Is it possible to even get xbox live to work

Is it possible to even get xbox live to work on a mac airport extreme 802.11n router, i tried everything i could think of (just so you know i have a d-link wireless router for my xbox) ? If anybody has actually performed this feat please tell me!

My XBOX 360 works perfectly and very fast wirless on Apple Extreme. I do not have security enabled and limit users (basically only my XBOX) by MAC adreess, which is easy in the setup utility. My old Linksys was very jittery when playing NHL hockey online, but now with extreme it is perfect and smooth. Hard core security folks will say you can sniff my network with a MAC address spoof utility, but I know my neighbours could care less about sniffing my XBox traffic....

Cannot get Xbox Live to report NAT Open whatever i try.

Hi,
Ive read everything i can find on the internet about the latest Airport Extreme Base Station and Xbox Live and I cannot for the life of me manage to get the Xbox 360 to report "NAT - OPEN" during tests. Worst still it always comes back as NAT Strict.
I used to have an old Airport Extreme (the dome one) at my old place and the NAT was always Open on that and i dont even remember opening ports.
Ive checked all the threads and suggestions on this forum and nothing is working.
So far, i given my 360 a fixed IP both on the 360 itself, and then on the Airport Extreme by using the 360's wired MAC address. Ive checked that the IP is outside of the DCHP range which it is, and ive power cycled both devices many times and the 360 will always connect to the static IP ive set it up on - so that works.
Ive port forwarded all the ports Xbox Live needs (88 and 3074) and set them to its static IP - this didn't work.
Ive set the static IP of the Xbox 360 as DMZ (default host) and this didn't work either.
Ive power cycled my modem, my airport extreme and the 360 - this didn't work.
Ive unplugged everything from my Airport Extreme apart from the 360 - this didn't work.
I cannot see what else it could be, everytime I do the tests it reports back as strict.
My BeBox modem is definatly in bridge mode as all other port forwarding is working correctly for all software and hardware devices.
I personally cannot think of anything else as there really are not that many options to play with - and all ports are set to open for the 360 it should not be reporting as strict...
Can anyone help?

I might add - this is definately an Airport Extreme issue as i just plugged the 360 directly into the modem via Ethernet to get a direct connection and test and NAT was reported as OPEN.

WRT54GS - No Internet when plugged in, but I get Xbox LIVE...

I have Verizon DSL for Internet, and when I switch the Ethernet cable over to the Router, I have no Internet on my computer, but I have Xbox LIVE...?
I'm lost; how do I fix this?

First check the IP when directly connected to the DSL modem in case if its 192.168.1.1 then connect only the computer to the router without the modem connected then change the lan ip of the router to 192.168.2.1 and the power cycle the network i.e. turn off power to modem and router, connect the modem - router - computer, power up the modem wait for the light, followed by the router. This should work. Also make sure that you computer is not set to static IP address.
Start-control panel - network connection - right click local area connection and select properties - tcp/ip properties - It should be set to obtain IP automatically.

Xbox live not working in WPA/WPA2 personal mode.

Xbox Live is not working in WPA/WPA2 personal mode. It does, however, work in WEP mode. I have 2 windows laptops on my wireless network. when I am on WEP, the laptop is stuck in a perpetual "Acquiring Network Address" state. When I have WPA/WPA2 enabled, my laptops work fine, but xbox live cuts in and out of detecting my network, and I cant even get close to connecting at all.
So until I figure this out, I have to choose between WEP (xbox live working, and not PCs) WPA(PCs working, not xbox live) or unsecured (risky). what should I do?

Thats strange topcat, i have exactly the same problem as you except that when i am in WEP encryption my xbox cant even see the extreme on the network and i cant even get it it to connect at all. In WPA mode the xbox sees the network but will not connect. I have rang xbox and they say that it should work and that the problem lies with Apple, although i dont believe this personally. In the meantime ive had to hardwire the xbox to the router which isnt why i bought the router. Disappointed

Internet soooo slow kids cannot even play xbox liv...

i live 2 miles away from an exchange yet my internet connection is about 0.5 mb, its soooooo slow, my mother lives in lanzarote and laughs at how **bleep** my connection is. i have 3 kids to want to watch youtube and skyanytime + .
the worst thing is that my hubby is an employee and i would get free btvision, but my line it TOO SLOW for it lol
in this day and age there is no escuse for it seriously!!

Hi please post your full hubstats by entering 192.168.1.254into your browser address bar and then navigate to advanced / connection /broadband and post the full results and also run the Bt speedtest
Speedtester.bt.com and run the full test there and post the results
Then some one will be able to advise you further
Your speed is related to your line length ( attunuation) and quality even though you may be 2 miles from your exchange your line could be up to twice that depending on how it is routed to the exchange nothing to do with this day and age I am afraid but more the lawsof physics

Can't even get audio chat to work: iChat 2.1 to AIM 5.9

Hi everyone! I have a problem that I am hoping someone can kindly help me out with.
I am an iChat 2.1 AV user without a webcam trying to connect to an AIM 5.9 user with a webcam. However, I am unable to establish an audio chat (much less try to get a one-way video chat working). On my iChat screen, I do not see a telephone icon next to the person's name. My friend says that audio is not one of my capabilities. I find this strange since I have a Powerbook G4 which all have a built-in mic. In addition, if I click 'connection doctor'' I see the bars move in response to my voice, so I know that the mic is working. Also, "microphone enabled" is checkmarked on iChat's audio drop-down menu.
I have opened ports 5060, 5353, 5678, 16384-16403 for UDP and 5190, 5297, 5298 for both UPD and TCP on my router, and my mac's internal firewall is off.
The PC user has opened ports 16384-16403 for UDP and 1024-5000 for both TCP and UDP as recommended on AIM's website.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why I am displayed as not being able to initiate an audio chat? I would like to get the video working one-way as well, but I figure that I should just be satisfied with getting the audio working for now and move on to the next challenge later.
Thank you very much for your help!

Hi JC_14,
This is supposed to be possible as a One-Way Video chat from the PC end.
However it is the most difficult to be successful with.
The ports 1024-5000 forthe PC are correct.
Your ports are going to be effective (port 5297 only need UDP).
The PC user should be able to tell you in a tecxt chat if their Video chat icon is Active.
IF it is they should try it.
If it is not they should look through the menu item in the Buddy list of AIM.
There is a menu way of initiating Video chat and this is somemtimes more effective.
Audio Only chats are not possible AIM to iChat. You have to go straight for One-Way Video.

Can only get XBOX 360 to work by unplugging and then plugging in ethernet cable?

I have 2 desktop computers, 1 laptop computer and 1 Xbox 360 using this WRT54GS ver 6 router. The desktops and the xbox are wired and the laptop is wireless. I replaced my old linksys router which I never had a problem with for this one. If my desktop computer is turned off and I turn on my XBOX, the router does not recognize the Xbox. I mean the XBOX is plugged into port 3 and that light does not flash on the router. Now, if I turn on my computer and then turn on my xbox, it still doesn't work. If I turn on my computer, turn on my XBOX and then unplug the xbox ethernet cable from the back of the router and then plug it back in, then the router recognizes it and it works great. I have had 2 chat sessions and I phone session with linksys and they cannot figure it out. They had me go into my xbox and set a static IP address, gateway and DNS. Then she had me go into forward a few ports on the router. I never had to do any of this stuff with the old router by the way. The last guy I talked to on the phone said I need to figure out a way to turn off "MAC Address cloning" in the xbox. I checked and there is no way to do this, so I think he is wrong about this. Does anyone have ANY ideas as to why this problem is happening?

I had the same problem and I just typed my settings in manually on my xbox 360's network settings.(IP, and DNS).

I have a question about MP3 recorders but cannot even get contact us to work

My question is are the recorders in the Zen MP3 players mono and are they a .025 kHz?
However, I am disturbed that none of the links to "contact us" work is this a typical problem with
Creative? If not, how do I reach someone preferably by phone, but even by e-mail when I have a question about a product and even worse if I buy one about a problem thanks

As far as I know the "contact us" links are some sort of guided tour to some documents that might help, and otherwise an e-mail form. I don't know if you can phone them, but you can e-mail them and for general questions there is this forum.
The X-Fi 2 saves recordings as IMA ADPCM 6000Hz mono 64kb
ps.
I'm not sure about other Zens, although I believe they all are mono, I think my Vision recorded in regular wave (uncompressed PCM) but since I don't have that one anymore I can't check.

Xbox live to macbook pro

I was wondering if there was any way i could connect my xbox to my macbook pro which is connected wirelessly to the internet trhoughg a router, and get xbox live to work. It says my IP ADRESS is failing.

Hi Richie!
Does your current router not have a built-in hub that you could plug your XBox into? You're essentially trying to connect your XBox to the Internet with two routers (your MacBook and your regular router) in between and this can certainly cause problems. But it's probably not impossible.
The only way to do this is to enable Internet Sharing in Apple menu --> System Preferences... --> Sharing --> Internet. Since your MacBook Pro only has one wireless and one Ethernet port each you'll have to share from one to the other. However, if you're using the Ethernet port for your Internet connection you'll have to use wireless on your XBox. Does it have wireless? A simple Ethernet hub will not work in this configuration.
The easiest and cleanest solution is to purchase a router with a built-in hub or a wireless router with a hub. They're relatively inexpensive (less than $50.00).
Hope this helps! bill

Connecting to Xbox live

How do I get Xbox live to work with my Apple computers and Base Station 72a539?

Neither the XBox or the Mac have software to connect the two.

Home Hub 3 (type A) compatibility with Xbox Live a...

Just got a new Bt Broadband activated a couple of days ago.
All set up nice, getitng a 8mb download speed which is good for our area.
2 laptops, 1 PC, and a wireless printer all set up using wifi. All good.
Even managed to get Xbox Live connected via wifi.
BUT - when updating any software or games on the XBOX, what used to take seconds is now taking hours!
I even tried my old Dlink router on the new BT Broadband, and it all works fine, but as soon as my Home Hub 3 (type A) is connected, the software updates to the xbox take an age.
All other connections seem fine.
Is it true that Home Hub 3 type 'B' is the best one for using with Xbox Live?
If anyone's had this exact same issue, and managed to solve it - please tell me how.
Thanks
Impster
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Seems to be the same.
The only thing worse (so far) is the BT customer services team. I spent over 3 hours on the phone with various people from BT yesterday. Only when I threatened to cancel the contract did anyone take me seriously.
I really wish I'd stayed with my previous broadband provider.
What I'd like to know is how to resolve this issue - preferably from someone who's had similar experience to mine. I'm not going to go through a troubleshooting process yet again. My HomeHub 3A is simply not compatible with connecting wirelessly with any significant speed to my xbox, nor to my android mobile phone.
I have run every possible check on our line and home network.
The only variable that causes this problem to re-emerge is the Home Hub 3 (type A) which I was sent 2 days ago.

Connecting Verizon UBS Modem 720 to Xbox Live

How do you got Xbox Live on the 360 using the Verizon UBS Modem 720?
I have a Desktop computer (Dell Inspiron 531)
I dont have a wireless router or the network adapter that Xbox sells but i do have a ethernet cable
Can Someone PLEASE give me a step by step process on how to get Xbox Live. I am really tired of going in circles with trying to get the internet connection on my Xbox 360.

dial up your connection on your pc or laptop.
go into network connections, and right click on the verizon dial up modem, and go to properties. go to advanced i think ( i am at work and not on my home pc) on one of the top tabs, then look in the middle of the screen. you should see a Share internet connection box. check it, then select you lan card or nic card from the drop down box that you want to share your internet with.
this will configure you nic card as a dhcp server.
plug your ethernet cable from xbox to pc or laptop. re dial your modem connection to internet. then turn on your xbox after internet is up.
go to settings and make sure your xbox has an ip address of 192.168.0. xx where xx can be any number.
if it is like that, you shoud be good to go.
You have to either drop any firewalls or virus firewalls or add the ports in the firewalls to make sure they do not prevent live from working.
if you get a 192.168.0.xx and you can not get on. it is a firewall issue.

RTMP Live Streaming Works, HTTP HLS/HDS Streaming Doesnt

I am running Flash Media Server on my Windows 2008 R2 server, and am trying to get HTTP live streaming working. I am using Flash Media Live Encoder to stream to the server. I can get a basic RTMP stream to work without issue, however anytime I setup to stream to a basic HTTP live stream, I get the generic "We are having problems with playback. We apologize for the inconvenience." in the basic Flash Media Playback player. I can confirm the stream is being published to the server in the Admin Console using the livepkgr application successfully, and I can even get an RTMP stream to work when it is streaming to the livepkgr application.
Here are the FMLE settings I am using to publish the stream:
Stream URL: rtmp://184.69.238.58/livepkgr
(yes, thats my IP, the stream is live continuously, test for yourself!)
Stream Name: livestream?adbe-live-event=liveevent
my embeded html for viewing the stream is as follows:
<object width="640" height="480"> <param name="movie" value="http://fpdownload.adobe.com/strobe/FlashMediaPlayback_101.swf"> </param> <param name="flashvars" value="src=http://<myipgoeshere>/livepkgr/liveevent/livestream.f4m"></param> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param> <embed src="http://fpdownload.adobe.com/strobe/FlashMediaPlayback_101.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="700" height="500" flashvars="src=http://<myipgoeshere>/livepkgr/liveevent/livestream.f4m">
While this gives me the error, the RTMP version (publishing to the livepkgr) works fine like this:
<object width="640" height="480"> <param name="movie" value="http://fpdownload.adobe.com/strobe/FlashMediaPlayback_101.swf"> </param> <param name="flashvars" value="src=rtmp://<myipgoeshere>/livepkgr/livestream"> </param> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param> <embed src="http://fpdownload.adobe.com/strobe/FlashMediaPlayback_101.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="700" height="500" flashvars="src=rtmp://<myipgoeshere>/livepkgr/livestream"> </embed> </object>
Can anyone explain to me what is happening here? I need HTTP streaming so I can eventually handle multi-bit rate streaming. Is there any further configuration beyond the standard "out of the box" FMS installation I need to consider on my server? There are no firewall issues at play here as all ports for standard streaming are open.

I had about 2 hours of downtime last night to move my server. Try again? It will be live all day.
