Title: 2 Non-mod Xbox's Thro A Switch Using Xbl?
Post by: Shiro on November 12, 2004, 08:37:00 AM

QUOTE (sargey @ Nov 12 2004, 05:37 PM)

Is it possible to use 2 retail xbox's linked thro a switch so that both can use xbl at the same time?

Cheers

As long as they have both a different gametag i dont see a reason why not.

here is the router i have

http://www.networkev...ducts/nr041.asp

also for some reason on the XBL website it says this router is not compatible

yet it seems to work fine , for one xbox , but wont let both be on at the same time

any solutions? it seems maybe this can be fixed by changing the network settings?

thanks for the info .. wierd because it is setup as DHCP and it does assign both xbox's diffrent ips , so i dont see why theres a problem...

at least you are def telling me that with that dlink router , you are using 2 xboxs on 2 live accounts at ONCE and they work ok?....

playing halo2 , basically it will only take whatever xbox signs into live first , then no matter what 2nd box cant go on live ( only 1 works at a time )

yet it DOES say my routers firmware is not xbox live compatible .. so i donno

i really hope if i buy the dlink router it will work

when i first got my new internet connection i couldnt connect with xbox at all but pc was fine, i had to call to have to have the router configured to allow xbox access beacuse the modem i recieved form cyberonic.com is a 4 port router as well as a modem

i think its more a configuration issue but i could be wrong, try calling your isp i couldnt hurt

i searched around quite a bit before i found my isp, had sbc, earthlink, comcast
all worked fine on alink sys router

found this cyberonic isp 1500 DL 768 UL for 49.99 a month only 10$ more than i was paying with the others and 8$ less than comcast and can host 12 man recon with full booms

but i havent had an issue after the initial call to gell xbox online the first time, i got 2 xbox's one on a 55" wide screen and my modded on vga adapter to 19" lcd pc screen and when my bud comes buy he brings his games and we both get on live fine with no problem although we use my 2 gamer tags cause hes a lazy ass and dont work
