Son's xbox keeps bumping him offline when he is playing Live...?

Question

Looks like signal for xBox is ok. What I need to know is can the firewall be "reduced" just for Live play? He thinks the firewall is bumping him off during play.

Answer 1

It has nothing to do with a firewall. That is installed through a computer not the modem and there is no firewall in the XBox modem. It has to be the internet connection. Try restarting the modem and if that doesn't work you may have IP address conflicting problems. Good luck getting the connection to be established better.



I could help you get it fixed but I need to know more about your situation. Are you using a wireless modem or it connected directly to your computer. E-mail me if you want [e-mail]

Answer 2

If it is a wireless connection. Then, make your network private. Call your internet service provider to find out how.

If your network is not private, then you may have piggy-backers, (neighbors using your connection). And that can cause these problems.



Then you can lower the firewall of your modem, which is separate from the firewall on your computer. If your internet service provider supplied the modem, they can tell you how to do this as well.



If you bought the modem at a store and not from your ISP, then call the company (i.e. Belkin) and they will tell you how to do all this.



Make sure the 360 is allowed acces to your computer, in the firewall settings, of the computer firewall, and you can set that one as high as you like.



I have dealt with this problem.

Answer 3

It's the connection speed, if more than one person is using the connection at the same time it tends to slow an already slow connection speed.



Keep in mind that allot of things can effect your connection speed and the speed that is advertised is not always the actual. If you have a network set up make sure it is secured so others outside your home can not access it, that will slow your speed. Also make sure you are using quality connectors as old or cheap ones will reduce the speed.



You don't say if it is a wireless connection or not but if it is iIwould recommend that you link it directly to the router.

Answer 4

it maybe security. Run the XBox network test. If the NAT is closed or restricted contact your network admin and ask if they have a special way of registering consoles.



As well as you should do is power cycle modem and your router by unplugging power to both and reconnecting power them again.



Unplug modem and router.

Reset the router to factory settings.

Make sure my NAT is open.

Disabled the firewall on the router.



It is the fire wall it needs to be turned off. do so by going into your router and turn it off. The internal, LAN-IP address is normally set to a default, private number. Linksys routers, for example, use 192.168.1.1 for their internal IP address. D-Link and Netgear routers typically use 192.168.0.1. Some US Robotics routers use 192.168.123.254, and some SMC routers use 192.168.2.1. No matter the brand of router, its default internal IP address should be provided in documentation. Administrators often have the option to change this IP address during router setup. In any case, however, the private LAN-IP address remains fixed once set. It can be viewed from the router's administrative console.





Your pc will still be fine if you stilll want a fire wall get one on your pc see this link for a list of some http://download.cnet.com/windows/firewall-software/?tag=bc

Answer 5

I had this problem with an older linksys router. The long and boring technical explanation is that the XBOX uses jumbo frames (big packets - like megabyte sized packets) and the router is just expected to handle it. Most routers toss out packets which are grossly large, which is why he can get on LIVE but then it fails trying to play a game.



Buy a new router which is certified for LIVE, upgrade your firmware, or let him plug directly into the cable/DSL/FIOS modem.
