hi guys,
I cant seem to get online to get some skins.. can anyone help me?
Computer : ip 192.168.1.64 subnet 255.255.255.0 default gateway: 192.168.0.1 DNS: 192.168.0.1
XBOX : same as above except 192.168.1.65 for IP
i can get RSS feeds....
thanks |
If you are using a static IP on your pc then you need to change your default gateway to 192.168.1.1 and your dns to 192.168.1.1 you will also need to change the network settings on your xbox to match the gateway and dns of your pc.
Mine is set using the same first 3 octets (192.168.1.*) and everything is working ok.
as an expert in networking, i can tell you what your problem is
1. you are using the wrong IP scheme. Home/small networks should always be 192.168.0.x not 192.168.1.x
2. you should use a netgear router not linksys
3. never have your computer be the DNS, DHCP, or NAT server. You ask for trouble that way
4. never use static ip, always DHCP provided by your router
hope this helps
Can you explain why home networks should have 192.168.0.* and not 192.168.1.*? I have always had the latter and not had problems.
