wykikitoon 16539 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Well, I finally have got my internet running. So, goto connect my Xbox to Wireless network. Say its connected, Ive checked im connected to the correct SSID and have the correct WPA in but still cant connect to XBOX Live. Any ideas anyone?

Nyff 0 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Do you have the right ports open? Urmm....if not then it is probably something to do with your router rather than the Xbox. That's certainly been the case whenever I've had problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 16539 Posted January 14, 2010 Author Share Posted January 14, 2010 Ive connected via wired and that was fine. Ive checkled the SSID and the WPA and nothing, Ive even tried connecting to Live when Ive "connected" to my XBOX via an unsecured Router (i.e no WPA etc on) Confusing the fuck out of me.

Nyff 0 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I had a friend that had exactly the same problem. As soon as I opened the rights ports it worked perfectly over wireless. If the XBOX is saying it's connected then the router is, somehow, disallowing it a connection. Like right now I could log into my router and cancel all connections to and from my Laptop. The Laptop would still say I'm connected to the router, but the internet wouldn't work. It sounds like you're pretty clued up about all this stuff anyway, so sorry if I sound condescending. What router are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyff 0 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 On the Xbox, did you let it automatically put in the right settings or did you manually enter everything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyff 0 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 That is probably where the problem lies. Let me go and start up my Xbox and see what it asks for. Are you able to log into your router and check which IP your Xbox is using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyff 0 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Do you log into your router from your browser btw? Is there a number you type into your address bar to do so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Besty 4 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 In your browser, goto 192.168.1.1 Sign in, username should be admin and password should be password. Down the left, go to 'Port Forwarding/Port Triggering'. Click add custom service, when you're in there you need to add these ports (you'll have to keep clicking add custom service to add another): * TCP 80 * UDP 88 * TCP/UDP 3074 * TCP/UDP 53 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 13830 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 or slightly easier... Type the WPA password in CAPSLOCK if you haven't already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyff 0 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Set up the Xbox stuff manually. Set the ip to 192.168.1.5, the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 and the gateway to 192.168.1.1. There should be a place to put in another number under 'gateway', just put 192.168.1.1 again. That's if opening the ports doesn't solve it.

Nyff 0 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 There will definitely be the option to forward the ports somewhere or other! What is the exact name and model of your router? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 16539 Posted January 14, 2010 Author Share Posted January 14, 2010 Follow this guide: http://portforward.com/english/routers/por...ox_Live_360.htm I knew you were going to give me that link. HOWEVER I have a dynamic IP and not a static one, how do I use a static one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyff 0 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I don't think it should matter? By typing in 192.168.0.1 you are connecting to your router. If you set the XBOX to connect to 192.168.0.5, then it is still connecting to your router, which then connects to the internet using what IP you are assigned for that session (I think). Static/Dynamic IPs have always confused me, mind... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
