Opening NAT for xbox 360 live....

[X_Jado_X]

I'm not sure how to do this, I have a wireless connection, and the 360 is connected to a DI-524 Router. How do I acess the web interface? I have tried Portforward:
Ok, it says Open a web browser like internet explorer or Netscape. Enter the ip address of your router in the address bar of your browser. In the picture above the address bar has http://www.google.com in it. Just replace all of that with the ip address of your router. By default the ip address should be set to 192.168.0.1.

But 192.168.0.1 opens nothing

What model router is it? If you don't know 100% sure what it is, you can find the IP address of it by going to Start > Run > Type "cmd" (w/o the quotes) > then type in "ipconfig/all" (again, no quotes) > and then look for the Default Gateway. That will be the IP address of the router.

Some are 192.168.0.1, 192.168.10.1, or 192.168.1.1. < Those are the most popular ones.

Ok, this is what I got: (I want to get into the ROUTER web interface, 10.1.1.5 opens my MODEM interface)

BTW, NONE of 192.168.0.1, 192.168.10.1, or 192.168.1.1 work.

The modem is connected to this computer, the router connected to that, the router gives signals to a laptop and to my 360's wireless connection, if that's of any help.

Ok, so let me get this straight, you have the D-Link modem plugged into your computer, and then you have the router plugged into your computer also?

The modem supplies my computer with inet access, and the router is connected to the modem, via Ethernet.

The modem supplies my computer with inet access, and the router is connected to the modem, via Ethernet.

The only reason I ask, is it sounds like that you have both the modem and router plugged into your computer?

Or, do you have the modem plugged into the router, which in turn is plugged into the computer?

Also, I don't have a static IP set, because I don't know how to do it properly.

Have you tried turning everything off, then restarting the network?
Start the modem first, then the router, then your devices PC/xbox or whatever. You shouldn't have any issues with DHCP or xbox live with a nat'd router. If you are hosting games, you will need to setup the xbox on the DMZ or use portforwarding, no need for static IP's unless you are running a marathon gaming session, dynamic IP's usually last for several days. The DMZ and Port forwarding are a bit risky for the rest of the network

you'l need to open your router's settings...


*to acsess you router open internet explore and instad of typ'in
"iamnotageek.com" type "10.1.1.2"

it SHOULD open a page that you can log into

*defalut password is admin for 90% of routers....


find out that routers defalt range for DHCP (like 192.168.2.1 - 192.1682.100)

(for you it may be 10.1.1.2 - 10.1.1.100)



set your 360 to a higher IP in that range



in your router make sure you set lease time to never expire



NAT is also called virtual DMZ
or virtual sever =-P

make sure you set it to what ever you 360' static is...

Just stick to the basic def of the acronym, Network Address Translation, and since your modem's using 10.*.*.* addresses what shooter suggested will result in opening your modem status page, if it doesn't work with 192... you can find the address via Gizmo's suggestion of viewing your PC's default gateway via the IP in this post IF you connected the PC to the router ~wired via ETHERNET 1-4...? if the 192 does not open the router's config page, then you will find the routers gateway via gizmo's suggestion, even without configuring port forwarding or dmz you should still be able to connect out to xbox live.
