Xbox 360 Through A Router And A Wireless Game Adapter
« on: December 28, 2007, 02:38:00 AM »
I have followed the thread at »Setting up second DI-624 as an AP

to create the following situation:

XBOX1 (192.168.1.110) and XBOX 360 (192.168.1.111)
-Both Wired to a DI-604 Router (LAN 192.168.1.1, WAN 192.168.0.2)
-Wired to a DWL-G820 Wireless Game Adapter (192.168.0.35)
-Wirelessly connected to a DI-604 Wireless broadband adapter (192.168.0.1)
-Which has a PC wired to it (192.168.0.200)

I know... it sounds complicated

What I have essentially done is plugged a router into the game adapter so that I can run 2 consoles from it.

I *ALMOST* have everything working.

The Xbox1 works perfectly through both routers, I can get internet and connect to my PC share.

The Xbox 360 is different. I can connect to Xbox Live! and play online, but I cannot access my PC for Windows Media Center, or though Windows Media Player 11 sharing.

The Xbox 360 cannot find a computer with windows media center on it (was working before this new setup) nor can it find media that is being shared by windows media player 11.

So does anyone have any tricks to get these features to work?

Did you try adding the xbox360 ip to the DMZ?  Basically, what I'm hearing is you're using 2 routers, setup like this.

1 main router, connects to PC's and game adapter.  Game adapter has a 2nd router behind it to share the connection with both the 360 and Xbox.  So, the ports are probably being blocked with the 2nd router, so it's not being viewed as an internal network when trying to connect to other PCs.  The not connecting to Live part is kinda weird, as you shouldn't have to open ports for that. . . but you are double routed at the moment, and that may be messing with things a bit.

Yeah tried doing that too.

I have came to the conclusion that Media Center and Music Sharing through the dashboard, do not work when the 360 and Host Computer are on different subsets.  

I remember seeing that the debugging console for XNA Game Studio also does not work if they are on different subnets.

Live works fine.
