xbox 360

depending on how your router works you may need to find the save command and power it down and up again, if not I could lend you my sledge hammer

If all else fails it might just be easier to change your router. I install quite a few in my job and i really recommend either Belkin or Draytek. You pay more then the usual but there so solid and have every feature

I've just tried just about everything I can think of and it still says strict.

Odd though as before Christmas it worked and I was racing of some of the guys from ClioSport.

Think I'll order a new router, this one has always been a pain in the arse.

 

[Lee]

Right, I gave up with my POS router and ordered one which is Xbox live certified. Should be here in a Thursday so I'll get it setup Thursday night.

Now where did I put all those details from my ISP? :roll:

Good router, I used to have that one.

Won't you need a modem router if you are on adsl though? Unless you have a separate modem with ethernet out

 

[hyb]

Yeh deffo, hope you got one lee or it'll mean Returning that one or buying a adsl modem eek! that's another £40 odd! Really annoying when companies don't make it clear that you'll need another part to it.

one of those, built in adsl modem

Ooops that'l teach me to rush things, I just assumed it would have one, what the hell is the point of an ADSL router with no modem. :? I've just swapped it for the DG632.

That should do the trick. It better do anyway. If it doesn't I'm blaming you Hyb. :wink:

 

[Nik]

I used to have the 614 when i was on NTL broadband, as the NTL modem has an ethernet out. Then when I moved house i had to switch to ADSL (plusnet) so had to buy a new router.

Now i'm actually considering going back to NTL so I can get rid of the phone line completely, meaning I'll probably have to change routers yet again!

 

[hyb]

Fingers crossed

 

[ducks butt]

Did you chaps get a game after all? I've not got a router so will I have problems with the 360? I can't be having this every time i want to have a game.

 

[Lee]

No, we didn't get to race in the end.

My router should arrive tomorrow so I'll try and set it up as much as I can at work to save time when I get home. Bit busy for a change though.

I'm with Plusnet Nik. I'll not use the USB I'll just connect it to my switch as my current one is.

Give it a few months and I'll probably get a wireless access point sorted.

 

[ducks butt]

So much for plug and play. Fingers crossed i have no probs next week.

 

[Lee]

Dam, I'm weak. Change of plan. I've ordered this instead: http://www.broadbandbuyer.co.uk/Shop/Sh ... uctID=2266

And a wireless adaptor for the 360.

 

[hyb]

Make ya mind up!

I play my 360 throught the wireless adapter and my draytek vigor wifi adsl modem/router. Works a treat

 

[Lee]

I'm all over the place. lol

I decided that I'm going to go wireless as some point and the other router would just end up sat in the cupboard so I might as well do it now. lol

 

[hyb]

True True, to be honest, any modern router should allow you to play on Live, some just may require minor settings to be changed
If you want to get some practice on, I think we should race on Half F1 Circuit Nurburgring, that tracks great

 

[Lee]

I don't need any practice. :wink:

Although that isn't a track I'm great on, I did hold top spot in class B for a week though.

I love the London and Las Vegas tracks the best, I hate Tokyo.

My order went through okay and will be with my tomorrow. Not so sure about the wifi adaptor, but it should be okay, if not I've still got a 20 metre CAT 5 cable. lol

 

[hyb]

I had my xbox at my gf's, it wouldn't connect through the 3com router I had there, about 2 years old, works fine at my house with my router though. Should be fine

 

[Lee]

360 Wireless adaptor is here, just waiting on the router now.

 

[hyb]

Did you order both from the same place?

 

[FlamingMonkey]

I don't need any practice. :wink:

I can confirm this...lol
