Router problem

[Yogi]

So, I'm having problems getting my NAT on the 360 to "open", which is ideal for it's gaming connections ro something. Any way I have no ****ing idea as to how to get this thing set up right.....someone wanna come help, please.

[David]

have you tried to google NAT & 360?

[Yogi]

Yes, and there is a thread about my specific router and the cure for it on teamxbox.com. BUT I am such a retard when it comes to trying to figure out what they are talking about I can't do anything.

Link? I can probably break it down for ya pretty easy..



btw.. i think my above wording and the wording in this post comes off in a smart ass kinda tone. It's in no way ment to be taken that way. I am trying to be helpful.

Post the model number of your router and the exact error message if you can, I'm sure either David or I can explain it to you...hell I can even remote access your compute and do it for you if it comes down to that lol

there is a 90% likelihood that you have to visit the following address

http://192.168.1.1

and type in username and password as "admin" and then open up a certain port range that the 360 uses to connect

That is assuming that you have a Linksys Best-Buy router that everybody has

[David]

Best buy recommends netgear for some gay reason.

[coop]

it comes already open ^

[David]

hrmmm... the one i bought i had to open each and every port. and even then was gay.

[Paul_N]

yeah fuk that **** linksys is the **** once you update the firm ware WOOT

[Yogi]

I can login into my Linksys router but from there I am fking lost, literally.

I know you were just trying to help David, but I have no problem admitting that I am a computer retard. It's tru I am not l337.

And yes it has something to do with opening a "port" and something else

I wont' be home until around 10. Send me a pm to remind me to look at this. I'll got linksys as well. I can take some screen shots to show you how :)

[Yogi]

Thanks cuz it is seriously pissing me off, I've spent the last 2 hours trying to figure this **** out. I'm about to just break the ****ing thing and go buy a new one

[spoonraker]

Where do you live? If you're pretty close to me I wouldn't mind coming by and getting it set up for you. I'm on 80th and Old Cheney.

Also do you have a link to the information about the problem that you're having trouble understanding?

[Paul_N]

40th an old cheney

[spoonraker]

You can call me at 402 429 0233 at 5 when I get off if you need help with it. Name = Paul

[Yogi]

Well after 8 hours of ****ing with the thing, a combo of differant so call solutions off of a couple differant forums, taco bell, camel lights, and pepsi I FINALLY got my NAT to say open.


Paul, thanks for the offer I was just about to give you a ring if the last thing didn't work but it did. Thanks though

[Paul_N]

which paul LOL
j/k

[spoonraker]

the good one :P

Was it just a problem with open ports?

[Paul_N]

the good one ROFL

two paul's that are good in computers LOL

[Yogi]

Well i think what happened is I forwared ports 88 and 3074 but forgot to set the MTU, so I put the xbox static ip in the DMZ and then changed the MTU and it worked.

[dave]

honestly, i have never heard of anyone changing their mtu's

[Yogi]

All I know is it worked, the default set was 1500 and I changed it to 1365.

[dave]

i would put it back to 1500. that is the maximum transfer unit or transmission unit or whatever. lowering it down may impede other programs. i would leave it at default. putting your xbox's ip on dmz allows traffic on all ports. that was probably the fix. adjusting the mtu may have just been coincidence.

[dave]

or ask spencer. he programmed the internets and knows all about them.

I tried leaving the MTU at 1500 and it wouldn't work, but once I put it at 1365 it works fine. Also tested this with the xbox in and out of the DMZ.
