Dlink DI-624 won't connect my xbox360 to xbox live

CDsDontBurn · Dec 9, 2007, 08:39 AM

I have a Dlink DI-624 (not DI-624+) rev. C2 router, and i've been having this issue. I've also noticed that whenever i try to connect to XBL, that my computers lose connectivity.

so, i've been searching this issue for a few hours already trying to get my 360 online. i'm hooked up with an ethernet cable directly to my router. Basically, whenever i go to connect to XBL, on the final test it won't connect me. i've found a few fixes, but neither of them work.

One fix is to change the UDP and TCP settings to the following:

UDP - 88
UDP - 3074
TCP - 3074

Now, i've done that already, and still nothing.

The other is to downgrade the router's firmware to 2.75, but i can't seem to find that one. And the link provided on that post is dead now

.

are there any other possible things i could try to try and get this fixed?

EDIT:
i've also tried hooking up my 360 directly to my modem and that's even worse. it won't let me get online! going through my router, it passes all tests until it gets to the XBL section of the test, then does what i described above.

EDIT:

Mirror links no good. Still checking.

UPDATE:

I "think" this may get you what you're looking for:

i'll go ahead and give some of those beta ones a try, but i'm not sure if they will work. on xbox's website, there's a list of different firmware versions that are XBL capable.

i'll make myself a backup of my current firmware just in case...

hehe, i got my router settings fixed!

i had to manually give my 360 it's own IP address and DNS server address instead of the router assigning those values.

i still have the UDP TCP settings to the ones listed above on my previous post.

So I seem to be having the same problems, the only thing is that I'm a complete novice at networking.

Can you give me a quick 1-2-3 on how to manually give my Xbox 360 it's own IP address and DNS server address?

I don't mean to be "one of those guys" but I've had my Xbox 360 and a laptop w/ Windows MCE for almost a year and I've never been able to get it set up. It keeps giving me the "try again" message. I'm sure it has something to do w/ my router and/or firewall, and since you have the same router as me (DI-624) I think your fix may help me out... I have not yet tried to downgrade my firmware to 2.75 (currently running 2.76)...Thanks

CDs: Did you see your 360 on the PC Network and assign IP there, or did you have to go into the router to configure it? As I don't actually play on the 360 (my son does!) I haven't really delved into working with the actual setup for it.

i will make a post on this later today, as i do not have the time to do it right at this momment.

@ Dyre: I manually gave my 360 the IP addy...you'll see how on my next post when i explain it to boricua365.

i know this is a bit of an old thread, but i still get PMs from time to time asking me about how to configure this particular router. Here is an update as to what my router settings are in addition to what was already posted above.

Is DMZ disabled or enabled? I suggest that you set DMZ to disabled. what are the other settings set up on your router? What about DHCP? Is that enabled or disabled? I suggest that you have that enabled. You might also want to check your router's "Advanced Applications" settings (pic below) and set the trigger port to 88-3074 and the public port to 3074 and all the other stuff that's in the pic.

Hope this helps!

yeah now that you mention it I ran into this problem a lot when the original xboxes were first coming around. They would take forever to get working and then have lots of problems with kicking others off of the network

First, I'd like to say, "Thank you," for this advice because your solution worked and it was actually kinda simple.

I've never replied to a web thread/forum before, but after experiencing so many problems with XBox live I promised myself that if I found a solution to this problem I would spread the word.

I plan to post a detailed response, but for now the solution is:
1. From your router settings, assign a static IP to the XBox 360 console
2. Edit the network settings on your XBox 360 and enter the IP information MANUALLY.
3. Test
