Xbox live connection to G5 ethernet 2

I recently hooked up my xbox360 to my G5 via etherent and I am unable to access xbox live. Xbox360 says that it cannon find an IP address. I have read all kinds of forums about how to connect a mac with a wireless adapter, but nothing about hooking them both up directly. My Sharing preferences are allowing Built-in ethernet 2 (where the xbox is connected) to share with Built-in etherent 1 (where the modem is connected). I don't get it, and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Mac OS X (10.4.8)

To get my xbox to share my eMac's I hooked my iBook up and used the settings from it.
They were:
ip address: 192.168.2.2
subnet: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 192.168.2.1
Primary DNS: 192.168.2.1
Alt DNS: 192.168.1.1
Hope this helps.

Using AEBSn Xbox live connects but not MCE Extender

I have a Dell PC running Win XP MCE 2005 SP2 connected via ethernet to the Airport Extreme Base Station (the new one with n) and I'm able to connect my Xbox 360 to Xbox Live via its wireless network card but I can't get the Media Center Extender to work!
Can anyone please help? How can I be connected to the network fine on both devices (even my macbook works great) but not get them to connect to each other?

When you are playing online game, most of your Bandwidth is consumed by Xbox. May because of this you are not able to access the net on your PC. What you could is, Disable the firewall on that PC, login to the setup page for this route and enable QoS on it, under “ Gaming and Application” Tab. And set higher priority for the IP address of your PC.

Express extending Extreme's Network, Xbox Live not connecting.

Hey Everyone!
I have an Airport Express (n version) extending my Airport Extreme's (n version) wifi successfully. My Xbox is connected to my Express via ethernet. My Xbox was able to successfully download a system update, but fails when attempting to update an Xbox Live update. I checked Microsoft's website to make sure Xbox Live was running properly, which it is. My network test on the Xbox tells me that it can connect to the Network, it can connect to the internet, but CANNOT connect to Xbox Live. My ip address does start with 10.0.x.xx, I'm wondering if that is part of the issue? I have never had any issue downloading things on the internet via my laptop. My other idea is that I haven't updated my Xbox in about 6 months, so maybe there's just a large amount of updates and it's receiving a bug of some sort? Can someone help me out here?

First, have you had an opportunity to try some of the connectivity troubleshooting options provided by Microsoft for Xbox LIVE? For example, either Xbox LIVE Connection Problems or Xbox LIVE Connection Solution (aka Connection Wizard)? If so, what was the exact error(s) that either were reporting?
Typically, when your console is able to access the Internet, but not to Xbox LIVE, the issue can be one of at least three things: 1) ICMP, 2) NAT, or 3) MTU errors. Were any of these reported when you ran the connectivity tests?

Upgraded to extreme and can no longer connect to xbox live

My old airport express died so yesterday I bought an airport extreme to replace it. I had no problems setting it up, my powerbook and powermac connect to the internet just fine. My ps3, wii, and apple tv all connect fine. However I lost the ability to connect to xbox live with my xbox360. Running the "Test Xbox Live Connection" test shows that it passes all the tests and is connected to the internet until it reaches the xbox live test where it fails. According to xbox support there are no current outages or problems with my account.
Since the only thing which has recently changed is the upgrade from airport express to an extreme it seems like that is likely the problem. I thought it might be a NAT or port thing but in the airport setup utility there are no options for changing either NAT or port settings.
Any ideas anyone? It looks like a year ago when the extreme came out there were problems between it and the xbox, but it also looks like they were resolved. Also they caused the xbox not to be able to connect to the network at all, which mine can do.
Thanks very much for any ideas or help. Otherwise the extreme is going to have to go back.

That's a drag.
I wish I could be more help, but I can not think of what the problem would be. I have mine connected to a network that bridges two AEBS to allow for a large area WIFI. I have no problems with either of the 360's connected. I have no special port forwarding or any settings changed to get the connection.
I also know that since I just replaced my main base station for an unrelated problem, that it worked out of the box both times.
I would say try direct connecting it. (the xbox) Not necessarily to correct the problem, but to isolate the AEBS as the problem. I would also try shutting down anything else that may be connecting so you only have a connection with your xbox. Again, none of this will probably solve your issue.... but you can get in contact with customer care or visit a genius bar.
In my experience if you can give detailed results to test you have already performed to trouble shoot, they are very receptive to replacing your product. Isolating the AEBS and saying you know t will connect direct, and that even when it is the only device connected.... it fails. I would also try both wireless and wired if you have both options.
I know it is not the optimal answer.... probably a pain.... but sometimes things just work kinda goofy. I know the stuff works and works great when it does... but I have had my share of issues with apple hardware. The good news is they have never failed me when it comes to taking care of it.
Good Luck !!!

Trying to change NAT connection from moderate NAT connection to an open NAT connection for XBOX LIVE

Hi, I have a Linksys Wireless-N Broadband Router/WRT160Nv2 and I have been trying to change my NAT connection from a moderate NAT connection to a open NAT connection for my Xbox Live on my Xbox 360. I can sign into my Xbox Live account but it is working on a moderate NAT connection. I have already enabled the UPnP and put in the proper port numbers. After doing that I signed into my Xbox Live on my Xbox 360 and tested my Xbox Live connection and still it says that I a moderate NAT connection. I do not know what elso to do and I would greatly appreciate step by step help from anybody who knows what they are doing. PLEASE HELP ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!!!
Thank you

A known issue with Linksys routers is the NAT Type 3 or anything related to dropping of Internet connectivity during play time. Network Address Translation (NAT) is the ability of a router or firewall to translate a public IP address to a private IP address and vice versa. It adds security to the network by keeping the private IP addresses hidden from the outside world.
Here is the link, which will you in resolving the concern: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=2902de6218ed4dc1a4c595595ca1f60a_Resolving_NAT_Typ...

Xbox Live issues - can anyone help

Hello - I am hoping someone can help me out with some Xbox Live connection issues that are driving me crazy. (Please bear in mind that I am a novice with these issues).
I am attempting to connect to XBox Live via the Xbox wireless adapter and the WRT54GS router. I have the router hardwired via ethernet port to a desktop computer. Here are the problems:
1. The connection is very weak and spotty, with frequent disconnects. I would say that I get a successful connection to Xbox live about half the time. The failure message seems to be different every time. At best, I get only one red bar on the Xbox Network Settings. Usually, I have to unplug and re-plug in the router to get online.
2. I tried to help the connection by buying a wireless range expander. However, when the range expander is plugged in, either I am unable to connect or it connects but I am unable to download any updates or content or marketplace runs very slowly. I assume there is some configuration problem with the expander, but I have no idea how to fix it.
3. Even when I am connected, if my wife turns on her laptop I get disconnected.
4. When I call Xbox support, they tell me it is a problem with the router. When I call Linksys they tell me it is a problem with Xbox Live.
Can anyone help? I have read a couple of posts about setting static IP addresses and opening ports, but I don't know how to do this. And would it even help?
Thank you!!!

hi... logon to router's setup page, open I.E. and in the address bar type 192.168.1.1 it would ask for username and password, put "admin" (default password) as a password, try changing channel to 11, go to advanced wireless settings reduce beacon interval to 50, fragmentation and RTS threshold to 2304, change Transmission rate to 54Mbps, also try upgrading latest firmware on the router, go to www.linksys.com/download and download the latest firmware for the router, logon router's setup page again and click on "administration" >> firmware upgrade and try upgrading latest firmware...
click on "application & gamings" tab...and try triggering 88, 3074 ports on the router for X-Box...reduce MTU to 1365 on the router.

Home Hub 3 (type A) compatibility with Xbox Live a...

Just got a new Bt Broadband activated a couple of days ago.
All set up nice, getitng a 8mb download speed which is good for our area.
2 laptops, 1 PC, and a wireless printer all set up using wifi. All good.
Even managed to get Xbox Live connected via wifi.
BUT - when updating any software or games on the XBOX, what used to take seconds is now taking hours!
I even tried my old Dlink router on the new BT Broadband, and it all works fine, but as soon as my Home Hub 3 (type A) is connected, the software updates to the xbox take an age.
All other connections seem fine.
Is it true that Home Hub 3 type 'B' is the best one for using with Xbox Live?
If anyone's had this exact same issue, and managed to solve it - please tell me how.
Thanks
Impster
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Seems to be the same.
The only thing worse (so far) is the BT customer services team. I spent over 3 hours on the phone with various people from BT yesterday. Only when I threatened to cancel the contract did anyone take me seriously.
I really wish I'd stayed with my previous broadband provider.
What I'd like to know is how to resolve this issue - preferably from someone who's had similar experience to mine. I'm not going to go through a troubleshooting process yet again. My HomeHub 3A is simply not compatible with connecting wirelessly with any significant speed to my xbox, nor to my android mobile phone.
I have run every possible check on our line and home network.
The only variable that causes this problem to re-emerge is the Home Hub 3 (type A) which I was sent 2 days ago.

XBOX Live and Time Capsule Configurations

I've been searching now for just about an hour online, and unfortunately my head is spinning just a bit trying to figure out how to configure my XBOX Live with Time Capsule. In order to allow for Open access (versus Moderate), it seems as though some manual configurations need to be made so the XBOX and Time Capsule play well together. But the thing I am unable to figure out is...HOW DO I DO THIS?! Specifically, what are the steps I must take to configure Airport and/or XBOX? What information do I need from the XBOX? I've been reading about port forwarding, which seems to be the solution, but I really am not familiar with how this is done on Time Capsule. So for those of you with the know-how and patience to write a play-by-play for dummies from the very beginning to the point where all should work, I'd appreciate it.
Just a quick insight to my network...I have Time Capsule connected to my ISP modem. Thank you!

And isn't the "host device" and "base station" the same thing?
No, host device is the box that is the server you are trying to map to.. base station is the Airport Extreme as he is writing more to that market.. TC is the same though.
Just port forward the standard ports for xbox live.. I do not believe all of these are necessary.
http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-live/connecting/network-ports-used-xbox-live
Xbox LIVE requires the following ports to be open:
Port 88 (UDP)
Port 3074 (UDP and TCP)
Port 53 (UDP and TCP)
Port 80 (TCP)
Make sure you lock the IP of the xbox .. using dhcp reservations in the TC is the best but on the xbox will also work.. the rest should be straight forward.
Tell us a bit more.. What model TC do you have? A1xxx from the base please??
What is the ISP modem? Is it also a router.. if so consider hard using the router in the modem.. if it is upnp so xbox can work automagically .. rather than killing yourself mapping ports.. the advantage of upnp is more than one xbox can work on the same LAN.. you can never do this manually forwarding ports.
What Airport utility are you running? Do you have access to v5 utility? If not I can give instructions to load it on Mountain Lion.
What firmware is the TC on? Lots of issues with 7.6.3 ie the latest one.. so 7.6.1 is better alternative. Always and in some earlier TC then 7.5.2 is much better again.

WRT150N vs XBOX Live

Please somebody help cause I'm getting hopeless here. Got my Xbox Live connection now for two years with no problems. Decided to buy a new router... got the WRT150N... and since then no connection whatsoever... really strange. Did all the tests but no luck so far. It keeps freezing up... It tells me who is online but that's all... For the rest all I see is this Xbox Logo trying to connect online. Somebody please help1??!!

Let me know if you are able to go online with the router or not?? if so did you tried to forward ports for X-BOX??

Firewall/Xbox Live

Hi there,
I haven't been able to find a solution to my problem so I thought I'd post here. I have Mac OS X Server 10.4.11 running my home network as a gateway. I've managed to get most things working that I needed through the firewall but Xbox Live is killing me. For some reason I keep getting the same "MTU test failed" every time I try testing the Xbox Live connection. I have been through probably 10 or more documents explaining all the required settings. I have forwarded ports according to Microsoft's web site as well as verified that I am in fact getting the required MTU throughput. Apparently this MTU error is also a generic catch-all error message so I thought I'd post here and see if anyone could make some suggestions.
Thanks for your help!

I just picked up a Xbox 360 over the holiday and also had issues getting it to coonect to Live through my Xserve(10.4.11 server)that I use as a gateway. When I opened the ports Live needed I also received MTU errors. Removing those port permissions caused the MTU issue to clear but then the Live login would fail. I attempted to run 'TheNATural' application but I still continued to fail at login.
After several days of trying different things I was finally able to connect to Live by doing the following. First in 'TheNATural', I set the Xbox's ip address in the space for a DMZ address. Then under Firewall in the Server Admin app, I selected 'allow all' for the 'any' ip address range. After doing this, my Xbox cleared the connection test.
Doing this isn't a final solution since this leaves your network wide open. I plan on working with this some more to see if I can lock down things more and still have a connection to Live. I would say just use my method if you want to test your connection.

Xbox live issues. (please help) :)

Hi there, I am having trouble with my xbox live connection, I can sign in to XBL but it does take a few minutes to sign me in, Also when I play games (I mainly always play FIFA) There is a slight lag when im in a match with someone, My players not responding when pressing buttons, Like when I shoot it will take a second or two to shoot which is not normal.
I previously had connection issues and had to have an engineer fix something in my line, Which seemingly has worked perfect for my laptop as everything seems fine, I can load webpages fine with no trouble and speedtester results are as expected. So it may be down to something to do with my XBOX, I use a wireless connection as it is upstairs, but I have tried wired and it is still slow.

I just had homefusion broadband installed, my xbox will connect to the internet, but I am getting a NAT error.

Trying to get my Xbox to connect.

My xbox live connection doesnt work. Im trying to access my wireless internet but everytime i do i get a test failed. The only way it seems to work is when i have a cord connected from the router to the actual xbox. Is there anyway i get get it to work with out it (WIRELESS). I have Att dsl and Cisco router. Thanks so much everyone in advance.

I also had trouble connecting with my XBox a few days.
Go to Administration / Factory Defaults and reset everything.
Reinstall the router and see if the Xbox connects.
What I noticed is that many tips on the Internet recommend creating an IP on the Xbox from 192.168.1.20 (or 30), make sure your router is configured to start from 100 (Start IP Address: 192.168.1.100)
Thanks,

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...

NAT Open? For Xbox Live? Where is NAT?

Yes, I recently have got Xbox Live with my Xbox 360, however some of my friends can't connect to me because it says my NAT is not "Open" it's "Limited"
I went in my router settings, and couldn't find anything that said NAT Open or NAT Limited, all i saw was NAT One - to - One.
Which i didn't understand so i didn't mess with it.
Linksy's didn't help either, they said they'd patch me through to another guy, an Hour and a half later i hung up.

If you are in the Xbox 360 dashboard, go to the rightmost tab (it's purple) and scroll down to "Network Settings." When you go there, one of the options will be to "Test Xbox Live Connection" (or something like that.) Run that test, and the current NAT status will show at the bottom.
The other router setting I have seen mentioned is setting Upnp to enabled.
(What kind of router are you using?)
