Xbox Live Port Setttings

I have a wireless network set-up in my home which allows me to connect with my ibook or my xbox 360.
In the past i've always had a firewall activated & gamed no probs but recently when trying to speak to friends, or accept game invites from them on live, I keep getting kicked off!! I can join a player or ranked match no probs but when i try to play or speak with my friends - NO JOY!!
I've heard that I have to enable certain ports which will allow me to play without compromising my security but I don't have a clue where to start!
Has anybody else had probs like this? Or does anyone know what ports I need to enable?
My old provider was via cable (ntl) but i recently switched to a standard phone line (bt), if this makes a difference?
This prob seem intermitent as sometimes everythings fine & then the rest of the time it's 'as above' !!
The only service I already have enable is FTP Access as this seems to help with downloading via bittorrent.
PLEASE HELP?! CHEERS.....
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Xbox and xbox 360 uses 3 ports they are as follows: #1=UDP88 #2=UDP3074 #3=TCP3074. that is the port setting for the xbox and xbox 360. Be sure the MTU is set for 1365 and if you are using Xbox 360 wireless change the channel to9 and 11 . Make sure the becond interval is 50 and reduce the RTS and Fragmentation Threhold by fourty each.

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!

WRT610N, Xbox Live, Moderen Warfare 2 and nothing but trouble !!

I have been having problems over the last few months with constant drop outs on Xbox live and now specifically MW2. I have tried every option I can think of in the settings (Xbox and Linksys WRT610N) but no luck. I thought I would share my story in hope that either I might be able to help someone with what I have learned so far or get lucky that someone might offer up a solution that I have not been able to work out yet.
Let the story begin ......
Issue: Can connect to Xbox Live but will drop me out of the middle of games (Halo, Live Arcade, etc), and especially MW2 only to bring me back into the same game with my score set back to 0 each time. This happens on every game and every mode. If I am the host of a game then it will boot everyone else out half way through the game, bring up a message that enimies are about to forfeit and then finally rejoin everyone with their scores all set back to 0.
Back Story:
Have tried 3 different routers (this one being the latest) the other was a top of the line Belkin and older Linksys model
Have power cycled and reset and restored factory defaults on all many times.
Have changed out the actual ethanet cables as well.....No luck
Have 2 Xbox's in the House and both produce the same results.
My Current Settings:10N
Product = WRT610N
ISP = Bellsouth
Xbox360 = Hardwired
NAT = Open
PPPoE
IP and DNS are both Manual........
Entered in matching DNS1 & DNS2 into Xbox settings
IP = Manual and sits with DMZ enabled and assigned the Xbox a manual IP address outside Router IP range at .200
Port Forwarding on for 88 & 53 Both (Tried UDP Only) ....53 & 3074 Both
MTU = 1452
Even added in specific Xbox Mac address into the Router page...no luck
Upnp: = Disabled......Tried it enabled as well
Went into QoS in the Application and Gaming section of the Router to try and priortize all the Xbox Live and MW2 advanced ports above and below.
Read on a forum post to try unchecking Filter Anonymous Internet Requests in the Security tab settings....no luck
Called Xbox Live support..............Went to 2nd level tech twice.
They said IW/Activision had given them specific port settings for MW2 that I could try. My intial thought was Houston we might have lift off:....Tried opening additional Ports based of 2nd Level Support:
3658 = UDP
3478 = UDP
3075 = UDP
443 = TCP
5223 =TCP
Unfortunately no luck !
Next I tried reading another million posts and forums to no avail.
Help please, please please

I finally got it to work 10 min ago !!!!!!!
Here is the issue so if others incounter the same problem you will have some potential options to explore.
Having 2 Xboxes going through the Linksys Router to Xbox live is the issue. This is what you need to do in your settings.
Make both Xbox IP's Automatic
DO NOT USE Port Forwarding.............You must enter these in Port Range Triggering:
Xbox Live port settings 80, 88, 53 & 3074
Same for Modern Warfare 2 ports = 3658, 3478, 3075 & 443
On the setup page enable Keep Alive: Redial Period = 180
MTU = 1364
Disable Home Network Defender
Enable Upnp
Disable DMZ
QoS = Enable Internet Access Priority and Add in the ports above and set to High
Add in the Mac addresses of the two Xboxes (you can find these in the advance network settings of you Xbox)
Hope this helps as I have been researching this fix for 2 months and spent 20+hours playing with settings to finally get this to work

BT Broadband, Xbox Live, Destiny Problems

Hello everyone,
I have just had BT Broadband installed on Monday (22/09) and everyday since I am regularly disconnected from Destiny on Xbox One.
I did not have this problem before with my old broadband provider (EE) and I can't seem to find anyone that works for BT to be able to help me (they blame Xbox Live).
Does anyone know the solution to this problem and why this only happens to Destiny?
I'm using a Home Hub 4, I did try to use my old router, but that doesn't seem to work now BT is installed.
Much appreciate any help!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The BT homehubs 5's and possibly homehubs 4's are not compatible with games made by activision.
Activision games on xbox one, ps3 and ps4 use demonware port mapping to open the required ports for the game via UPnP.
Problem is that these hubs are not compatible with demonware port mapping. Clearly BT were only interested in getting their hubs working on tablets and laptops. They didn't test the UPnP for gaming at all.
You will very likely have a moderate or strict NAT in Destiny even if the dashboard NAT says open. This is because activision games don't use the standard xbox live ports.
Destiny on xbox one seems to require port 1200. But because the UPnP on the hub is not compatibile with the demonware port mapping it's not getting opened.
You should try setting up port forwarding to forward port 1200 to the xbox one. You would also need to port forward if you want to play other games by activision as well. For instance COD ghosts would need port 3076.
If your disconnections are caused by NAT this should fix it. Although there may be some other compatility problem as well that I don't know about.
Personally I ditched the home hub because of this incompatibilty and bought a new router. I have consistantly open NATs now in the xbox dashboard as well as activision games. Disconnections in Destiny are rare for me.

Port Forwarding for Xbox Live

My eyes are burning from trolling the boards all day. Just picked up an AEBS (12:33 PM CST, 4/20/08), firmware's at 7.3.1, connected the ol' xbox and got a "moderate" on my NAT test. Thats fine, totally expected, no big deal, right? So here's what I do:
1. Assign static ip ads to all machines on the network (xbox is 10.0.1.3)
2. Check to see if NAT is enabled in airport utility: Yep.
3. Enter in the ports as usual:
Public UDP Port(s): 88,3074
Public TCP Port(s): 3074
Private IP Address: 10.0.1.3
Private UDP Port(s): 88,3074
Private TCP Port(s): 3074
The above, BTW, is exact as far as commas and spaces go.
4. Update!
Then, NAT test= Moderate.
OK, it'd be nice if there was a standardized way to forward ports on all routers, I think, no big deal, just need to do a little tinkering.
I put a space after the comma between 88 and 3074, i.e., instead of 88,3074 I did 88, 3074. Moderate. I tried putting a dash in there (88-3074) wouldn't even let me do that, but of course we all already knew that. Tried rearranging all the ports randomly (3074,88). Nope. Well, even though I just gave the machine a static ip address, might as well try a DHCP lease: enter Airport ID. Nothing. Try it again with Ethernet ID. Nothing. I've got an idea, I'll make multiple separate port mapping profiles:
xbox 1: Public UDP Port(s): 88...
xbox 2: Public UDP Port(s): 3074...etc.
NAT test= Moderate.
Hmm, Oh they make port forwarding management software? Lighthouse, eh? I'll try that...oh, it doesn't do anything: Moderate.
I tried a bunch of other things that I knew would be futile, but I've been working on this thing for a couple of hours now and I can't remember them...Oh and by the way, for those not familiar with xbox live: "Moderate"= not good.
I'll telepathically make you feel better if you can help me out.
Love ya,
Boo

Thanks for the prompt reply Duane. Just to clarify: I need another wireless router? I thought airport express was one. I was trying to configure the ports of the airport express's basestation. My connection system is:
-An ADSL 2mbps connection that comes into my home from a phone line and into a D-link GLB 802C modem
-This connects to an Airport Express
-My macbook pro uses the net through the wifi signal provided
-I connect the macbook pro to the xbox through an ethernet cable (mainly because it's far from the adsl router)
I have read that one can forward ports with airport express...

Port Forwarding - XBOX Live & PS3

Hello BT Forums!
I am having trouble with my BTHomeHub 3, XBOX 360 & PS3. In my household we have both consoles, and we play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 on both.
Now, with the BTHomeHub3 on the "port forwarding" menu I am only allowed to select one either "XBOX Live" OR "PlayStation 3" not both, it just brings up an error saying I can only select one and to change I have to remove the other.
I have my PlayStation 3 set with "PlayStation 3" port forwarding on the admin settings, but this puts the NAT settings on the XBOX to "Strict". Then if I take the port forwarding off the PlayStation 3 and set port forwarding for the XBOX it puts my PlayStation 3 NAT on "Strict". There is no winning!
Is there anyway I can select both, without having to resort to DMZ (makes my connection unstable).
Thanks!

Hi dlmatthews and welcome to the forum, i've had the same issue, you can't port forward to both, I just DMZ my PS3 and port forwarded to my another PS3 in the household.

Opening ports for my xbox live NAT type

I need help on how to open the ports needed to successfully pull my NAT setting from "strict" to "open" on XBox Live. Those of you here that have it, probably know what Im talking about.
The ports I need to open are the following:
UDP 88
UDP 3074
TCP 3074
Ive tried already, but it didnt work. I think I did something wrong.
Thanks

Hi AEX,
First thing you have to make sure is that, you have to assign a static ip address on XBOX like 192.168.1.10, with subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, and gateway 192.168.1.1
Now Forward the ports you have to this static ip address, which you assign to your XBOX
Also make sure you are running latest firmware on your linksys router. You can check from www.linksys.com/download , If it is not latest, download and update to latest version.

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 !!!

Question regarding WRT54G and XBOX LIVE

I'm having trouble with XBOX live and when I called support they told me I had to change the ports on my Linksys from moderate to open...does anyone know how to do this?

Here is a LINK that may help you. I have never set up a Xbox but a lot has been posted in here about it.

Setting up xbox live with an airport extreme

I need help getting our xbox live running - NAT reads strict - Microsoft gave 3 gaming ports - I know I need to put them in the Port Mapping of the extreme but don't know what "service" to call it and which lines to fill in ie. public or private to make the xbox work. I was given UDP88, UDP3074, TCP3074 by Microsoft. HELP please......

Xbox incompatible with 802.11n Airport Extreme

http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4020660&#4020660
"Yeah, the XBOX 360 won't recognize any network with security, but it will for my old wireless router. This is a significant problem for me."
"The wired connection definitely works though. So purchase away if your 360 is close enough for a wired connection until a fix comes our way. "
"Yes, the new Airport Extreme 802.11n currently only works with the Xbox 360 with security disabled and MAC addressing OR via a wired connection."

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"

Instagram, Facebook, Twitter photos not loading, Getting Kicked off xbox live, random drop outs.

Hi everyone, Here's an issue for you to solve. Im sure it can't be fixed, and I know multiple people that have this issue, and it is unnacceptable. Before I start, here is the router I am using: Telstra Gateway Max. Ok so heres the problem. I have an android phone, well two on my network and they both have the same issue. The iPhones and iPads seem to be OK. i don't have these issues on the computer either (Macbook Pro and Dell Inspiron). When I go onto instagram for example, all of the text loads just fine, but the images just sit on 0% and stay like that until it says unable to download. Facebook is usually ok, but sometimes has the same issue, and Twitter, same as instagram. This also happens on the Google Play Store when trying to download apps, and other random things. I have tried on the 2g and 5g networks and both same issue, but strangely enough, as soon as I connect to 3G/4G network, everything loads great. Why should I have to use my data when at home? Whats the point of paying $200+ a month for a service that doesn't even work! Also, with Xbox Live, this happens on the 360 and Xbox One. I have Two 360's on the network, one being wired (ethernet), the other on wifi. The xbox one is also connected to the same switch as the wired 360. Don't give me any of that garbage about buying a new switch, because this one works perfectly fine.
I have a moderate NAT type on some games, and sometimes I just get randomly disconnected. I have monitored the lights on the router, and they stay normal, some flashing, some solid. Basically, everything is normal. The other xbox's drop off at random times. The annoying thing is, when I connect to the Telstra Air network (off my router) everything loads fine on my phone, and I don't want to be forced to use that terrible 3mbit connection. Oh and while I'm at it, the telstra air app says I don't have a valid account, even though when I manually connect to telstra air through wifi settings on my laptop or phone, it works fine. Back to the xbox, I have forwarded all the ports needed (SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DO THAT), I have changed my firewall to low... Basically, Telstra, get your **bleep** together, and help me with my issues, or give me some pointers.

So someone else with Android devices on an entirely different network seems to have the same issues. This doesn't rule out the Android devices at all, in fact it suggests maybe there is more to it
The only way to make sure it's not the other switch introducing problems is to take it out of the equation. That means running direct connections to the modem. I realise it might be a pain in the rear end though. I user ethernet over power for one of xboxs.

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.

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.

Xbox live to macbook pro

I was wondering if there was any way i could connect my xbox to my macbook pro which is connected wirelessly to the internet trhoughg a router, and get xbox live to work. It says my IP ADRESS is failing.

Hi Richie!
Does your current router not have a built-in hub that you could plug your XBox into? You're essentially trying to connect your XBox to the Internet with two routers (your MacBook and your regular router) in between and this can certainly cause problems. But it's probably not impossible.
The only way to do this is to enable Internet Sharing in Apple menu --> System Preferences... --> Sharing --> Internet. Since your MacBook Pro only has one wireless and one Ethernet port each you'll have to share from one to the other. However, if you're using the Ethernet port for your Internet connection you'll have to use wireless on your XBox. Does it have wireless? A simple Ethernet hub will not work in this configuration.
The easiest and cleanest solution is to purchase a router with a built-in hub or a wireless router with a hub. They're relatively inexpensive (less than $50.00).
Hope this helps! bill
