  • Starz Play and Xbox 360

    I am not new to this and I DO know what I'm doing. I have the network set up the way it always has been. Its ethernet, and its going through the switch and Fios router. I recently downloaded Starz Play and it works great on my Desktop, Laptop, but NOT on my 360. I have been streaming Vista MCE to it for months, and it all works GREAT with no network interference of any sort. The application doesnt show my 360 as an available device for it to extend to, so I am stumped. I searched the interwebs already, so any advice is more than appreciated. Thanks!

  • Updated to 7.3.1, PC and Xbox 360 can't connect

    Hey, anyone else having problems getting PCs and Xbox 360s to connect to the AirPort Extreme after the 7.3.1 update? Wired or wireless, my PC (Vista, with and without SP1) and my Xbox 360 (with the official wireless network adapter) won't connect.

    I am in the same boat...
    7.2 worked great... 7.3.1 does not even show in the network list. Also, downgrading it does not fix the issue?!?!?

  • Step by step complete setup for WRT54G ver.6 with Laptop and XBOX 360

    Hello.  I am sorry to post this, I am sure it is a juevenile and redundent question...but I have tried to look for the set up cd (I can find where to download it...though I can find the firmware upgrade or whatever).  My friend at work said it would do all the setup pretty much automatically for me.  
    I somewhat know computers, but you might go ahead and make your replies VERY lamen's terms or I might not be able to follow.  Anyways, what I need, is a step by step/screen by screen directions for a secure network.  I have made a partial attempt at setting it up and it technically works, but I would feel better if I did the steps a-z in order, so I know that it is done correctly.  I also am not totally confident in its security as it is now.  (Also, technically, I did not check the XBOX again after getting the new laptop, I am just assuming it is still working because it was before).
    My problem is I can't seem to find very good directions for setting up the router...I only find partials or confusing directions.
    So here are the things I am trying to connect:
    Liksys WRT54G ver. 6
    Gateway Laptop running Windows Vista
    XBOX 360 - WIRED
    (I had a PC and a laptop, but they both died at the same time and I have only been able to replace the laptop at this point...the PC will come later and not sure at this point if it will be Wired or not).
    I have a cable Modem between the Router and the wall...I didn't look at that for brand/etc...but I can get it ASAP if needed.
    Here are the settings that I have so far:
    Changed the Router Name
    Changed the SSID
    Have DHCP set to 3  (XBOX, PC, Laptop)
    Wireless SSID Broadcast: Disable
    Username and Password changed to my own info
    UPnP: Enable
    I may have changed other things without knowing it.  So like I said, a complete, step by step screen by screen set up would be totally appreciated.  I haven't done anything in the security tab, all that is totally foreign to me, so I am just not broadcasting for now until I can get some help setting things up with you guys.
    And if someone is familiar with the Laptop/XBOX 360 setup, and I need to change any of the settings on the XBOX itself, could you please include that in your directions?  I know that isn't technically what THIS forum is for, but it would sure be helpful to me if you happen to know both parts anyways.
    Thanks a lot (in advance)!

    So all you just need to do is, secure your Wireless Network. Follow the setps bellow and change the settings on your Router.
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
    For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
    Click on the Wireless tab
    - Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
    - Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
    - Set the Wireless channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
    Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
    For Wireless Security : -
    Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
    Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select TKIP...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone and remember the key.
    NOTE : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
    Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...
    Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
    Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
    Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect... 

  • 20" plastic cinema and xbox 360?

    hi all,
    i'm currently running two 20" ADC monitors on my g4. i have an alchemyTV card to capture video and also play xbox/ps2/cube thru svideo.
    on tuesday i add an xbox 360 into the mix. the reviews that i have been reading all say you need an hd set to really appreciate this new machine. in about six months i'll be adding a plasma but in the mean time, is there anyway to get the 360's VGA, component or D-Terminal HD cable to run on a 20" ADC display?
    here's some links to the cables at lik-sang
    D-Terminal HD (cleanest signal, preferred)
    http://www.lik-sang.com/info.php?category=319&products_id=8043&
    VGA (easiest? would dr.bott's vga extractor work?)
    http://www.lik-sang.com/info.php?category=319&products_id=7774&
    component
    http://www.lik-sang.com/info.php?category=319&products_id=7772&
    any input is greatly appreciated.

    I was wondering about that too? I have a clear 17' ADC with a Apple G5 Dp 1.8(8 slots). I know it'll look good on our monitors but how can we do it w/
    vga's. I also hear X-box will sell a s-video cord soon.

  • Air port express and Xbox 360

    I use the Airport Express as my wireless router. When I first bought it I just used it for Air Tunes to my outside speakers, no problem. Then I was able to get cable internet and used it to connect to my iMac, no problem. Then my wife bought a laptop, connected to the ApE, no problem. Bought a Vizio Bluray, connected to the ApE, no problem. THEN I got an Xbox 360, the newest one out with the built in wifi, big problem. Nothing I can do will connect it to the ApE. I have tried manually setting the IP, subnetmask, SSID with password and nothing. Any thoughts on this??? Yes, I'm trying to play email wars with Microsoft support, but no help yet.

    One option would be to enable Internet Sharing on the iMac to share the Internet connection to the XBox's Ethernet port.
    To setup for Internet Sharing (Wireless to Wired):
    Enable Software Firewall
    System Preferences > Sharing > Firewall
    o Click Stop to start the software firewall
    Setup the Network
    Cable Modem > (Ethernet cable) > /[Ethernet port] Wireless Internet Router > (wireless) > /[AirPort Card] iMac /[Ethernet port] > (Ethernet cable) > /[Ethernet port] XBox 360
    Setup Port Order
    System Preferences > Network > Show > Network Port Configurations
    o Verify that "AirPort" and "Built-In Ethernet" are enabled.
    o Verify that "AirPort" is at the top of the list, followed by "Built-In Ethernet."
    o Click "Apply Now."
    Configure the Internet Connection
    System Preferences > Network > Show > AirPort > TCP/IP
    o Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
    o Configure IPv6: Automatically or Off
    Enable Internet Sharing
    System Preferences > Sharing > Internet
    o Share your connection from: AirPort
    o To computers using: Built-In Ethernet (checked) (Note: Uncheck all other entries in the list.)
    o Click Start

  • WRT54G version 5 and Xbox 360 Wireless Controller

    Hello,
    I just upgraded to the latest firmware since my Xbox 360 Wireless adapter can't connect to my router. I still have the same problem and can't figure it out. I read some of the other posts, and opened up the correct ports in my router 88 & 3074. I even disabled wireless security and I still can't connect.
    My wireless adapter is a solid red. I can connect just fine with a wired network cable. Does anyone have any suggestions for me to try?
    It's a brand new Xbox too and there shouldn't be any problems with it. 

    Make sure the wireless settings are configured correctly. Also check with the adapter.

  • WRT300Nv1 and Xbox 360

    I just got set up yesterday with this combo, and so far so good.  Upgraded firm ware as well.  Just wanted to know the best way to achieve optimal performance and speed.  Any configuration suggestions on the router would be much obliged. Thank you for reading.
    Running WinXP Pro
    Xbox 360 w/wireless
    2 Xbox wireless controllers
    Should I run it exclusively on G band? Or mixed B/G?  Should I broadcast, use DMZ, QoS, or close a MAC?  Just new to all of this and want to maximize the router and bandwith to the 360 when it and the cpu are looking for a share.

  • E2000 and XBox 360 Wifi Failed Connection

    my new e2000 is connected to the internet and works for the IPAD (wifi) and desktop pc (wired), while our new xbox 360 with built in wifi recognizes the e2000, but wont connect so I can get xbox live.  I spent 2 hours with xbox and cisco support.  the error message continues to tell me there is an internet connection issue.  I've followed all the help online and via phone support and then Cisco wants me to pay $70 for third party assistance to guarantee connection.  It seems that the xbox should require me to enter the e2000 password to connect, but I have yet had a place to prompt me to enter it.  How do I get these two systems to talk?  It's either an xbox setting or a cisco setting that I can't figure out.  Any help will be appreciated.  Do I need to buy the e3000?
    Thanks

    Access the page of your router
    Trigger ports: 3074/53/88/22728/33233
    2869/10280-10284/1900/1024
    Click Applications and Gaming Center Tab
    Click Port Range Trigger
    Ex:
    Application name: xbox1, xbox2
    xbox1--enter port 3074 on all 4 boxes and click enable
    xbox2--enter 10280 on start box and 10284 on end box, same for the other 2 boxes and click enable.
    Enter all number and on the applications boxes and save

  • Problems with iPod 5G and xbox 360

    Just recently after updating to the newer versions 1.2.2 and 1.2.3, my xbox 360 no longer recognizes my ipod. This kind of bothers me simply because I wouldn't think it would be very hard to make it possible for my xbox 360 to read my ipod.
    Message was edited by: Host

    This is really annoying.
    I updated my iPod firmware just the other day - and only because iTunes prompted me to.
    Now I've tried to connect my iPod to my Xbox for the first time and...hmmmm...the ipod doesn't show up.
    After trying various things and wasting a lot of time, I've found this post (thanks guys!). At least now I know what the problem is.
    Come on Apple!!! Judging by the number of sites I found talking about the subject, loads of people with iPods connect them to their Xboxes.

  • Iphone 4 Video and Xbox 360 as my PC's Windows Media Center

    I noticed that all video formats play perfectly over my Xbox 360 except for video shot with my iphone 4. It plays the video in slow motion while the audio is at regular speed. It's very annoying. Is their a fix for this or do I just need to convert the iphone 4 videos to h264 mp4, or regular mp4? Any quick fixes so I don't have to do the converting? When I play them on my HP they play just fine. I'm assuming it has something to do with the Xbox 360 not having an updated codec. Any ideas will be tried.
    Thanks

    I'm in the same Xbox 360 boat. I'm also amazed at the lack of information on this problem since the iPhone 4 has been out so long and the Xbox 360 received an update long after.
    It has to be a codec issue since the Xbox 360 can play 1080p content. The iPhone 4 720p video can't be more intensive than 1080p.
    While I'm at it why can't the Xbox 360 play iTunes Plus and iTunes Lossless audio, they're DRM free (I use Connect360 to get around the issue)? Seriously, Microsoft has to be doing it on purpose. Every attempt I've made to get this question answered has been met with a MS wall.

  • Getting DSL Modem, TimeCapsule, and XBox 360 to play nice

    I just bought a 1TB Time Capsule and pretty much hooked it up without reading the manual by using what seemed like the defaults. Everything seems to be working fine...I've got internet access, my two MacBooks are backing up using Time Machine...my only issue is that XBox 360, which connects wirelessly, is offline, (i.e., it can't connect to XBox Live.)
    I have AT&T DSL internet. I plugged my TC into the Westell DSL Modem and ran the Airport configuration software. Using the default or recommended options, My TC assumed the settings for the wireless server of my Westell Modem. (I selected the "Bridge" setting when I got to that part.) When I was told to turn off the other wireless device (My Westell modem's wireless), I just logged on to the modem and turned off the wireless.
    Everything worked fine...until I went to get on to XBox Live. It fails the connection test on XBox. (Everything else still works great.)
    What do I need to do to get the XBox back up and running? It appears that my Westell is the router, handing out IP addresses, and my TC is just a wireless bridge to my Westell. Why wouldn't it hand an address to the XBox just like is doing for my two MacBooks?
    I still have my HP Color LaserJet hooked up via ethernet to the Westell.
    Is there a better way to hook all this up?

    Maybe I shouldn't have said I have the "default settings". At each step along the initial configuration path, I read the details for each option, and choose the path that would seem to work best in my environment.
    In my initial post that indicated that I chose the "Bridge" route that you recommended, but my XBox 360 is not getting an IP address from my Westell DSL modem. Yet my 2 MacBooks, 1 MacBook Pro, 2 iPhones and 1 iPod touch all seem to get served IP addresses without a hitch.
    There was a was an option about NAT & Something else after "Bridge" was selected. Is there something about that setting that would allow Mac stuff to access my network, but prevent a Microsoft-rigid device like an XBox 360 from gaining access?

  • Internet Routing a limited-access PC to my iMac AND xbox 360

    Hello All,
    I have a company work computer (PC) at home which does not have administrative access, however, I've been able to download software like firefox and save it to my desktop only.
    Next to this PC, I have my iMac. On the other side of the wall, is my tv room with our xbox 360 which is really a powerful online gaming console.
    I have been frustrated in the past in routing an internet connection to be shared with the PC and iMac. And now I'd like to share the internet with the 360 at the same time. I've had to share the internet "cave man" style by unplugging my Comcast Modem, unplug the ethernet connection, reconnect the ethernet from whichever system I want internet on, and then plug in the power.
    I have tried many times to make this work but have been unsuccessful as I think it's tricky to make the PC and iMac work together. The IT people at work say the iMac has it's own IP number and I don't know if that's prevent the network from working. I've been trying to research the "how-to" and came across something about a "DHCP" but I don't even know if that's my issue.
    I'm reluctant in buying an airport router from Apple because it's not 100% refundable if the packaging is open.
    If you can help, please teach me how to do this. A huge thank you in advance.
    Thank you!

    By default most routers do not use the MAC address for distributing connections, but they can be configured to do so. Modern routers' security settings can be configured to allow access only to machines whose MAC addresses have been entered into the Include list. This creates a "private" network only accessible to those whose MAC addresses have been added to the list, and prevents others from gaining access to the network. Used together with passwords and firewalls they provide effective barriers to prevent unwanted access to the network. Using the MAC address is a good way of securing a wireless network from access by users "outside" of the local network.
    The mechanism used to share an internet connection is called NAT (Network Address Translation) that is used to "map" a real IP address (the one received by the modem from the ISP) to multiple devices. The actual assignment of the local IP numbers is usually done by the DHCP server in the router (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol.) The DHCP server obtains all the IP parameters required by connected devices so they can communicate through the router - the important ones being the Gateway IP, real IP, network mask, and the local IP.
    In theory a router makes it possible for multiple device such as a Mac, a PC, an XBox, and a printer to all connect to a local network and to communicate with each other. I don't use any gaming machines like an XBox, but my home LAN is setup using an Airport Extreme Base Station that is connected to my cable modem and to a high speed network switch. I have three computers, two network printers, and a SlingBox currently connected in the network. The latter connects wireless from an Airport Express. In addition to the devices normally connected there are two other laptops that may connect wirelessly when needed. I have a second Airport Express in the house that is used to help extend the network because my house has plastered walls with metal laths that tend to reduce wireless signal strength.
