PC + Mac + xbox live help

Hey all, I'm going to be getting a mac mini for xmas and I'm not sure of the best way to network my internet connection. At the moment I have orange broadband unlimited and this is connected to my pc via a phone line > thomson usb modem and a usb port on my comp. The only network card on the comp is then directly connected to my xbox 360 via cat5e cable. Now when I get the mac I'd like to share this internet connection with all 3 (using the pc as the computer where I dail the connection off). The mac is wireless and supports 802.11g network, I would prefer to set the mac up in my bedroom with a seperate monitor etc and run it wirelssly, but I'd also like to keep the xbox directly connected to the pc via the network card (as I don't have to buy the wireless kit for the 360 and its running A1 as it is). So is there any sort of router out there that can do this or even better would some sort of usb router, or if not what sort of wired router can do this?
Any help appreciatted [:D]

You might want to consider trading in your USB modem for a wireless gateway. For example, the Linksys WAG200G Gateway. With a device like this, you can connect your PC & Xbox via wire and the Mac wirelessly.

Bridging mac mini to xbox 360 to use xbox live...HELP!

i've done this once before with a previous router i was just trying out and it worked great. however, i purchased a wireless router and cant get it to work again. i've found all the instructions that the internet has to offer when it comes to using your mac as a bridge to get on xbox live...the fact that i've done it successfully hopefully shows that. my problem now comes in the DNS stage...it always fails.
i think the problem is this...in the termminal when i type in ifconfig en0...the inep i get is 192.768.2.1...but when i check to see what my router IP is...it's the same. is this what is causing my problem and not letting me get on xbox live?
when i go to my xbox settings...under IP i know its working because on the xbox live test it passes every time...and just fails at DNS which is where i'm supposed to put my router IP which happens to be the same as my normal IP.
is this the problem?
i called my ISP and they said there's nothing they can do about it...they cant change my router IP. i hope you guys can help. i really want to get on without having to spend 50*100 bucks. thanks.

okay...here's my complete set up. i have my mac mini which is connected to my belkin wireless connection which is upstairs. the belkin router is plugged into my cable modem (road runner if that matters). i pick up a full signal on my mini. from my xbox360 to my mac mini, i have an ethernet cable connected.
when i type in ifconfig en0 in the terminal, the "inet" i get is 192.68.2.1. this is to be used in the IP section of connecting to xbox live as i understand. actually, each time i try to connect, it passes all of the IP tests.
the problem comes with the DNS. from what i understand, what i'm supposed to put in the DNS section of my xbox live is the number i get when i type in DIG in the terminal and then scroll down to where it says server. the number i get there is also 192.168.2.1.
i type that into the dns and it does not work.
my firewall is off...my sharing is on. i'm not sure what to do.
to make sure that my xbox is working, i plugged in my dell laptop and bridged the connections and it worked great. but i need it to work with my mac...at least i want it to. thanks.

Need Help Blocking Xbox Live Ports on ES4200

Can someone instruct me on best method for blocking access to Xbox Live on my ES4200? I want to prevent my niece/nephew from hogging bandwidth and/or limit/restrict their usage. Please advise.
Thank you,
Nicky

Hi Nicky, is your router E4200 or ES4200? If your Xbox is connected wirelessly, all you need to do is access the setup page of the router. Look for this page http://ui.linksys.com/files/E4200/1.0.00/Status_Lan.html and click the DHCP client table option.
You will find the MAC address of your Xbox on the list, just take note of it and go this tab on the page http://ui.linksys.com/files/E4200/1.0.00/Wireless_MAC1.html. Once you're there, enable the Wireless Mac Filter and select the option Prevent. Input the Mac address of the Xbox on the list and make sure to save the settings. Hope this will help you. Update us!

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.

Need help with hooking up XBox live on my router

I am trying to hook up my xbox 360 live and it doesn't seem to want to work.
I have a laptop set up to my router and now I am trying to get the xboxx live to set up and it is saying it isn't connected.
How do I go about doing that with this router?
I can not find any directions online or in the book I received with my router.
Model #WRT54G
The first port I left empty thinking the xbox would use that one and the second one I have my computer in it for my wireless.
What do I go and how do I go about hooking xbox live up with this?
Thanks
This is the message I sent to tech support (which was on my router box) but seems to be no email tech support anymore.

I am also facing the same issue ....... i found this link ..... it should help you also .....

Xbox live nat help

Hello all i need help trying to figure out a nat problem that i am having. I start out with a open nat on xbox live when i run the test but after running the test several times my nat will change from open nat to modrate nat for what reason i do not know but i need help trying to figure out how to fix this problem i am useing a wrt160nv2 router thanks.

NAT issues are quite common in this type of setup. Check out this article from the Xbox forum: Strict or moderate NAT type. You will need to adjust some settings on the router to resolve the NAT error on Xbox Live. Enabling UPnP and port forwarding should do the trick. You can refer to the following article for more information about these workarounds: Resolving NAT type issues with gaming consoles through a Linksys router.

Trying to connect to xbox live using my home network, I need help.

I have a xbox 360 that I want to connect to xbox live with, using my home network. Every time I try to connect to xbox live the only part that fails is the connecting to xbox live part. This is how my network is set up. I have Cox Cable as my ISP, a Linksys WCG200 gateway(v2), and WRT54GS(v7). The cable wire is connected to the WCG200 gateway, then an Ethernet cable connects the gateway to the WRT54GS router, and finally an Ethernet cable connects the router to my xbox 360. I have contacted Cox, Linksys, and Microsoft about the situation and they all say the problem is the version of the router. Someone told me that I may just need to change the firmware, but I don't know how to do that. If anyone could tell me what the problem is and hopefully how to fix it, it would be much appreciated.

u might to open port numbers 88 and 234 on your router
here's how to open ports
1: open IE and on the address bar, type in 192.168.1.1 and hit enter
           USERNAME: ( leave it blank )
           PASSWORD: admin ( all in lowercases )
2: click on the tab " applications and gaming "  then click on the SUBTAB port triggering.
3: you can just name the application like, box or whatever and fill in 88 for each of the boxes in the first line
4: same goes to application number 2 but you have to put 2304 for each of the boxes and pls do not forget to enable it, then save settings
5: Teset the xbox if it's now working.
6: if still not working, go to the SECURITY tab and uncheck the bock that says, " block anonymous internet requests and save settings.
7: teset xboox agan and if it still won't work
8: go to the SET UP tab and look for MTU.
9: set it to manual and lower down the size by 10.( by default, it's 1500. )→ save settings.
          Hope it will help. goodluck!

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.

Problems With Xbox live "conection Interupted" HELP

I have a Xbox 360, and have just recently got internet. Its cable internet from comcast, im using a RCA modem, and a Linksys WRT16010 V3 router. Hooked into my router(wired) i have my bluray player, and my Xbox 360; while my computer uses it wirelessly. The problem is whille on Xbox live, playing CODWAW the screen will "jump" and then flash "connection interupted" then kick me off!!! When i set up my xbox i just used the prompts it gave me on the screen. I have tried exchanging the router, called the internet provider and it tested fine. This will happen any time of day even when my computer or bluray player is not on. Is there something i should set up with the router, or my xbox?? please help, for this is very frustrating.

To make your XBOX work perfectly fine with your Router, you need to make certain changes on your router. Follow the settings below :
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
On the set-up tab change the MTU Size to 1365 and click Save Settings...
Click on "Administration" tab and disable the option UPnP and click Save Settings...
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...
2) Once you return to the set up page click on the Security tab and uncheck Block Anonymous Internet Requests and click on Save Settings...
3)Click on the Status tab and take note of DNS1 and DNS2 Addresses...
4) Goto the XBox Network Settings and IP Address Settings and select manual IP Settings and assign the following on your Xbox , IP Address :- 192.168.1.20, Subnet Mask :- 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway :- 192.168.1.1...
5) Also assign the DNS Addresses on the Xbox , Use DNS1 and DNS2 Addresses you took note off of the router status tab as Primary DNS & Secondary DNS for the xbox...
6) Turn off your modem, router, and Xbox...Wait for a minute...
7) Plug the modem power first, wait for another minute and plug the router power cable, wait another minute and turn on the Xbox and test it...it will connect...
Now re-connect your XBOX to your Wireless Network again and i think it should work perfectly fine.

E3200 Opening NAT settings for Xbox 360/Live help

Hello everyone, I have just purchased a E3200 today and my nat type is strict on Xbox live, that's what it says when I'm in the lobby in Modern Warfare 3. How do I get a Open NAT type? Any help please? THANKS!

This is a volunteer forum, not a 24/7 hotline. Who's your ISP and what is the model number of your internet modem?
I don't work for Cisco. I'm just here to help.

Help please, when I use my Macbook Pro internet it crashes our XBox Live

When I use the internet at all on my Macbook Pro, wireless, it crashes the games my DF is playing on xbox live through the the same router but with the ethernet. It doesn't do this with his laptop PC. Any ideas?

Most routers have the option to list DHCP devices connected to them ... often you just use your browser and point to http://192.168.1.1 and you'll get it's home page.
And, the Mac's IP number will be showing in System Preferences/Network/Advanced under the TCP/IP Tab, not sure where the XBox would show it's IP# though.

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 !!!
