Re: Problems with Media Center and Xbox 360

The IP addresses are:

PC: 192.168.0.136
Xbox: 192.168.0.2

Thanks

I think Todd wants the IP addresses behind the router, the 192.168.xx.xx

Hey Todd

Is that my gateway address or actual IP address?

Not sure, but is it safe to give my IP address online? Not 100% on that
sort of stuff.

Thanks

Can you confirm what the IP addresses are for your PC and your Xbox 360?

Well I have a Netgear DG834G, so the modem/router is connected to the
pc.

I checked yesterday and the router has ticked act as a DHCP server.

The weird thing is, that connecting directly to the router via cable
works instantly but it always has problems connecting via wireless
settings. Its driving me up the wall.

Thanks for your suggestion Dana.

Good question...I guess it depends on the cabling. Your cable/dsl
modem
should connect to the WAN port on your router. All PCs (and the 360)
should
connect to the LAN ports (you may have 4 of them, depending on the
router).
That will force all the PCs & 360 to use the router for a DHCP
address.
You
may need to look at your router settings to make sure its set to be a
DHCP
server...

got ya, now how do I change that? thanks

Dana Cline - MVP wrote:
The 360's IP address is "the IP address that the router is picking
up",
meaning the address the router gets from your service provider? A
normal
IP
address behind a router might start with 192.168.xxx.xxx, which
means
all
PCs on that router will have some variation of 192.168. If it has
any
other
address, the 360 is going directly to the internet rather than thru
the
router.

Hi Chris

The IP address on the xbox is the IP address that the router is
picking
up. Is that what you mean?

I checked the router and it has use router as DHCP server ticked.

Not sure on the last line about the LAN network. Im ok with tech
but
not the best.

Check the IP address of the Xbox 360 and the PC. It sounds like
one
is
receiving a public IP, while the other is part of the Local Area
Network.
Are you using DHCP from the router? You may be connecting via
the
360
to
Xbox Live without being a part of the LAN and therefore seeing
the
LAN-connected PC.

I have never had any trouble with Xbox Live from the start. As
soon
as
I pugged the wireless adapter in, I was able to download
content
and
so
forth. So that is what is so frustrating, that I know it
works.

Elvis - double-checking: are you able to connect to Xbox Live
from
your
Xbox
360 when it's connected via wireless?

Todd,

No one has mentioned encryption...how does the 360 handle
wireless
access
with WEP 64- and 128-bit, WPA?

The fact that this works on wired but not wireless
suggests
that
either
your router or your wireless adapter is dropping necessary
traffic.
Couple additional questions:
- Do you have more than one router? (i.e. is your PC
plugged
into
router
A, which is then wired to router B?) This is important
because
the
PC
and Xbox need to be on the same subnet
- Are you using the Xbox wireless adapter or a third-party
wireless
adapter?

The above is the DvcConn file after I tried the
following:

1) Wired the xbox to my router, entered the 8 digit key
and
voila
it
worked instantly with no problems
2) I then disconnected the ethernet cable
3) I then plugged in the wireless adapter and tried to
add a
new
connection because the xbox wouldnt reconnect
4) It would not connect at all - pasted the DvcConn file
below
called
Wireless connection

Hope that helps. Let me know if I have missed anything
you
need
to
know.

Hi Guys,

I really need your help, this is my last
resort
to
finding a
solution.

I have tried everywhere to find a solution
to
my
problem
and am
at
breaking point with my pc.

I am trying to connect my 360 and pc and
they
dont
seem
to want
to talk
to each other apart from xbox live.

I have Netgear DG834G router, xbox
wireless
adapter
and
MCE
2005.

I have tried to port forward but to no
avail.
The
xbox
is
attached to
my router under attached devices which I
have
allowed.

Can anyone help me before I throw my pc
out
the
window?
Thanks
in
advance for any help.
