Networking with a Xbox 360 help

At my college you can't directly connect to the internet without downloading their software and verify the computer. Because of this I can't just plug my 360 into the wall and go on XBL. Seeing as the Mac Pro has two ethernet ports, I tried sharing the internet and no matter what I did, the 360 could never connect. After using Bootcamp and loading up XP, it configured a network for me and I got the 360 to work. The problem is I don't like switching back and forth between Mac and XP so I was hoping someone could show me how to configure my network seeing as it is possible. Any help would be great.

I know this is way late and you probably don't need an answer anymore but what the heck. Internet sharing never really worked for me in Tiger but it is working now in Leopard. And also I've discovered that getting your NAT settings on and in order will help allot. It's a bit complicated to configure NAT settings and you wont find anything about out it in system preferences but you might depending on weather your using a router, ethernet DSL Modem. Not all DSL modems have NAT configurations and if you don't that's probably a good thing and you don't have to worry about ti then. But if you do, call your ISP and ask how to configure NAT settings (network address translation) They should help. Ok well I hope this helps somebody if not you.

Networking with an Xbox 360: Getting the Xbox hard drive on desktop?

Last Xmas my family became the owner of an Xbox 360. The Xbox is successfully hooked into my Airport network for online gaming.
Saved games are stored on the Xbox's hard drive. I'm wondering if anyone has ideas about how I can "backup" the content on the Xbox's hard drive to my Mac's hard drive. I think that would entail "mounting" the Xbox's hard drive in my OS X environment over the Airport network.
I know networking with Windows computers is possible, but the Xbox?
Thanks for any ideas.

Thanks for the reply.
I've tried Connect to Server and entered smb:// and the IP of the XBox, but received an error: The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "smb://10.0.1.3" could not be read or written. (Error cose -36)."
So far, no dice. Any other ideas?

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Intensity Extreme http://www.blackmagic-design.com/uk/products/intensity/ might be what you need once it is released.

Airport Express in 802.11n mode with an Xbox 360

I have an Airport Express (with software 7.5.2) and am having problems connecting my Xbox 360 in 802.11n mode. I have an Xbox 360 (one year old, not the new 360 S Console) and an Xbox Wireless N Networking Adapter (Model 1398).
I believe my Airport Express is working fine as I've been able to connect my MacBook and iPad 2 when I've run the Airport Express in any combination of modes -- 802.11g 2.4 or 5.0 GHz, 802.11b compatibility, etc.
I've also found that the Xbox will connect when I run the Airport Express in 802.11g mode, but it fails to connect in any n mode. I've tried several combinations including varying the security -- WPA2 or no security at all. Since the same Xbox and Apple hardware can connect when running in 802.11g mode, and I've got Apple devices talking to the AE in 802.11n mode, I'm suspecting the Xbox hardware.
I've looked through a few forum posts here, and most of them seemed to be older and referenced a bug in an older version of the AE software. At least one mentioned that the person had a defective Xbox wireless adapter, which I'm beginning to suspect.
I've even turned on syslog logging on the Airport Express and used my MacBook as the syslog server. Even though I've turned the Syslog level up to 7 (Debug) on the AE, I don't get any messages about Xbox connection attempts -- just successful connections from my iPad and MacBook.
Any advice is appreciated!
Thanks,
Dan

Hi. Thanks for the reply. It turns out that the router was not going into n mode because of the security I set on it. I finally figured this out and the AE did connect in n mode after all.
Well at least it's working now but I feel a little bad for posting when it was my fault!!
Cheers!

WRT300N and xbox 360 help

Hi.
I just picked up the WRT300N - upgraded to the latest firmware:
Firmware Version: v0.93.9
I am using WEP security for my wireless. I can connect fine with various computers/laptops, getting good IP addresses, etc.
From my xbox 360 - fails to get an IP address.
Before the wrt300n I had a Apple Airport saucer thingy, and I had to disable security to get the xbox to get a valid IP. I do not want to disable security on the linksys - this should work.
Can anyone help out with this? Not sure what else to try here.

Hi. . .
As You Are Not Getting An Ip Address On The Xbox.You Can Try Giving In A Static Ip Address To Your Xbox(manual).You can try
Ip 192.168.1.x(10--99),
Dg 192.168.1.1--Please Check The Ip Address Of The Rtr. . .
On The Status Page Of The Router You Will Be Getting DNS1 And DNS2. . .
Try Inputting Those Also On The XBOX Page. . .
Let Me Know If Any Progress. . .
