need help quick... whats better for hosting on xbox live through a LInksys wrt54g router... automatic configuration or DMZ with static ip..... this is for speed reasons... dont care about security right now

[Advertisements]

I would set it in dmz and let autoconfig take card of it. you might need to port foward,

this is the info for the ports: Xbox Live tcp 3074 udp 88,3074

the router access page under "Applications and Gaming" and "Port Range Forward"asks for the following information:

Application:________

Start: _____ to End: ______

Protocol: tcp or udp

IP Address: 192.168.1._____

Enable or Disable


what should i input for this

[starjax]

application: xbox

start: 3074 end: 3074

protocol tcp

ip address: the adress that your xbox obtains> there is a status screen for ip info on the router that you can use to look it up.


enable


save changes

Thanks Starjax.... i was only able to notice a small difference when hosting with 10 gamers or less... anything over that and i experienced the same intermittent skipping... upgraded to the fastest tier on my internet service today: 5MB downstream and 728Kb upstream.... woohooo big difference now.... hosting now with 15 other gamers plus myself and i have no skipping, no lagging... runnin smooth...

If your ever online with XBox Live playing Ghost Recon Summit Strike or Halo 2 Join me....For Lag free No skip play. [same gamertag as my name on here: spacecowboy706]
