Here is the overall situation I have two Xbox 360’s one wired one wireless and I need the nat to be open for both so as you saw from my earlier D-link post it didn’t work.
This is the wireless router provided by Rogers SMC Gateway 8014 WG, and with the port forwarding i have been able to get one xbox 360 to open, with the other one’s Nat being moderate. I called rogers tech support who all of sudden were not helpful. This is the first complaint I’ve had about rogers tech support, up until last night they were very helpful but last night started the blame game. Saying if it was the router it would affect my pc which is untrue and just annoyed me.
So there is a couple of things I’m going to try tonight to see if we can get this up and running, but with this router if I forward the exact same ports for both xbox’s one of them won’t be able to connect to live at all. So I will be trying port forwarding for one, and dmz for the other to see if that has any effect. This router does not have UPNP so I can’t try that, but apparently the problem is having to xbox’s behind one connection which you would think with new technology would just work but as evidence has shown hasn’t worked yet.
If I get a working solution I will deffinately post it and link to the article online I found most helpful.
I think this is just the new fad and i hope it doesn’t take away from the quality of the games, i mean is NHL 10 going to be as cool when they have to spend an additional 6 months to make the character react to the user’s movement instead of a controller?? I guess only time will tell, I am very interested in this and will most likely be checking it out when it releases. I just hope i don’t have to build a new room on to my house in order to be able to use this system.
