you have (the “not loaded” ones are not loading because they’re incompatible.
the com.apple.CSConfig one.
facebook
google keystone agent
Unfortunately you have a lot of very questionable old, incompatible, and probably bad software on your Mac that is not playing well with Mavericks. Some of these can be difficult to uninstall, particularly if you are not familiar with poking around in Mac system folders.
You might consider cutting to the chase and doing a clean install:
backup your documents and passwords, network settings, etc.
Completely erase your hard drive
Reinstall mavericks and your apps from scratch (not from backups)
and finally replacing your documents.
It can be a good thing. Spring cleaning. If you want to go this route, let me know, I can give you some more detailed suggestions for how to do it. The advantage is you can get Mavericks running really fast and reliably, and then be more selective about what you reinstall. A lot of the stuff you have on there is probably from apps you don't even use anymore (like for your Blackberry), or that really aren't necessary.

Internet Sharing with OS X 10.4.3

Having an eMac (OS X 10.4.3) owns WiFi internet connection.
PC (Windows XP Professional) connects to eMac via Ethernet switch. PC can ping eMac, but not able to browse internet.
iBook (10.4.3) connects to eMac via Ethernet switch. iBook can ping eMac, but not able to browse internet. Ran Network Diagnostics on iBook. "Built-In Ethernet", "Network Settings" and "ISP" buttons are green. "Internet" button is red.
Each of the three computers can connect to the internet individually via dial-up modem. eMac and iBook can connect to the internet via AirPort individually with no problems.
On eMac, internet sharing started with share internet connection from AirPort to computers using Build-in Ethernet. I also ensured the workgroup name is the same on PC and Mac SMB/CIFS.
What else should I do to be able to browse internet on PC and iBook vis internet sharing on the eMac?
eMac Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Well, Duan, I managed to get the PC to work as well. (Don't ask me what I did.
Now, I am trying to the PC to share the internet connection owned by the iBook, but I just can't. I checked to make sure the iBook has the same settings at the eMac and PC settings remain the same when the treo worked together.
Any hints?
BTW, when the treo worked together, I couldn't get to some of my mail servers. I'd assume it's a DNS issue. What can I do.
NOW, the reason that I can't use a "cheap router" is I do not have an Ethernet cable access to the AirPort base station. It's two doors down.

WRT610N with 4 xbox 360s accessing Xbox live...Assistance Please

I have a DCHP connection to the ISP Comcast. 25mbsp download speed (fat pipe) I live with four roommates and we all have xbox 360s 2 wired and 2wireless and 3 wireless PCs and 1 wired pcs .The PCs I am ok with setting up.
I was about to tackle this when I started going through the settings for this router (feature rich comes to mind).
I have some questions with some of these features so I can get all four xbox360s connected to xbox live with out getting kicked out or game lag. We have experienced this with our old Belkin.
Single port forwarding, port range forwarding, port range triggering and of course the DMZ are all available for this router and I am requesting some guidance as to set this up.
Should I set up Static IPs for all the xboxes and forward the ports TCP 80; UDP 88; UDP 3074; TCP 3074; UDP 53; TCP 5 to each static IP? Can this router handle opening ports for multiple static IP's? Can I combine single port forwarding with port range forwarding? Should I combine both with setting up Port Range Triggering?
I read through the manual but still am a little perplexed...
Noob needs some guidance
thank you

Thank you for replying and for the solution. I will try it tonite and actually in the link you sent the tech stated:
"These settings will work even if you have one or multiple consoles running behind the router"
So I will be trying this for all four xbox 360 and I will let you know how it goes.
cheers

Using the WRT54G and a WUSB54GC with an Xbox 360.

Hi,
I have a WRT54G router and I just bought a WUSB54GC compact Wireless-G USB adapter because I thought I could connect it to my Xbox 360 to play games online. Is this possible? I've tried a few times, but I can't get it to work. I'm not too tech savvy but I'm guessing that it isn't supposed to work like that. Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi
As far as my knowledge, if you want to use WUSB54GC you need to install its drivers, and that is not possible on X-box 360, in that case you can check if your X-box 360 is Wi-Fi enabled, if not you can use a special product i.e. WGA54G, Wireless-G Gamming Adapter, It's completely driver-free, so it works on any platform. Since there's no drivers to load, setup is a snap. It provides lag-free gaming with communication speeds up to 54Mbps when connected to other Wireless-G devices. It can also connect to Wireless-B (802.11b) devices and networks at 11Mbps.
