XBox Live Help

[Juggy]

When trying to login to Live it fails and when doing the the test the MTU fails.

Any idea why?

- Disable your router firewall.

and

- Enable uPnP or forward ports 88 (UDP), 3074 (TCP, UDP)

 

[Juggy]

Aha, thanks. Surely if uPNP is enabled the router will open the ports itself?

That's why I said "or"...

Sorry, my bad.

 

[Juggy]

Thanks Feo, worked like a charm

Good stuff.

Oh, and use Comodo firewall for your PC seeing as the router's firewall is now disabled.

Can I not get around that by setting up the router firewall properly.

No clue, I only know how to set up the router for Live, not all the other stuff.

Sweet, I'll have a tinker this weekend.

Funnily enough it worked fine with the firewall enabled on my Netgear. As soon as I decided to use the Telkom 200 it stuffed up.

Typical.

If you get it right to have the router firewall disabled for Live but have it working for the PC please post the details here, I'd also like to have that kind of setup.

I'm thinking around the lines of enable the firewall and create a firewall rule allowing all activity to and from the XBox IP on all ports.

Will let you know
