I'm having difficulty connecting to my friends xbox, who lives in another town. Could someone please help me? Here's what I've done with no luck.
I'm connected to a wireless router, my friend is connected to a regular router.
I'm the Server.
I enter my Default Gateway IP Address - 192.168.#.#
I enter my Subnet Mask Gateway Address - 255.255.255.0
I enter my XBOX IP Address - 192.168.#.###
I set NetPlay to On
I had my friend do the following
He entered his Default Gateway IP Address - 192.168.#.#
He entered his Subnet Mask Gateway IP Address - 255.255.255.0
He entered his XBOX IP Address - 192.168.#.###
He went into Add Netplay Server, and entered my XBOX IP Address - 192.168.#.###
He set NetPlay to On
Then, I picked TMNT 2, I went to Server, I choose 0, and then it says it's listining for incoming connections.
My friend picks the exact same game, he chooses Client, he selects my XBOX's IP address, and after 10 seconds, it says it could not connect.
What is wrong? I followed everything to the T in this turotrial here. Please help!
ALSO - Do you need xbconnect in order for this to work? Cause my friend lives in another town. I need to know if I'm going in the right direction, because my friend and I cannot connect to eachoter, and if xbconnect is needed, please tell us how, and what to do. Please.
*This is my exact post on Page 2 of "Netplay Here's How" No one has even tried to help me. I would really like to know how to do this. Please. Thank You for your time. :-)

You arent using the correct ip adress.
its like this :

red is how you should do it, and blue is how you are doing it which is incorrect.
then ofcourse you gotta make sure your router forwards the connection requests to your xbox.

The reason is cos you are telling your emulator to connect to another xbox into your network and not through the internet, i mean, your trying with 192.168. x.x where that is typical home network, it should be something like 200.243.x.x where that should be your real ip, go to dslrports.com-->tools---> your ip to see your real ip, do the same with your friend thne try to configure your emulator, i've never tried with netplay b4 and i even haven't read the pinned topic so i really don't know, what i'm sure that this is must be the way to do it cos i have remote access from my office to my home pc and works 100% fine, if your are interested we could try conecting each other lets say tomorrow (sorry i can't today) or monday when i come back from my weekend, i really want to try this.
