OK, the 360 is very easy to solve. a hell of alot easier than the PS3.
1st thing you guys need to do is set up a static IP on your xbox 360.
you will have to go into your network settings.
IP address - xxx.xxx.xxx.130 - same as your router address, but change the last 3 numbers to 130
subnet - 255.255.255.0
gateway - xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx - this is your router address.
primary DNS - 4.2.2.4
secondary DNS - 4.2.2.3
just enter in these numbers and they will work fine
now you have a static IP setup, you will need to forward your ports.
figure out your router address- linksys is 168.192.1.1 and so is netgear i think
enter in that number into your web browser address bar and it will bring up a login page
username : admin
password : admin
those are normally the default username & passwords. if you changed them and forgot, just reset your router.
now you need to go to
PortForward.com - Free Help Setting up Your Router or Firewall to get the specifics on your router and how to forward the ports.
on xbox 360, the ports you need to forward are as follows:
88 TCP
3074 UDP/TCP (both)
thats it, youre set up and good to go. youre NAT should be open.
if you cant figure out your router AFTER looking through portforward.com, then tell me your router and i will walk you through it.
PLEASE DONT PM ME. leave your info here and i will do my best to answer your questions. others may have the same problem that you are having, so they may find the info in this thread useful
