If you use ICS, get a software firewall and block the port.

The above post is for people with routers.

So blocking those ports Gaurantee me safe online gaming on XBCONNECT without getting Banned.

Just looking for your blessing, and ask if anyone else tried this. I tested it and it seemed to work, XBOX Live couldn't get past the blocked ports.

yeah im ganna try this out! wat software firewall u guys reccomend??

[Bradley687]

I have a router, and I gave my XBOX an IP address. I blocked the Ports specified, but I just wanna know who else tried this?

Each router has a manual that tells you how to block the ports, I just follow that.

ok tried this but when I go to the settings tab and to network setting and try to connect I still get the message conected to xbox life!... Apparently I'm doing something wrong, but I followed the instructions in the manual...

I have a Draytek Vigor 2200 usb router and set the IP Filter / Firewall Setup to:

Pass or Block: Block Immediately
Direction: OUT
Protocol: TCP/UDP
Source: the IP I entered manualy in the xbox
Destination: any
Subnet Mask: same as my pc which is connected to the same router
Operator: =
Start Port: 3074
End Port: 3074

what I''m I doing wrong?

If your other virgin-xbox is used for x-box live purposes only, then why do you care?  The modded one will get banned if you accidentally log into Live with the modchip on, but you have a virgin-xbox for x-box live purposes only already!

plz I still need help.....

[Chunkywolf]

i'd try spanning the port range 1 in each direction to se if it's like a greater than compared to where most are greater than or equal to

and if the box gets banned it's just the box not the account so why would you care.

M$ did it for security reasons on the live network. not to piss of a person.  they just don't want people with chipped boxes logging in and hacking
