WRT54GS V7.50 with XBox 360

Sorry guys i know you probably get fed up with all the 360 questions around here, but I have tried searching here and google (Someone will now find an answer to my Q! lol).
Anyway heres how my setup is.
Modem into router
Cable from Router to PC
Laptop connects wireless with built in wireless
Cable from laptop to Xbox 360 and share net connection.
Now, it all connects fine, I signed up to LIVE bla bla.
Did a test everything looked fine, NAT even said OPEN. Mate send me a request to play Halo3 and says I cant connect and mentions NAT. Tried all sorts of different guides. One told me to give the xbox an IP manually, but then it just doesnt connect, do a test and gives an error when it comes to "IP".
Now the IP it gives automatically is 192.168.0.xxx
Yet all my other IPS, and when using port foward etc on my router, i dont have the option to use a IP that end 0.xx there all 1.xx?
Is this because I'm connecting through the laptop?
http://www.ianarchbold.com/xboxlive/ <---- this is one of the guides I tried to follow
Cheers for any help.

Conenct your xbox directly to the router then it will work fine. The ip 0.xx is because your xbox is connected to the lap top.

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.

Linksys WRT54G compatible with XBOX 360's Wireless Network Adapter?

Is the Linksys Wireless G Broadband Router (WRT54G) compatible with XBOX 360's Wireless Network Adapter?

Use the LAN port and cable. That way you'll get no interference and great data transfer. Or this maybe helps. http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/connecttolive/xbox360/homenetworking/equipment.htm

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.

Connecting with Xbox 360

is there a reason iPhones won't connect with Xbox 360's like iPods did?

Because even though it plays mp3 and has ipod capabilites...it's a phone! Were you able to connect your previous cell phone to your Xbox?

Hey kole71,
That particular model of Plantronics is compatible for PC gaming but not Xbox 360. Plantronics does have some headsets that work with 360, and I've attached a PDF of the chart found on their website. Hope that helps!

WRT54G Issues with Xbox 360

Okay, I got this Wireless router so that my family could get more then one computer eventually. Now we only have one computer still but we have added an Xbox 360 to our network recently. However, the version 6 that we bought is not on xbox 360 compatible router list and encounters some problems. Namely that it causes some of my friends games to be unjoinable and doesn't allow chatting with them. I need to figure out how to get this router to be able to work at full efficiency with my 360 or else I will constantly be hooking and unhooking the DSL cable and directly connecting to my modem. I'm curious if running it as a router instead of a gateway may help with this. I'm also curious if anyone has already fixed this problem. Any more data needed by you I will gladly provide. Oh, also, the ISP is Windstream.

WRT54GS NAT Settings Concerning Xbox 360 Setup

My xbox 360 is connected to a Dell Inspiron B130 notebook via an Ethernet cable. The notebook is then connected wirelessly to a Linksys WRT54GS router. The router, finally, is connected to a Sprint DSL modem. My problem is that with this setup, whenever I try to play online on my 360, it tells me that my "NAT settings" are set to "Strict", and that they should be set to "Open". Could someone please tell me how to fix this problem, providing step-by-step instructions? Thanks!

Do have the proper ports forwarded in your router?? Be my only guess......or check ebay for an xbox360 wireless adaptor.

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.

WRT54G v6 - Troubles connecting XBOX 360 to XBOX Live?

I just purchased a new XBOX 360 and I'm finding that I can't connect to XBOX Live using my WRT54G v6 (firmware version 1.01.1).
If I connect the XBOX 360 directly to my DSL modem, I can connect to XBOX Live.
If I try to connect the XBOX 360 to the WRT54G v6 (using either a direct ethernet connection, or using the XBOX 360 Wireless adapter) I can't connect to XBOX Live.
When I run the diagnostic tests on the XBOX 360, all of my connection tests pass with flying colours.
Has anyone else had this problem? How do you fix it?

hi, i have just recently bought the wireless adapter for the 360, and i keep getting boot off xbox live when ever my brother turns his PS3 on or off. even when a house call is made or comes in i get booted. if my brother doesnt turn his PS3 on or a call doesnt come in or go out, i can play fine, but once one of those happens i get booted. noone knows what i can do, xbox told me to call linksys, i was never able to talk to a real person on the phone, just machines. does any one have a clue??? i was told to change my NAT, but it's open, so i dont know what to do.

Sharing Internet with xbox 360

Hi, I have my Powerbook sharing internet with my Xbox 360. The connection works well and I am able to play games, but the NAT is listed as Moderate, with a Moderate NAT I am not able to do private voice chats with people. Does anyone know how I can get my NAT to Open? Also, I would like to share my media with my Xbox that is stored on a Windows XP computer. I followed all the steps given at www.xbox.com/pcsetup, but the Xbox still does not see the computer.
Any help would be appreciated, Thnx

If you are using Internet Sharing on your PowerBook you can forget trying to modify NAT settings or make nearly any other adjustments. There are very, very, very few options.
If you want to make adjustments like that you need to get a real base station.

HDMI with Xbox 360

I just got an xbox 360 and i hooked it up to my imac with my eyetv hybrid. Can use the HDMI cables to make it High Def? What can i use to make it so it will hook up to the cables.
thanks

If your receiver supports HDMI inputs and passthrough then go there first from the xbox, and send the passthrough to the TV. If you can't do that then try digital audio out of the xbox to the receiver and HDMI to the TV for just video.
I read something in another thread about some Toshiba TV outputting only PCM stereo as passthrough from a HDMI input so I bet that's what is happening here.

Replacing Apple TV with Xbox 360, Video Questions

I have had an ATV for a little over a year and thanks to Handbrake I now have an incredible Movie Library over 600 flicks ripped for ATV with the .m4v extension. This month I am getting an Xbox 360 and would like to use it in place of my ATV and move the ATV to another room. I have been doing my research and everything says I should use Connect 360 or Rivet to make contact between my iMac and Xbox 360. Though I have read that movies with the extension .m4v will not read. I have read on various sites that I could just change the extension to .mp4 or .avi and it will work fine. Though alot of the data out there on connect 360 and Xbox 360 streaming seems to be outdated and I can't tell what has been fixed by updates. so... my questions are,
1. Will my movies stream to xbox 360 via connect 360 in the .m4v format?
2.If no, can I just change the extension to .mp4 or .AVI? (I changed the extension from .MP4 to .m4v on some movies when I got the ATV due to some recognition issues in itunes last year and had no problem)
3. If I change the extensions will my ATV still be able to play these videos from elsewhere in the house?
4. Will it all just work flawlessly with no problems thanks to amazing updates from all parties?

I wanted a next gen game system. Part of the way I could convince my wife to let me get an xbox (Im whipped) was to offer to move the ATV to the bedroom so she could view our media in there. Since the Xbox has media center qualities I figured I would take atvantage of them. Now I trying to figure out the best way to get both working.
