Xbox 360 Help

I bought a wireless adapter for my xbox 360, but my router apparantly rejects the transmission. it says on my 360 that im connected but when i try to connect to live, it says im not connected. the light on the back of the adapter is red, i cant get a green light. im pretty sure its the router thats the problem, anyone have a solution?

Before anything:
1- Power cycle your modem and router.
2- go to the router interface (default is 192.168.1.1) in a browser connected to the network and disable upnp. It seems it solved recent connections problems for many xbox users
Which test is failing in the xbox "test xbox Live connection" tests? If its the IP test, as said, make sure the xbox network settings are correct. Do a Reset to Factory Defaults on the xbox and re-enter your wireless and security settings if you have any.

WRT300N and xbox 360 help

Hi.
I just picked up the WRT300N - upgraded to the latest firmware:
Firmware Version: v0.93.9
I am using WEP security for my wireless. I can connect fine with various computers/laptops, getting good IP addresses, etc.
From my xbox 360 - fails to get an IP address.
Before the wrt300n I had a Apple Airport saucer thingy, and I had to disable security to get the xbox to get a valid IP. I do not want to disable security on the linksys - this should work.
Can anyone help out with this? Not sure what else to try here.

Hi. . .
As You Are Not Getting An Ip Address On The Xbox.You Can Try Giving In A Static Ip Address To Your Xbox(manual).You can try
Ip 192.168.1.x(10--99),
Dg 192.168.1.1--Please Check The Ip Address Of The Rtr. . .
On The Status Page Of The Router You Will Be Getting DNS1 And DNS2. . .
Try Inputting Those Also On The XBOX Page. . .
Let Me Know If Any Progress. . .

I recently contacted Xbox Support and they gave Port numbers and told me to contact linksys to help set the numbers up on my router. When I called them, a man told me that my that my router 's warranty is done and it would cost me 30 dollars for him to tell me how to do this.

Networking with a Xbox 360 help

At my college you can't directly connect to the internet without downloading their software and verify the computer. Because of this I can't just plug my 360 into the wall and go on XBL. Seeing as the Mac Pro has two ethernet ports, I tried sharing the internet and no matter what I did, the 360 could never connect. After using Bootcamp and loading up XP, it configured a network for me and I got the 360 to work. The problem is I don't like switching back and forth between Mac and XP so I was hoping someone could show me how to configure my network seeing as it is possible. Any help would be great.

I know this is way late and you probably don't need an answer anymore but what the heck. Internet sharing never really worked for me in Tiger but it is working now in Leopard. And also I've discovered that getting your NAT settings on and in order will help allot. It's a bit complicated to configure NAT settings and you wont find anything about out it in system preferences but you might depending on weather your using a router, ethernet DSL Modem. Not all DSL modems have NAT configurations and if you don't that's probably a good thing and you don't have to worry about ti then. But if you do, call your ISP and ask how to configure NAT settings (network address translation) They should help. Ok well I hope this helps somebody if not you.

Airport extreme connecting with xbox 360 wireless adapter problems...help!!

Has anyone linked their xbox 360 wireless adapter to an Airport Extreme? I need help! Neither Apple nor Microsoft knew how to link the two devices. If anyone has successfully been able to make this work, your help will be much appreciated. Thanks guys

Yes - Mine works no problem. I have found that I have to unplug the Xbox360 wireless adaptor and plug it back in occasionally (if the green light is on everything is fine). Are you using the correct WPA Key?

Xbox 360 and 360 connect using mini.. please help

My setup is I have my internet running through a Dlink di-524 router which is wired to my Macmini. I have xbox 360 in the other room connected via cable to a gigafast wireless router. Im basically using this gigafast router as an alternative to the expensive MS adapter. I can connect to xbox live no problems using this setup. Im using dynamic ips and I dont have MAC filtering on. Im running no security no WEP, nothing. Media sharing works once I connect a cable from my router to the xbox360 using connect 360. I have been on the phone with dlink now for about 3 hours with no help. It seems everyone blames the other company.
I have ran winxp with windows media player 11 via bootcamp and that wont work either.
does anyone have any insight to what might be going on? The dlink guy was saying its a hardware and the mac isnt letting file sharing work on wireless but is when its wired and I have to call apple... anyone heard this BS before?

My question is why will my xbox share media connected with a cable but not wireless....

XBox 360 and WRT54GS no one can fix this. Please help if you can?

I'm totally out of ideas here and would appreciate it if someone could help me? We have 2 XBox 360's both with the Microsoft XBox wireless adapters. My son has had his since they first came out whatever year that was. My youngest daughter got hers last October. Both XBox's connect to XBox LIVE without a problem via a Linksys WRT54GS wireless router. The problem we can't solve is - my oldest daughter and son-in-law live about a mile from us and they have an XBox 360. When we try to connect to their XBox (or anyone else that's local) to play against her and her husband, it won't connect and gives us a "Disconnected" prompt every time. They have no problem connecting to other XBox's locally but we, for some reason, can't. I can connect our XBox directly into our cable modem bypassing the Linksys and it connects to them, so it isn't the cable modem. I've changed settings on the router, internet, XBox with no luck. I've updated the firmware. I've read thru posts on the internet for weeks and now my brain is mush. Is this fixable or do I need to buy a new wireless router? Also, I don't know if this has anything to do with anything but we have 3 PC's and 3 DVR's also connected to the internet but are hard wired. My kids and grandkids have DSi's, a Playststion3, and a Wii and those all connect via wireless and work great. XBox has this WRT54GS listed as compatable. I'm stumped. I know there's some really sharp folks out there somewhere.......please help if you can? Thanks for any help you could offer!

Have you opened the ports on the router....?
If not then,you need to open ports 53-3074 on the router..Read this link. Also,under the security tab on the router,uncheck Block Anonymous Internet Requests and click on Save Settings...

Help getting my xbox 360 to see my shared external drive

I have an Xbox 360 that is hard wired to my Airport Extreme. I also have an external hard drive hard wired sharing on my network. I am trying to get the Xbox to see the shared drive so that I can view my content.
I searched all over the internet trying to find someone else that has done this, and the only thing that I came up with are these instructions (http://download.iomega.com/resources/hmnhd-wp-media.pdf) on how to get an IOMEGA HOME MEDIA NETWORK HARD DRIVE to connect, therefore I think that it is possible I just can't for the life of me figure out how to do it.
Side note, my external is formatted to FAT32 and if I plug it in to the Xbox directly I can view content, so I know that the conflict is not there.
Thanks for your help,
-Bryan

I figured it out. I guess I should have tried a couple more things before posting this. LOL
I narrowed it down to the 360. Everything looked fine on the Airport Express, but then the 360 had been working fine on my old router. So that's why I thought it couldn't be the 360.
I tried running the 360 wired through the Airport, and it still wouldn't connect. Then I tried connecting it straight to the modem, still wouldn't connect. So it had to be something on the 360. I restored the factory default network settings....and bam, connected wirelessly right away. It's so odd...nothing changed except for the router (when I got the Airport). So there was no reason to suspect the 360. Hope this may help if anyone else runs into this issue.

XBOX 360 Media Sharing Help

After spending 4 hours on the phone with Linksys and Microsoft, I am still unable to get my Xbox 360 to connect to my PC. Our network is set up correctly with another PC that is connected wireless and of course an XBOX 360. So I am able to access the internet on the other PC, and connect to XBOX live on the 360. I have opened all ports, disabled all firewalls (ya, im just waiting to get hacked by this point), and still can not get my computer to connect to media share (yes, I enabled the 360 in WMP as well). The X Box 360 recognizes the PC (as in my PC name shows up my tv screen in 360 menu) but it just wont connect for some bizarre reason. I have gotten to the end of both help scripts by Microsoft and Linksys, which I mean both guys on the phone didnt have any answers or any suggestions other than to call the other company for help. If anyone has any suggestions whatsoever, PLEASE, I beg of you!

Found something that worked
I've got a 3rd party firewall running, disabling it didn't give access to the xbox, but by adding access to a service, not port forwading, in it, I've now got access
I've just allowed all access to a the static IP adress I've set on my Xbox 360 and now it goes through.
I repeat, it's not port forwarding like almost everyone says, it's allowing access from that address to the computer, just be careful to set only the address of the Xbox, not all internet.
Hope it works for everyone

WRT1900AC & Xbox 360 Wireless Setup Help

Hello,
I recently just picked up the WRT1900AC and I have 2 Xbox 360's in the house, both of them are having trouble connecting to XBOX Live. I have opened up the following ports on the single port forwarding tab in the routers security settings.
Port 88 (UDP)
Port 3074 (UDP and TCP)
Port 53 (UDP and TCP)
Port 80 (TCP)
Port 500 (UDP)
Port 3544 (UDP)
Port 4500 (UDP)
So when i do this, it seems to work, but i lose all wirless connectivity on my computer (which is also connected wirelessly). Removing port 53, seems to resolve the issue, but any game updates on the xbox 360 are slow. I'am currently using firmware current Version 1.1.8.164461.
Can someone please guide me into properly setting this up so that it works correctly.

I'll Give this a try when i get home, im currently at work.
