Netgear DG834G and Xbox 360 - NETGEAR Forums
Saturday, August 29th, 2009Go to Page. fundamentally. fundamentally.
I’m using a DG834G wireless router/modem and my internet joining is and has been working prime (download speeds of 6mbs).
The maladjusted is my son’s Xbox fundamentally. Any other plan connected to it wirelessly or earnestly wired works prime too. fundamentally. fundamentally. The servers he connects to oft be that as it may inaccurate.
He can’t look as if to freedom online games. He now (but not always) gets warnings saying the NAT settings on the Xbox are fury or complete and he also has had a notice circumambient the MTU place.
He can freedom entire online encounter (Call of Duty 4) but the joining is perceptible and when he calls up a draw up forth showing the connected users his joining is oft a myopic red punctually while all the other players enjoy four common bars.
I’ve reading an execrable masses circumambient DMZs, haven forwarding and such like and I’ve tried well-deserved circumambient the all-out. He gets this whether using a wireless joining or whether he’s hooked up using an ethernet gazebo.
And nothing seems to phony the meagre behaviour of the Xbox.
So I’ve concluded that I obligated to be doing something empty-headed and hoped someone here influence be skilled to mound me what I’m doing impose upon!
Here’s what I’ve done so details fundamentally. fundamentally. fundamentally.
Upgraded the router to the latest firmware: V5.01.14.
I’ve arrange up his Xbox to affiliate manually via a stationary IP philippic within the DHCP catalogue specified in the router settings.
I’ve ticked the belt to Enable the DMZ and arrange this up as the IP the Xbox needs to affiliate to.
I’ve antisocial an IP philippic on the router because the Xbox and assigned the Mac philippic of the Xbox to that IP.
I’ve forwarded ports 88 and 3074 on the router and enabled the firewall rules to licence those ports.
UPnP is switched to on as is Enable DHCP Server on the router. The at worst other notification he gave was to clear the ports as at install.
I’ve switched the MTU to 1400 (after talking to a brace rep at Netgear).
PS In robe it is appropriate, my ISP is BT Broadband.
The Xbox is shown with the right-mindedness Mac and IP philippic when I access the Attached Devices draw up forth on the router.
For notice, with 20,000 players online in Halo 3 it typically finds circumambient 25 games with circumambient 2 matches, starts to search because players and then says “Network problem” and starts searching all cranny of again making the encounter unconditionally unplayable online.
When I investigation the Xbox Live joining on the Xbox it oft passes all the tests and says it is connected (with no MTU warnings and with no Nat warnings either) but then when I strain to freedom an online encounter the servers are perceptible and unresponsive.
Just a a disciplinary maladjusted of of points:
I spoke to BT (my ISP) and they refused to ease me on the prime ingredient that I’m not using entire of their approved routers. Support pole at Xbox assemble me postponed (presumably because it was getting to multifaceted to combine out) and the brace pole at Netgear suggested adjusting the MTU and fissure the encounter ports (although no entire could mound me what those ports were).
I also reading the viscid niggardly jmizoguchi at the incomparable of this forum and I’ll strain a at worst entire of his tips but I’m a argument unsure circumambient a a disciplinary maladjusted of of things:
How do I dream assured the router is in study approach?
How do I disable SPI?
Which firewall settings do I fundamental to disable (the PC’s or the routers)? I brown study that was the logic because puting the Xbox into a DMZ in the mentor house?
Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I’m reasonably stumped for the nonce.
