Question about port forwarding 2 xbox 360s to get rid of NAT on one of them

I have a xbox 360 with the official xbox 360 wireless antenna that is already set up for port forwarding and my NAT is fine.  My brother has a xbox 360 and he has a NAT problem but he doesn't have a official xbox 360 wireless antenna, he hooked up his laptop to his xbox 360 via ethernet cable and is using his laptops wireless card for the connection and he gets a NAT error when he tests his connection to xbox live.  Is it possible to port forward 2 xbox's?  I'm sure I have to set up some type of static IP for him but the thing is that I'm not sure what IP address to assign to him.  If it is possible, would he have to use a static IP address on his laptop since he's using that for a wireless connection?  If this is at all possible could someone post some step-by-step instructions on how I should set this up?  Below I will give you what I have set up for my xbox 360 to open up my NAT I just want to know what static IP I can use for him.  Can I use just any numbers?
In my port forwarding tab in my wireless modem I have the following:
and in my xbox i have the following settings:
IP address: 192.168.1.20
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1
Primary DNS: 4.2.2.2
Secondary DNS: 192.168.1.1
I have all that entered for myself and my xbox NAT is open.  I just need to set up his xbox if it is at all possible.  Please help!!!
P.S. My router is a WRT54GS v2.0 with updated firmware, just incase you need that info.

ok that still didn't help me.... he still has a NAT problem.... I don't....I went to port triggering and added the ports that you described but it didn't open his NAT... If the connection is going through his laptop(acting like the xbox 360's wireless antenna) wouldn't either his laptop or his xbox need a static ip? because I had to set up my xbox manually with the following addresses:
ip: 192.168.1.20
subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
default gateway: 192.168.1.1
primary dns: 4.2.2.2
secondary dns: 192.168.1.1
so in essence wouldn't his laptop need to be configured with some kind of static ip or something? because if he puts in what I just stated into his xbox it wont connect at all because I guess the ip's are conflicting....so what do I do now?

  • Question about "Linked" pictures and how to get rid of them?

    I have recently upgraded from a 2011 MacBook Pro to a 2013 MacBook Pro and there is a picture under Users & Groups when you go to change the display picture under "Linked" that I can't get rid of, while that isn't really an issue even though I would like to get rid of it if possible, every time I change my picture on Messages, when I close the application and come back into it, that linked picture is my display picture again. Any suggestions?

  • QUICK QUESTION ABOUT PORTS

    Hi, I have a quick question about port forwarding/mapping. My question, lets say I am running MSN messenger, who's ports are 6880-6900. But lets say I am running a torrent application or something else that requires those ports. If both applications were running at the same time, would this cause interference with them on the same ports or now. Thanks
    Nathan

    Normally, only one application can listen to a specific port number at a time. If MSN is grabbing those 21 ports then your torrent app won't be able to run.
    However, most apps don't work that way - even if they use multiple ports, they don't use them all at the same time, so MSN might use 6880 when it starts up, leaving the others open for other applications to use if needed.
    Only experimentation will answer that one.

  • Question about ports

    Hi,
    I have a clarification question about ports and Java. Assuming all firewalls are disabled on a PC, a Java application can connect to any port via a socket to communicate with other PCs, as long as this port is not used by another application.
    Is the following correct:
    a) Two applications (Java or no) cannot connect to the same port together, ever.
    b) Two Java applications sending and receiving datagram over a given multicast address using the same port can never communicate with each other when ran on the same PC because of a).
    Thanks,
    J.

Yes. As long as that port is not already bound for listening.
    If you mean a client application can connect to any port where a server is listening, then it doesn't matter if another client is talking to the server on that port, as long as the server is written to handle concurrent connections.

    a) Two applications (Java or no) cannot connect to the same port together, ever. No, see above. Unless by "connect" you mean "bind". (Even that may be incorrect terminology.)
    b) Two Java applications sending and receiving datagram over a given multicast address using the same port can never communicate with each other when ran on the same PC because of a).Not sure exactly what you're saying here.
    Really, though, why not just write some code and try it?

  • Nation advanced search on my IMac, which I think is a spyware. When I want wo go to google chrome it redirects me to this ominous nation search engeen. Has anybody got some information about it and how I can get rid of

    I just caught a thing called nation advanced search on my iMac computer, which I think is a spyware. When I want wo go to google chrome it redirects me to this ominous nation search engeen. Has anybody got some information about it and how I can get rid of it? What does can it do to my data and is it really a spyware? I just found information in youtube, that it is a spyware, and that it has to be removed, but the information they give for the removal is just working for PCs not for Macs.
    Please help!

    Thank you all for the friendly assistance provided.
    I have found a solutiton to the problem I was having.  I hope that many more can benefit from the information I will provide.
    I started at Finder, then went to GO selected COMPUTER and then Machintosh HD, then Library, Scripting Additions folder and trashed all that was there. This is what worked for me, if you choose to not delete your content its up to you.  Happy Computing.

  • A magnifying glass and search box show up in my e-mails and I can't read them unless I hit reply or forward. how do I get rid of the magnifying glass and search box?

    A magnifying glass and search box show up in my e-mails and I can't read them unless I hit reply or forward. how do I get rid of the magnifying glass and search box?

    First, some clarification:
    * The location bar (often called the "awesome bar") is the larger bar on the left that shows you the address of the page you are currently viewing. As you type in the location bar it searches your history and bookmarks for matches.
    * The search bar is the smaller one on the right. It typically displays an icon of whichever search engine is currently selected and may display search suggestions as you type in it.
    It sounds like you are referring to the search bar rather than the location bar. You can change search engines for the search bar by clicking on the icon on the left edge of the search bar and choosing a different one. You can also choose "Manage Search Engines" to remove ones you aren't interested in using.
    It also sounds like Bearshare might have changed your homepage in Firefox. To restore that you will need to open the preferences menu (click Tools > Preferences), go to the General tab (first on the top left), and click "Restore to Default".

    Paul--you are a life-saver!! Worked great. I did have to look around to make sure I was getting 4.9 instead of 4.7 (even when the file was named 4.9 at techspot.com), but I finally got the right file, did the install as you suggested, and everything is now fine. One note, though, that I haven't seen mentioned in any of this thread: when I first tried to open up iTunes after getting back to 4.9, the following message appeared: "The file iTunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." I merely went to the old .itl file that was created when I did the update to iTunes 5, renamed it, moved it over to my now new 4.9, and iTunes opened fine. My library was a few days out of date, because of the few days' lag from the time I did the iTunes update, but that was easily taken care of, and everything's now working fine. Thanks again!!!

  • HT1311 I have two iTunes accounts an. Am trying to get rid of he primary one because I don't have access to that email anymore but it seems impossible?

    I have two iTunes accounts an. Am trying to get rid of he primary one because I don't have access to that email anymore but it seems impossible?

    Just cahnge the e-mail account asssociated with the account.  There was no need to start another account.
    You cannot delete and account, nor would you want to.  All purchases made with an account will always be tied to that account.

  • Purchase song on notebook, change info, iCloud syncs with iTouch with old info, i sync then 2 copies on iTouch, can't get rid of old info one.  Help?

    Also, you need to have activated the computer for use with itunes. Why that's not done when you install is a mystery.
    Because you don't need an iTunes account tio use or install iTunes.
    You cannot authorize the computer until you have an account because that's what you are authorizing.
    Note, you can only have 5 active computers, but you can deactivate all of them.
    You can have 5 computers authorized at any one time. You can only select Deauthorize all when you do hae 5 authorized and you can only do it one time per year.
    Next, create/update your itunes account.
    Again you cannot "activate" (which is authorize) unless you have an iTunes account. So you cannot authorize iTunes and then create an iTunes account.

  • There are several login keychain items I'd like to get rid of. I've deleted them but they come back after several hours. How can I get rid of them for good

    There are several login keychain items I'd like to get rid of. I've deleted them but they come back after several hours. How can I get rid of them for good.

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
    Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
              Change Settings for Keychain "login"
    In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
    From the menu bar, select
              Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
    If the box marked
              Keep login keychain unlocked
    is not checked, check it.
    Select
              Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
    from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.
