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!

  • PS3 and XBox 360 problems. NAT issue.

    I don't know if anyone is having this issue. I own an XBox 360 and a PS3, both connected wirelessly to my WRT54GS router. If I play the XBox 360 (which requires an open NAT) it's fine. As soon as I download something (not play something) on my PS3, it turns the NAT into Moderate rather than Open. When I again turn on my XBox 360 I have problems with Live. So I must reset my router every time I download content on my PS3.
    Does anyone know why this happens or how to keep it from happening again?
    Thanks,
    Ryan

    check out the hardware version on the unit...and then go to www.linksys.com/download and look for the firmware of the appropriate version number of WRT54GS...
    access the router interface using http://192.168.1.1 . Logon using the password "admin"..ensure that the router has the same firmware as available on the website...if not , upgrade it first..
    after the firmware upgrade , reset the router and reconfigure ...
    on the router ui , change the MTU settings to 1364 ...assign static ip add and dns on the x-box and PS3....the ip add should be out of the range of the router's DHCP ( i.e out of 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.149 )
    on the router ui , go to "Applications and gaming" tab and forward ports 88 and 3074 for the ip add of the x-box and 10070 - 10080 , 6000 - 6999 for the PS3..

  • 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?!?!?

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Ps3 and Xbox 360 already asked many times but no solution works

    Hi,
    first of all I'd like to share with all of you my real disappoint for having bought this Airport Extreme Base Station. I really hope that someone at Apple will read my post and come to my house because I would have just a few words to tell them.
    After 4 years of proficuous cooperation my Netgear WI-Fi router left me and I immediately thought to replace it with an Apple product just to be sure that it would have been easy to install and on top of performances.
    I chose the Airport Extreme which is much more expensive than quite all the other same product but I didn't care about it because I would have brang home an excellent product.....or...at least I thought it !
    Once in my room the soap opera began. I'm not a genius but I consider myself a medium skilled user and, in any case, even it is not my real job, I configured many bigger LANs than my personal ones and I never had such kidn of problem.
    I read many posts where people were asking for information because they couldn't connect their Airport Extreme to their PS3 or Xbox 360 but I never had such kind of problem. It really worked immediately and both consoles worked in few moments.
    My REAL problem is that both of them are terribly slow and I can't do anything online. I can't see streming videos, I can't play online and I can't neither play videos that are on a LAN DLNA server !!!!! It takes about 35 seconds to play a video and some times it has to stop for empty buffering reason. This is really unacceptable.
    I tried so many configurations and nothing changed and I also took a look at some guides but they had been written with old firmwares so they are quite unuseful for me.
    After having asked a friend of mine to give me his router (a Netgear ones) for some days I finally made myself sure that the problem is the Airport Extreme.
    It also has a very poor signal because my iPhone has difficulties to keep the connection in areas where my old router worked fully.
    If only I could turn back time I'd never buy it again but now, having spent to useless my money, could you please let me know a working configuration for the latest firmware 7.4.2 ? I tried to use the previous firmware but I have the same problems.
    There is only a wall separating the Airport Extreme from the PS3 and Xbox and both of them get a 100% of signal but I really don't know what to do.
    Thanks for all the help you could provide me.
    Bye.
    Christian

    Sorry but I have no way to measure the actual throughput for any of my devices (I have 2 Xboxes which have the same problem and even my iPhone suffer of a bad connection).
    In any case I really can't understand why the connection is so bad. I can even get in touch with my ISP to ask them if there is some problem with the connection (maybe a coincidence and the Airport Extreme has nothing to do with it ?????) but the facts remain: even my DLNA server and PS3 connection is slow and I can't clearly see the movies I have in my intenal LAN and also the iPhone show a poor connection to the Airport Extreme and it is because of the Extreme for sure.
    I really don't know what to do.

  • WRT55AG and XBox 360 connectivity issues

    I've had this router for almost 2 years and in the last month I've started developing issues of when I play a game on the XBox 360 I get constant issues with lag and disconnecting errors that make playing any game online impossible, but I never lose connection to XBox Live. This is happening with multiple games including Team Fortress 2, Call of Duty 4, and Halo 3.
    Now before this I would have problems where the router would completely lose connection with my cable modem and I would have to reset everything but then it would be fine. Now I don't lose internet connection (PC is wired into router while 360 is wireless with Microsoft's official Wi-Fi periphial) or XBox Live connection, but any game I try to play is a fruitless endeavor because of lag.
    My ISP is Charter Communication in the St. Louis area, and my connection is 3 down, 256 up. I have done speed tests and I'm getting pretty much those speeds exactly. I have opened the ports to make my NAT open, and the XBox test confirms my NAT is open.
    I'm at the end of my rope, any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Open routers set up page using http://192.168.1.1 ...leave username blank & in  password use admin....
    Click on "application & gaming" tab ...... forward the ports 88 & 3074 for static Ip of X-BOX ....enable the servie & click save settings ....
    USe static Ip ...subnet mask ...gateway & DNS numbers on X-BOX confgiuration
    Do power cycle & see if you arew able to play games online or not...

  • AirPort Extreme and xbox 360

    How do I open NAT on 2013 AirPort Extreme 7.1 for xbox 360 connection?

    Unfortunately, the AirPorts are not listed as Xbox Live-compatible routers ... so there is no guarantee doing this will get Open NAT status for Xbox Live!
    Basically what it comes down to is that although you can get an Internet connection for the Xbox with the AirPorts, you may not get the necessary NAT setting (Moderate or Open) for the Xbox Live! on-line game that you want to play. As such, you basically have two options: 1) Create a DMZ (Apple calls this a Default Host) for the XBox or 2) Configure the AirPort for Port mapping to open the required ports to allow Xbox Live! access ... or 3) Use a compatible router.
    Option 1 - Create a DMZ
    AirPort Utility > Select the AirPort > Edit > Network Options
    Enable default host at: <Enter the IP Address for the XBox>
    Option 2 - Configure Port Mapping
    The following ports must be available for Xbox Live to operate correctly:
    UDP 53
    UDP 88
    UDP 1863
    UDP 3074
    TCP 53
    TCP 80
    TCP 1863
    TCP 3074
    To setup port mapping on an AirPort base station, either connect to the AirPort's wireless network or temporarily connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to one of the base station's LAN ports, and then use the AirPort Utility, to make these settings:
    1. Reserve a DHCP-provided IP address for the Xbox 360.
    AirPort Utility > Select the AirPort > Edit > Network tab
    Click the "+" (Add) button to enter a DHCP Reservation.
    Description: <enter the desired description of the host device>
    Reserve address by: MAC Address
    MAC Address: <Enter the MAC hardware address of the Xbox or the MAC address of the wireless depending on how you connect the XBox to the network.>
    IPv4 Address: <enter the desired Private IP address you want to assign to the Xbox>
    Click Save.
    2. Setup Port Mapping on the AEBSn.
    While still on the Network tab:
    Click the "+" (Add) button under the Port Settings dialog box.
    Description: <you must enter a description here; it can be anything you want>
    Public UDP Port(s): 53, 88, 1863, 3074
    Public TCP Port(s): 53, 80, 1863, 3074
    Private IP Address: <enter the DHCP Reserved IP address for the Xbox you created earlier>
    Private UDP Port(s): 53, 88, 1863, 3074
    Private TCP Port(s): 53, 80, 1863, 3074
    Click Save
    Click Update and allow the AirPort to restart.

  • Toshiba 40E220U and Xbox 360

    SO Happy 4th everyone!! :-)
    I just purchased a Toshiba 40E220U 40" tv. super excited. be here tomorrow night.
    My question is, I wonder where the red, yellow and white cables go from my DVD player to the back of the TV
    and, I assume that I just hook up the hdmi cable from back of Xbox 360 to the back of the TV and that's it? Do I need to make any changes on settings? I guess all this will make sense when I get it set up! :-)
    thank you so much

    It might be late, but happy Fourth to you as well! By now you've likely already been playing with the TV for a few days, but I thought I'd explain in case you still needed help.
    For the Xbox 360, indeed, that's it! For your DVD player, there is a setting you'll have to switch. That TV uses a shared component and composite connection.
    You may already know this, but composite cables use red and white for audio and a yellow cable for video. Component connections use three cables for video rather than one. The TV has the five jacks for component connections. When connecting something (like your DVD player) with composite, you'll connect the audio cables like normal and connect the yellow video cable to the upper-right (green, I believe) video port.
    Then you'll need to go in the "Preferences" menu and change "AV Input" from "ColorStream HD" to "Video."

  • 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.
