You need to supply more information if you want help from anyone. Connection type? modem make and model? isp?

Hopefully you have a pc to setup the modem correctly.

Basically ring your Internet Service Provider ok, and tell them the situation, they'll give you an IP address (something like 192.168.1.1) and that'll bring you to your modem homepage where you can change settings. You'll need to find out ports that you need open for the games and xbox live and also enable UPnP.

But basically your ISP can sort all this for ya

The following ports must be available for Xbox Live to operate correctly:

• UDP 88
• UDP 3074
• TCP 3074

Im going to need more info about your system/setup if I am going to help you

What is the name and model of you router/modem?
Do you have a PC in your home that has access to the net through the Router/Modem?
If so when you turn on your computer is your internet automatically on?

If you have one of those Netopia routers/modems then you can just select an option that opens the required ports for a specific machine (in your case your Xbox)

this is easy enough to set up. If you want to try it yourself you should throw your modem make and model # into google and see if there is any info on how to open ports on it. Someone is bound to have tried it before, there will defo be info available

I have opened all of these ports on my PC and opened all through my IP address which Xbox told me to to use an IP address of 192.168.1.34. My network provider IP address is 192.168.1.1
I have signed off opening my ports in my network address with Xbox IP address 192.168.1.34.!! Do i need to open the same ports on the Xbox IP address???
I have also used a port forwarding site from the internet which has not been any help so far. My modum is a ZyXEL Prestige 600!! If you need any more info i am only to happy to give it....

Cheers Graham...........Jim

Thing that I always find helps is lower your router/modems inbuilt firewall. Stick it on low and away ya go.

Findulan

Zapp can you tell me how to do this??

Zapp Brannigan

I dunno about your modem but on mine when I go to the modem homepage there is a toolbar on the right, and one of the options is 'Firewall'. I just went in there and stuck it on low.

Findulan

I found out there is no firewall on my modem snd then tried switching off my firewall on my PC and it made no differance!!Thanks all the same Zapp it was worth a go!!
