Port forwarding not working for xbox 360

Hi all. Im on the upto 8mb package with 02 broadband and have recently had a few problems with the UPNP on the o2 wireless box ii (thomson 585) so i have decided to assign the devices in my local area network fixed IP addresses and forward the relevant ports needed(all my stuff if wireless).

I've had a look on PortForward.com - ReplaceTitle on how to do the portforwarding and there is no real problem. i have forwarded some ports for my PC and checked with the PortForward.com - ReplaceTitle tool and they are now 'OPEN'. However for the xbox 360 i have done the same with ports 53,88,80,3074 and it is not working. My NAT is still showing up as STRICT. I've tried turning off the router firewall, windows firewall and eevrything else you can imagine and its still not working.

Any ideas? Greatly appreciated. The pictures below may help to shed light on my situation.

Re: Port forwarding not working for xbox 360

Hey,

I was too looking at a solution to this a few weeks back and after looking through a lot of gobbledegoop I came up with this working solution

Quote:
Go to Start, Run and type cmd
Then type telnet 192.168.1.254 and press Enter
Enter your username and password

Then type the following exactly as shown below and press Enter after each line.

:connection bind application=CONE(UDP) port=0
:ids config state disabled
:connection appconfig application=CONE(UDP) timeout=0
:saveall

Go to the router's web interface and restart the router.
Let me know how it goes No portforwarding needed.

Aden.

Re: Port forwarding not working for xbox 360

Doesn't

"ids config state disabled"

Turn off intrusion detection? Not sure that's something you'd want to arbitrarily do without fully understanding what is happening?

Re: Port forwarding not working for xbox 360

Well that's what I have done, my xbox 360 is working great with no lag or cutouts or anything.

And my intrusion detection is still on! So it must do something different.

Sorry but I don't think it is - I've found extensively that using the CLI on the thomson routers doesn't always reflect in the GUI.

From the CLI reference guide, page 375:

ids config

Display/modify the Intrusion Detection System (IDS) configuration.

SYNTAX:
where:
EXAMPLE:
ids config [state = <{disabled | enabled}>]
[trace = <{disabled|enabled}>]
state Enable or disable IDS checks.
The default is enabled.
OPTIONAL
trace Enable or disable tracing.
The default is disabled.
OPTIONAL
=>ids config
IDS configuration:
=================
state : enabled
traces ::disabled
=>

Doesn't show too well on here, but the whole manual can be downloaded here: http://www.elion.ee/docs/abi_info/ka...-780wl_cli.pdf

This also applies across the range of Thomson routers that have a CLI from what I can tell.

Re: Port forwarding not working for xbox 360

has anyone actually found a proper solution to this? Port forwarding still doesnt work unless someone can go through specific steps with me namely someone who has succesfully port forwarded on the thomson router for xbox 360.

The reason is that i want to turn off UPNP as i fear it may be giving me random disconnects on the router (noise margin stays good and not many errors).

thanks for your posts by the way guys.
