Help me please
 

I have a mac g4 (flat panel) and a usb adsl modem. On my xbox it gets to mtu and it says failed. I have changed my mtu on my mac to 1364 and higher but it still doesnt connect.

Please could somebody help as i dont really know that much about networking or anything. Thanks.

Right.. im having a massive problem.

i used this step by step guide

http://www.ofzenandcomputing.com/zanswers/358

and was very impressed as it actually worked. i played Xbox for about a week on live and everything worked fine.

i then one day came home to find it not working at all.

i used the terminal - ifconfig and got the ip address of "inet 192.168.2.1" but when i go onto system preferences, network, it says that my ip address is 192.168.0.2 . which one should i be putting in?!

my router ip number is 192.168.0.1

ive used the ip address of 192.168.2.2 (as the website said to add a number to the end) and when i run the Xbox live test it says the ip address is confirmed but the DNS fails.

i still have 255.255.255.0 as my subnet

and on the dns i just put my router number as 192.168.0.1 - (my ip addresses have changed tho im like 90% sure they have.)

can anyone else me? because soon im just going to go out and buy a wireless adapter which is like £60.

Cheers if you can help me.

I have tried this same linked site and thought I was on to something and it was going to connect, after passing the DNS. Then I failed MTU (on my xbox) and do not know what that means or how to fix it. Can anyone help?

Oh and I am also confused this IPv4 business. What is that? My MacBook only has IPv6.

Thanks.

i have set up everything exactly as everyone else has said to do so but it still wont pass the DNS i share my wireless with 3 other pc's and my firewall is off, the ip works but when i try and connect the 360 to my mac the dns fails and then i haev no internet access on my mac, what should i do???

if anybody could help.

i have internet through verizon by the cellphone internet aka Broadband Access and i have had ppl tell me that its not good for running xbl. but i disagree. it has a 500-800 kbps upload speed and thats more than enough for xbl. the way my computer is connected to the internet is the a small usb modem verizon gave me and its plugged into one of my usb ports.
i wanna run an ethernet cord from my built-in ethernet to the xbox.
i have internet sharing turned on to share with my ethernet port.

my tcp/ip settings on my ethernet are:
config IPv4: off

i checked the ip assigned to my ethernet port and it says 196.198.2.1 just like everyone else's mac.

my xbox settings look like this:
IP Configuration: Manual
IP: 192.168.2.2
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Router/Gateway: 192.168.2.1

DNS server: 69.78.96.14

if found the dns server number by typing dig in the terminal app just after i found my ip assigned to the ethernet port.

every time i text my xbox live connection, it fails the ip address test.

please someone help

DNS problem (yes, still)
 

Hey everyone. I'm recently new to this forum, but have been reading for a while. I like what I'm seeing, and was wondering if someone could help me out.

For the longest while, I've used bootcamp on my Macbook Pro, and ran both Mac OS X and Windows XP (yes, I know its a sin :eek: - I'm awful) but the only reason I did it was because I play Xbox Live. I just connected an ethernet cable to my computer, enabled internet sharing, and then went ahead with xbox live (of course every setting was on automatic).

I've read over all of these posts, and would really like some help in the DNS area. For some reason I've tried just about everything, and the DNS part still won't work for me. As I type in "dig" to terminal, I get:

SERVER: 192.168.2.1#53(192.168.2.1)

so naturally, i went to my xbox and went into DNS settings, manual, and set the primary DNS server to 192.168.2.1 (I'm still unsure if I need to do anything witht he Secondary DNS server [it's currently at 0.0.0.0]). I want to make this clear, I have NO PROBLEMS with IP settings, IP address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway. Everything is fine until the DNS part.

I have not tweaked anything in System Preferences other than I turned on Internet sharing in my Built-In Ethernet Box. I believe I'm missing some step in there somewhere - I think I need to tweak somewhere under "Network" and then either Airport or Built-In Ethernet (I've read alot about IPV4 and IPV6, but have no idea what they do :confused:).

Please Please Please could someone help me. I've got to leave to go out of town and need to get this fixed in the next few days. I'd be incredibly grateful.

If anyone has any suggestions, please post them, and if you feel extra-nice, you could email at erickdevore@gmail.com.

Thanks so much everybody!

I just moved down to florida and I have wireless connection on my mac. I am running an ethernet wire from the port on the back of my mac to my xbox 360. At first I could not get the IP settings to work. I have all of that set up using perrin's set up. Here is the problem. It confirms the IP address and the DNS but when it gets down to MTU it fails. Any one know what I'm doing wrong ? any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

I know this thread is 4 years old but I stumbled upon it in my quest to figure out how to forward ports for my Xbox 360 using ICS on my iMac (Leopard)

I have successfully connected my Xbox to the internet but i get NAT type strict. I need to forward the necessary ports for my Xbox 360 but I have no idea how. Any help would be appreciated.

Xbox live test fails at MTU
 

I have a mac min with built in airport card, sharing an internet connection, and i have an xbox360 with a wireless network adapter. I inputted all my ip and gateway and dns values manually. When I run the test it recognizes the wireless adapter, the wireless connection , passes the IP test, passes the DNS test, but fails when it reaches the MTU test. What is the problem?

Just finally got mine working.
My main mistake. Plugging into ethernet 1 instead of ehthernet 2. !!!

Still, I just followed what perrin said in his first post, so at present my settings are;

On the Mac-
System Preferences>Sharing>Internet Sharing>On.
System Preferences>Network>Ethernet 1>Configure>Off, (all other boxes empty).
Strange that the Mac show ethernet as not connected tho

On the xBox
IP address>192.168.2.2, (as per perrins instructions)
Subnet mask>255.255.255.0, (as per perrins instructions)
Gateway>192.168.2.1, (as per perrins instructions)
DNS server>192.168.100.1, (as per perrins instructions)
PPPoE>Default
Advanced settings>Default

How do you recharge Energizer e2 rechargeable batteries on the xbox? I have an xbox recharger cord, battery pack, and energizer e2 recharger batteries but the batteries don't seem to be recharging! When I connect the cord, xbox, and controller to recharge the batteries, there isn't a red light to indicate that its charging and either way, it doesn't seem to be charging.

Command Line Port Forward NAT
 

Hey Everyone this worked for me. I was getting the Moderate NAT error when testing XBOX Live using internet sharing. This fixed that issue

1. You need to setup internet sharing as properly instructed above.

2. Put Your Computer on the DMZ or open the proper ports (UDP 88 3074 & tcp 3074)

3. Follow the instructions on this website. To forward the proper traffic to your xbox

http://forums.macnn.com/90/mac-os-x/...ing-mac-os-xs/

Here is the conf file settings I used.

redirect_port udp 192.168.2.2:88 88
redirect_port udp 192.168.2.2:3074 3074
redirect_port tcp 192.168.2.2:3074 3074

192.168.2.2 was the IP of my Xbox, You should use the one in the your xbox settings

Also I received this error but it hasn't caused any issues

Binding to NATPM port failed!

Hi, I am having trouble finding my routers IP address because I live in a school dorm and ifconfig en0 does not show the IP address in terminal. I'm guessing its blocked by the school. Is there anything I can do? I hit error at the IP address part.

Every other site I had checked regarding this issue failed to address DNS errors. All I had to do was use this "dig" command in Terminal, and, indeed, the SERVER address (( in my case 192.168.1.1 )) when input as both the Primary and Secondary DNS address, had me connected in no time!

Other than that my settings were what appear to be the logical Mac standard in these situations:

:::IP Settings::: Manual
IP Address: 192.168.2.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.2.1

::: DNS Settings::: Manual
Primary DNS Server 192.168.1.1
Secondary DNS Server 192.168.1.1

Can connect this way, but can't download patches
 

All,

Just got a new XBox 360, and the posts in this thread have been tremendously helpful. The very first thing the 360 wants to do is download the new dashboard (NXE) but the download just sits there and times out.

I can connect to live...anyone have any suggestions on what I can try??

ive got this issue solved but now i have a problem with the NAT settings can anyone help

Likewise with the NAT, anyone know how to forward ports for mac osx internet sharing?

I've followed schibs18's post but to no avail...

95% of XBox 360 networking problems would be fixed by the following two simple rules:
1. Don't use Internet Sharing, use a router.
2. Put the XBox 360 into the DMZ in your router.
