Xbox live. ip test fails. BEFW11S4

Im using the wirless network adapter by the way. Every time xbox runs the test the IP test fails. The weird thing is once I go back to the edit part, the IP stuff is filled in (except for the gateway IP). Should I do it manually instead? I've tried doing that but I don't know which IPs to put in since there are so many on the linksys setup pages. For me to get to the linksys setup page I type 192.168.1.1 I'm not sure if that makes a difference, but I honestly have no clue what to do now. The DHCP is enabled, but im not sure if i have to type in more things on that page. If anything needs to be edited on the linksys setup page tell me that too. Also, it's an 802.11b router (if that helps)

  • WRT54G (V6) Xbox 360 DNS Test Failed

    I am trying to get online with my xbox 360.  It is passing its IP address test, but failing the DNS test.  It actually passed the DNS test once, after several powercycles....but never again.
    Here are my specs:
    XBOX 360 connected eithernet to a Linksys WRT54G (V6) Firmware has been updated as of today.
    My ISP is AT&T/Yahoo DSL with a Speedstream 5100 modem provided by my ISP.
    My xbox is assigned a static IP of 192.168.1.7  (suggested by Linksys) and automatic for DNS
    Here are my router settings:
    Automatic Configuration - DHCP   MTU size - 1400  Local IP address: 192.168.1.1                                        Subnet Mask  255.255.255.0   DHCP Server is enabled  Starting IP  192.168.1.1
    Ports Forwarded :  UDP 88, UDP&TCP 3074  To the xbox static IP
    Fire Wall:  Block Anonymous Internet Requests  is NOT checked
    UpNP is disabled.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Yes...  If you have the Connection Type set to DHCP change it to PPPoE and enter your Username & Password.

  • 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 !!!

  • WRT54G ver 6, MTU test fails when trying to connect to Xbox360 live

    MTU test fails when trying to connect wirelessly to Xbox360 live.  Firmware is current.   I have a WRT54G version #6, Motorola Surfboard SB5101 Cable Modem, running AOL HighSpeed Broadband through Time Warner Cable.  Changing the MTU setting does not work.  I have tried several other suggestions found on these boards but nothing seems to work.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    hi twhale.... If you had already tried the settings i posted ... in such case you can do one thing .... access router setup page ... under Security ... uncheck block wan request ... click save settings .... Under Applications & Gaming tab ... click port range forwarding .... forward ports 88 & 3074 for the static Ip of the X-BOX ... click save settings . Click save settings ... check X-BOX live test ... if still shows the same error ... upgrade/reflash the firmware ...

    I have the WRT54G Version 6. I could not connect -- First I updated the firmware. Check the linksys site for your router under support to ensure you have the most up-to-date firmware. Still could not connect. Observed which IP it was assigning to the XBox then put this IP address into the DMZ. It has worked since. Might work, might not. I noticed you have the V3 router, so hope this helps in some way.

  • How do I change my NAT from "strict" so I can properly use Xbox LIVE?

    I am able to connect to Xbox LIVE, but the Xbox (360) reports my NAT as "strict", which means I don't have a good connection and can't even participate in some things like tournaments on Project Gotham Racing 3.
    I've spent hours researching this on the net. No luck yet, but here's what I've tried so far:
    One post (http://forums.xbox.com/8109385/PrintPost.aspx) said there are three ways to fix my problem: (1) Use UPnp (universal plug 'n' play, the equivalent of which on the Airport Express seems to be NAT Port Mapping Protocol), (2) Set up a DMZ (demilitarized zone, which is called a Default Host by the Airport Express), and (3) Port Mapping.
    First, turning on NAT Port Mapping Protocol doesn't have an effect on my Xbox-reported NAT rating of "strict".
    Second, I tried setting up a Default Host at 10.0.1.253 then assigning my Xbox an IP of 10.0.1.253. I assigned this IP only through the Xbox's network settings. It seems like I was supposed to assign the IP to the Xbox using the Airport Admin Utility, but if there's a way of doing so, I don't see it. Also within the Xbox's network settings, I set the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 and the gateway to 10.0.1.1 (my Airport Expres). When I tested the connection to Xbox LIVE, I failed at the DNS stage. So I manually set the DNS info to the primary and secondary DNS specified by my ISP (and shown in the Internet tab of Airport Admin Utility). I retested my connection to Xbox LIVE. Now I passed the DNS test but failed the next test, called MTU. I looked up how to set the MTU and did so according to these instructions from the Apple Support pages: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303192. I tried MTU values of 1400, 1500, 1362 (recommended minimum specified on Xbox), and 3000 but was unable to pass the MTU test on the Xbox.
    I tried port mapping as explained on the Microsoft Xbox forums (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/908874) and further explained here: http://www.jakeludington.com/xbox/20060103xbox_live_connectionproblems.html. I tried to do this with the Port Mapping tab in Airport Admin Utility, but I wasn't able to specify all of the information given in that last link, so I don't know if I did it right.
    Hours of work and no success, but this ought to be possible, right? Help?
    20" iMac 1.25GHz G4   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    I tried to do this with the Port Mapping tab in Airport Admin Utility, but I wasn't able to specify all of the information given in that last link, so I don't know if I did it right.
    As you already know, XBox Live requires three ports to communicate: UDP 88, UDP 3074, & TCP 3074. The AirPort Express Base Station doesn't distinguish between UDP & TCP for port mapping, so you will only need to map one port for the UDP/TCP 3074 values.
    Try the following...
    Port Mapping tab
    - Click "Add"
    - Public Port: 88
    - Private Address: 10.0.1.253
    - Private Port: 88
    - Click "Ok"
    - Click "Add"
    - Public Port: 3074
    - Private Address: 10.0.1.253
    - Private Port: 3074
    - Click "Ok"

  • 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.

  • Having Trouble Connecting To Xbox Live using my router and wireless adapter.

    Okay, so this is kinda long but I'll try and speed through. Recently I moved from my old place to a newer place (larger) and before, my old spot worked perfectly, no troubles. Now, eversince i got my internet cable service re-hooked up I've had problems. My internet is fine, that's not the problem. It's my xbox live for my 360. My cable guy pretty much set up my living room with the main router and not my studio office which I keep my 360 in. Instead he told me it would be much easier to just go out and buy a wireless adapter for my PC to recieve the signal from my living room off the main family computer. Well, went out and bought a $80.00 wireless adapter top of the line and it works perfectly, I get the internet really fast. Problem is, my 360 will not connect now. It always says DNS failed. Well here's the problem. I have a Linksys router in my studio office that sits on top of my PC that i have connected to the ethernet of my PC, then in the 2nd or 1st port i have my 360ethernet wire connected to my xbox360. Still it says DNS failed. Shouldn't my router be getting the signal from my Wireless adapter that it's receiving from the living room? It's connected through the same computer yet it doesnt connect. It finds my I address, and it finds the network adapter yet it always fails my DNS. I've tried evern switching the xbox360 ethernet to the main ethernet port on my pc and that just makes me fail the IP address test. I need help guys. My wireless adapter for the pc is a Belkin but my router is a linksys and not sure if the 360 just doesnt recognize it or not. Is there settings I'm missing or something? Please help!!!
    The Burninator...

    On your 360 if u getting an error msg DNS failed,you can login to your router setup page and go to status tab, not the Static DNS1 and DNS2 numbers and u can give a static dns to your 360. its will resolve ur issue.

  • 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.

  • 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?
    -Nate

    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?

  • WRT310N and XBOX Live

    I recently installed a new wireless WRT310N. I have one computer hard wired to the router (Time Warner-Roadrunner) and 2 that are wireless, all working  with no problems. My son cannot connect his XBOX "live". We keep getting a message "IP address failed."
    The people at XBOX are telling me that the 310N is "too advanced" at this point and they can't support it. They say I could connect by using an ethernet cable from the router to the XBOX but since these are in different rooms of my home, it isn't feasible without running a lot of cable. Has anyone else experienced this and does it make sense that the 310N is "too advanced" to work on a wirelss connection with XBOX?

    Try this settings on wireless router ....
    Please click on the tab "Application and gaming" and click on sub
    tab "Port range forwarding"
    1) On the first line in Application box type in "Xbox", in start box
    type in 88, in end box type in 88, in protocol keep it both, in ip
    address type in 192.168.1.20 and give a check mark on enable box.
    2)   On the second line in Application box type in "Xbox", in start box
    type in 3074, in end box type in 3074, in protocol keep it both, in ip
    address type in 192.168.1.20 and give a check mark on enable box.
    3) Now save the settings
    4) Once you return to the setup page, click on the tab "Administration"
    and disable the UPNP and save the settings.
    5) Now assign the given ip address on your xbox
       ip address :- 192.168.1.20
       subnet mask :- 255.255.255.0
       default gateway :- 192.168.1.1
    Please assign the dns address on the xbox
      primary dns :- 4.2.2.2
      secondary dns :- 192.168.1.1
    6) Please try to test your xbox live.

  • Can't connect to xbox live

    I properly installed my WRT54G wireless router and have my internet working fine on my computer. All the proper lights are working on the router as well.  I am having difficulty connecting to xbox live.  I am using the xbox wireless adapter also.  My xbox recognizes the network and has 4 green bars so the connection is good.  It is set up to infrastructure, and the security and SSID are correct.  When i try to test my connection, it says "Wireless Network Not Connected".  Apparently my xbox notices the network but I cant get them connected.  Someone please help, I greatly appreciate it.  Merry Christmas!

    I just did the exact same thing and got the same message. When I did the test the first time, under the WPA key, I typed in Personal. When I ran the test, I got the same message as you. then I typed in the Encryption Key letters and numbers instead(it's a 22 digit code) of Personal, and the test ran fine until I got down to X Box Live-it said FAILED. This is now where I am stuck.

  • Using a Mac laptop and Airport to get on to Xbox Live

    There are numerous threads floating about on this though most didn’t seem to work for me however I have managed to get this working and thought it may be useful to share my technique.
    FYI I am using an early 2008 MBP 2.4 running OS X 10.5.2
    1. Connect your laptop using an Ethernet cable to your Xbox 360.
    2. Open System Preferences -> Sharing and enable Internet Sharing; ensure that you select Share Your Connection from Airport using Ethernet.
    3. Now select System Preferences -> Network -> Airport and click on Advanced. Select DNS and copy down the two DNS Server numbers there. (Other guides suggest that when you enter the DNS number on your Xbox that you use your IP Address however this didn’t work for me.)
    4. Open Terminal and type in “ifconfig en0” Copy down your inet number.
    5. Switch on your Xbox and navigate to the Network settings menu -> Edit Settings.
    6. Manually enter the following data into the fields:
    a. Under the IP address enter your inet number but increase the final digit by one. I.E. if your inet number was 192.168.2.1 change this to 192.168.2.2
    b. Under Subnet Mask enter 255.255.255.0
    c. Under Router/Gateway enter the inet number as it was initially. I.E. 192.168.2.1
    d. Once you’ve entered these numbers select done, a window will pop up and ask if you want to test these settings. Select Test Xbox Live. A second window will require your permission to sign out, select Yes and run the test.
    e. Move onto the DNS settings and manually enter the Primary and Secondary DNS Server numbers which you got earlier.
    f. Follow the instructions as in step d.
    g. You should now be able to connect to Xbox live.
    I hope you can follow my instructions and if used, I hope it works for you too.

    Move or copy the iTunes library from the old computer to the new computer.
    iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.

  • Been complaining about lag on xbox live for a year and Verizon is now ignoring me.

    For the past year and a half I have been complaining to verizon about the horrible xbox live service I am getting. They keep telling me there is nothing wrong. I have tried four different routers(verizon and non-verizon with updated firmwares), tried both coax and ethernet, switched every ethernet line twice, played on a 5 foot cable in my garage, had my ont switched, and my fiber re-spliced. Verizon claims nothing is wrong and have tried to get me to stop complaining by telling me "fios is too fast for xbox because games are designed for high latency connections and because fios has no latency slower connections can't keep up so it feels laggy." I posted that response on a xbox gaming forum and promptly had 10 people tell me FIOS runs great on their xbox. 
    So obviously the problem lies beyond my network and verizon is doing nothing to fix it. I have had a technician come out at least six times and all they run is a speed test. I am getting the speed I am provisioned at but ALL my xbox live games are unplayable online. I believe the problem lies in the first public hop outside because when I run a line quality test,(https://secure.dslreports.com/pingtest) I get an error that says  "50ms or more latency between your ip address and your first public internet hop could certainly be bettered with a quality connection"
    Just to be sure it wasn't unique my house I walked around my neighborhood and found 2 open wifi networks that were on FIOS and ran the same test. Both of them came back with the same error as me and both had the same first hop as me. To make sure that error wasn't normal for FIOS users I asked those poeple on the xbox live forum to run the test and tell me the results. Every single one of them passed the first hop test and had nearly half the latency, (Here are a few of them) I supplied this information and now they are ignoring me.
    Is there any mod or technician here that can provide me with contact information for someone who will look into and fix this problem for me? I believe I have provided significant proof that this problem is not in my network and calling an 800 number and opening a ticket does not help. I have been complaining for a year and a half and nothing has been done. I have lost practically all my xbox live friends because of this and would like to be able to play now that I have more free time. A phone number or email would be great. BTW I am in orange county, CA if that helps.

  • How to connect to Xbox Live with the Actiontek GT704-WGB wireless router

    If the title got you here, then you are probably a Verizon DSL customer who is trying to connect your Xbox to Xbox Live with the Actiontek GT704-WGB wireless router and are getting nothing but errors saying, "your NAT is set too high", or, "Your MTU setting is too low", etc.  Well, after many calls to Xbox support, Actiontek support, and Verizon support, I finally came up with the solution myself.
    All that is needed is a little techie know-how about router settings and you'll do just fine!  However, if you are uncomfortable with doing it yourself (and it is really really easy to do!) then you can call Verizon support and have a tech support rep remotely conntect to your PC and make the changes for you: however, you have to speak with someone in advanced tech support and to do that you have to agree to a 1 year support contract to the tune of $14.95 per month in order for them to do it!  Scam???  You be the judge!
    So, here are the steps to take to get it working and by the way, YOU CAN NOT GET THE XBOX TO CONNECT TO THIS ROUTER WIRELESSLY!!  YOU MUST CONNECT YOUR XBOX TO THE ROUTER WITH AN ETHERNET CABLE IN ORDER FOR THIS TO WORK!!!  If you don't heed this warning, you will unfortunatly go through all the steps below, only to find that you get the same errors but, ethernet is faster than wireless so it's better!....right?.....right?   (hears crickets chirping)....right?  Oh well, I tried!  Also, you must have your Xbox on in order to change the router settings (which you'll see why later) Anyway, here's the steps:
    1) On your PC, open a browser window and type in the address bar:  192.168.1.1 and press enter.
    2) You will then see the interface on which you will make changes to the router's settings.  If at any time you are prompted for a username and password (which should happen right after you press enter) the defaults are: username: admin password: password.  If you have changed these, enter what you changed them to.
    3)Click on the icon on the top labelled "Advanced Setup"
    4)In the left section, click "WAN IP Address"
    5)At the warning screen, click "yes"
    6)Scroll down until you see "MTU setting" and enter 1370.  NOTElease don't be tempted to either enter 1500 or leaving it at 1500 (which is the default) because you might know that 1500 is the maximum at which this can be set which is TOO HIGH AND WILL NOT WORK!  Trust me and enter 1370 and then click on "apply"
    7)Click on the top icon labelled "Security"
    8)In the left column, click on "applications".  This is where we are going to open the 3 ports that Xbox Live uses to communicate with your Xbox.
    9)In the drop down box labelled "PC Name" select "Xbox 360". This is why you had to have your console on and connected cuz if you didn't, it would not show up on the drop down list!
    10)Under "category" click on the bubble next to "user"
    11)Click on "New" which is one of the blue buttons near the bottom.
    12)As for the rule name, I entered "Xbox" but you can put whatever you want but I'd use that so you know it's the ports you opened for the console.
    13)For protocol, select TCP. (Yes you will also open the same ports for UDP but for some reason if you select TCP.UDP instead of doing them seperatly it doesn't work.....I dunno why!?
    14)For all 3 "Port start", "Port End", and "Port Map Start" put the # 80.
    15)Click "apply"
    16)Now, select UDP and put the same port # 80 and again click "apply"
    17)Repeat steps 13 through 16 except with the numbers 3074 and 53, clicking apply after each one.  What you should have now on the bottom are a list of all the ports you opened, one TCP and one UDP for each number totalling 6 entries.
    18)Click "back" to return to the Applications screen.
    19)If you have to, select Xbox 360 for PC name, and click the bubble next to "user" and you'll now see the entry called "Xbox" or whatever you called it.
    20)Click that entry to highlight it and then click the blue "add" button to the left and then click "apply" at the bottom.
    21)Close the browser screen and turn off your PC and Xbox and any other hardware connected to the router.
    22)Turn the router off and unplug it and wait about 5 minutes.  It can take this long for any residual current in the router to dissapate and for the NAT table to clear itself.
    23)Turn on the router and wait for the internet light to come on green meaning the router has booted and has an internet connection.
    24)Turn on the Xbox AND ONLY THE XBOX!
    25)There is no need to go into network setting as when the Xbox is connected by ethernet, it automatically configures and connects intself.  You can, however go into network settings and perform a connection test but this to is not necessary.
    You now should be able to connect to Xbox Live!  If not, you've done something wrong and must either go through all the steps again or let Verizon do it for you (for a fee that is).

    I followed jtktlw's instructions to the letter.  Problem was I had already enabled UPnP before doing so.  Afterward I disabled UPnP and rebooted....no change.  I reset the MTU to 1500...boom, it works.  Seems for me all I needed was to open the right ports to get it to work.
