WRT54G not connecting to XBOX 360.

Ok, my Xbox was working fine with my router since I got it, nearly 2 months ago. But just this last week I have not been able to pull an IP address from it, no matter what I try.
It just gives me the error message;
"Your console was unable to negotiate a lease with your DHCP server. Make sure that addresses are available on your server."
I have 3 other devices running on my network, (PC, Wii, and Laptop) and they have no problem connecting. I do have the DHCP users set so enough can connect, and I'm running a wired connection. Power cycling everything hasn't helped yet, either.
I can't even get it to connect if I plug it in straight into the modem.. which as I understand should be pretty straight forward, but I just keep getting the same error. Could this mean something is wrong with Xbox?
Any help would be appreciated!
WRT54G v5
firmware v1.02.2

I tried it with DMZ, it still failed.
Doing a manual setup fails the at IP Address test and gives me the message
"Your gateway did not respond to a network request."
Doing the automatic setup fails as well but gives the message
"Your console was unable to negotiate a lease with your DHCP server. Make sure that addresses are available on your server."
Interestingly enough, it DID pass the IP test a few with manual settings, but it failed on the DNS settings.
I don't know what to make of this.

  • WRT54G wont connect with xbox 360

    i had my main computer hooked up to the wrt54g with a cable and had a laptop on the wireless and the xbox hooked up on a cable also. im selling the main computer and using just the laptop and now the xbox wont connect with anything. its driving me insane. at one point i had it but the xbox lost it again and has not worked at all.
    do i have to have the laptop hooked up to the wrt54g for the xbox to work? when the laptop is hooked to the cable it works and when i disconnect it stops working yet i could run my old pc and this laptop wireless and xbox still worked.
    i uninstalled the linksys advisor program and reinstalled and finally said screw it and deleted it and now the laptop connects finally but still no xbox.

    Do the following settings on your Router for X-Box to connect...

    Click on "Applications and Gaming" tab and then click on "Port Range Forwarding" subtab...
    1) On the first line in Application box type in ABC, in the start box type in 53 and End box type in 3074, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box, click Save Settings once done...

    Yes, you have the ports connected backwards.
    The WAN port is labelled with the "circle of dots" icon, and must be connected to your DSL modem.
    The LAN port is labelled with the "double-headed arrow" icon, and that is where you connect ethernet cabled devices on your LAN.
    See Apple's article AirPort Base Station: About the WAN and LAN Ports
    What is surprising is that you haven't previously run into all sorts of problems with your existing setup. Once you cable things properly, you will likely have to power down your DSL modem and Base Station for a while (sometimes just an instant, sometimes overnight). After waiting, plug the modem into power and wait a minute. Then plug the base station into power and wait for it to restart.

  • How do I connect my Xbox 360 to my iMac

    I want to use my imac as a TV so i want to know how to connect the xbox 360 to my imac.
    Thank you for your support

    What iMac model do you have ?
    The 2011 ThunderBolt iMacs only work with other ThunderBolt Macs Thunderbolt 10.6 Help: Using another Mac as an external display
    For the 2009 and 2010 27" iMacs with Mini DisplayPort you would need something like the Kanex XD http://www.kanexlive.com/xd
    The Kanex XD is not compatible with ThunderBolt iMacs.

  • Can I use the mini displayport to vga adaptor with the xbox vga cable to connect my xbox 360 to my macbook pro?

    I'm trying to find a way to connect my xbox 360 to my mackbook pro. I've searched the internet and found that I can use a eagle eye device but, its to expensive. So after looking at the xbox website, I found a vga adaptor for my xbox and an vga to mini displayport and I was wondering if this would work.

    The minidisplay port is output only. It's not going to show anything from your xbox.

  • Trying to connect an XBOX 360 to my airport base station via  ethernet cabl

    Hello,
    I have the older snow airport base station and was trying to connect my xbox 360 to it via an ethernet port. There are only 2 ethernet ports on the snow base station. one is being used by the cable coming from my dsl modem. the other free port i tried plugging into my xbox 360 to no avail. the xbox cant get an ip address. the open ethernet port on the base station is labeled with the circle logo. the one being used by my dsl modem has the two outer pointing arrows. I turned off the airport to my macbook and tried to connect my macbook to that port my xbox was in and it would not connect to the net either. Is it possible, i have the ports backwards. my wireless internet for all 3 mac computers works fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!
    Thanks!!!

  • Wrt54GS router and Wrt54GS wireless adapter on Xbox 360

    Totally new in the wireless router business, I bought the Wrt54GS router and the Wrt54GS adapter to connect my Xbox 360.
    I installed the router with the cd and connected my pc on the router with a fixed ethernet cable.
    So far everything working fine.
    Then connected the wireless adapter on the Xbox 360, but it seems like the Xbox 360 doesn't recognise the Wrt54GS adapter.
    What did i do wrong?
    Sebastian

    Do you have wireless PC's ? are they able to go online ?
    enable network security and also change the beacon to 50 and the RTS and fragmentation threshold by 40 each under the advanced wireless settings.

  • Connecting my xbox 360 (elite) to my macbook pro?

    I recently got a Macbook pro for christmas, and was wondering if there was anyway that I could connect my xbox 360 elite to it. I want to use the my macbook screen as a screen for my 360, at least until I can afford a new TV (roommate knocked my 32" samsung off its stand and broke it christmas day...).
    I heard there is a VGA coord from microsoft that connects from a vga port to the back of the xbox, and i have the DVI to VGA adapter for the mac already. Was just making sure this works before I spend the $50.
    Thanks!

    Broschati,
    No, this won't work. The DVI port on your Macbook Pro is for video out. The Macbook Pro's display is connected directly to the GPU, and there is no way to input video to it.

  • Qosmio G20 VGA in for connecting to XBox 360

    How can i connect a Xbox 360 to the qosmio using a VGA HD cable like this?
    http://www.xbox.com/en-US/hardware/x/xbox360vgahdcable/
    Is it possible to use the fantastic monitor of the Qosmio to play?
    Any help apreciated

    Mores is right, there is no VGA input on the Qosmio G20 (I wish there was though), you have to use an S-Video connection from your Xbox. Using the Qosmio player works perfectly well, there's no delay at all, the only problem I had was the video quality was utterly terrible. S-Video out from my 360 to a TV was fine, but input into the laptop looked awful, oh well!
    Cheers,

  • Unsure about connecting my Xbox 360 to soundcard

    I have searched this forum and looked at the stickies to determine if this is possible before posting but am a little confused so I decided to ask for clarification...
    I have a Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatalty Professional Series installed in my PC
    I am considering purchasing the Sound Blaster Digital I/O module
    Is it possible to get 5. surround from my PC speakers if I connect my Xbox 360 to this setup using the Xbox 360 VGA HD AV Cable?
    Are there any downsides to doing so? Sound lag, skips, etc?

    I don't really know.. I got a Auzentech Prelude with SPDIF (supporting optical) input and output and even after Dolby Li've or DTS is activated on my system I get no sound whatsoever if I activate Dolby Digital on my Xbox360?
    Is it supposed to be like that? No sound when running Dolby Digital through a optical cable to my Auzentech Prelude?
    Dolby Stereo works, but then again I guess it wont really utilize my 7. speaker setup at all?
    Or does the sound card upmix to 7. or something, even when running Dolby Stereo on the Xbox360?
    No sound at all if I select Dolby Digital or that Dolby Digital WMA thing.. I thought Auzentech Prelude supported both Dolby Digital and that WMA thing?
    At least the SPDIF / Optical output does?

    Any Help anyone.. please?

    What is the IP address you are getting on this PC? Check if you can ping to this router with its IP address (default IP: 192.168.1.1) if not then try resetting it for 1 min by pressing the reset button. Once you get the ping then you can try configuring the router.

  • I had a problem with my WRT54GS not connecting to my inte...

    I had a problem with my WRT54GS not connecting to my internet until I cloned my old routers mac address. I was using a BEFW11S4 which was bullet proof and worked for several years until I changed to Wireless G. Upon purchasing the WRT54GS and setting up all parameters exactly like I had before I could not make any connections, wireless or otherwise until I cloned my mac address to the same address as my previous router. Apparently my ISP had that mac address registered and would not properly perform DHCP even though all other paremeters were correct. I read lots of messages here on line with issues with the WRT54GS connecting and this fixed my problem outright. If you upgrade from a previous generation router (Linksys or otherwise apparently) copy your old routers mac address and clone it to your new router and you should be able to connect. This fixed my problem after several hours and days of troubleshooting. Good Luck Karnage

    As an alternative to using MAC address cloning, you can phone your ISP, tell them you have a new router, and tell them to reset their system to accept the MAC address of your new router.   This way, you won't have to remember the old MAC address, in the event that you need to reset your router to factory defaults.

  • WRT54GS Wont support Two XBOX 360s online at the same time

    Just bought new Linksys WRT54GS to support two XBOX 360s live simultaneously.  Can't log both on at same time. It kicks first 360 off when second one tries to log on.  How can I fix this and have both NAT types open?

    I'm having the same issue.  I have comcast as ISP, Linksys modem BEFCMU10 V3, going to a Linksys router WRT54GS V4, two desk tops hardwired to the router, TiVo with a wireless and two Xbox 360s with Xbox wireless adaptors.  Each Xbox 360 has a different Live account, one has mine the other has my daughters.  Either by itself goes live just fine but as soon as the second unit is brought on the first kicked off.  If left on they will take turns dropping off from Xbox Live.  One night we alternately texted/chatted from both of our Xboxs to the same third party.  When he had signed off for the night and showed be "offline" on my unit my daughters unit still showed him "online" until we shut her Xbox off.  In addition the NAT always seems to change.  Some times its open, others it's medium or strict.  This seems to be related to having one or both Xboxs on.  I found an article on segmenting your network by using two wireless routers and running the Xboxes through the router closest to the modem and everything else through the second down line router.  I haven't tried it yet.  Anything I'm missing?  Something else I should try?  I've talked to the Geeks and some tell you can't so it and others tell me sure it will but they want $$.  I've talked to other gamers that tell they've had two Xboxs on Live with no problem.
