halo2 Posted December 9, 2005 CID Share Posted December 9, 2005 Hey everyone I play XBOX Live a lot.I did a packet test for my XBOX and the results were terrible, only 15/25 packets received. I talked with an XBOX live support guy and he told me to open up some ports (tcp and udp). By the way the ports I need to open are udp: 88, 3074 and tcp: 3074. Any help would be awesome.

richcornucopia Posted December 9, 2005 CID Share Posted December 9, 2005 If you have a router you need to do some portforwarding, do you have one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halo2 Posted December 9, 2005 Author CID Share Posted December 9, 2005 Yeah I do router, but I was doing that connection from modem to XBOX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richcornucopia Posted December 9, 2005 CID Share Posted December 9, 2005 If you have your xbox directly connected to the modem you shouldn't need to forward ports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halo2 Posted December 10, 2005 Author CID Share Posted December 10, 2005 Well now I'm hooking my router back up so do I just forward those ports normally? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richcornucopia Posted December 10, 2005 CID Share Posted December 10, 2005 Yea forward whatever ports that the xbox guy said, to the ip address of your xbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostmaster Posted December 10, 2005 CID Share Posted December 10, 2005 I know some DSL modems actually have firewall built it, so there might actually be some port forwarding needed on the modem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halo2 Posted December 10, 2005 Author CID Share Posted December 10, 2005 How do I port forward a modem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostmaster Posted December 10, 2005 CID Share Posted December 10, 2005 that depends on manufacturer. Look up a users guide for your modem and it should tell you. It isnt much different than on a router. I did it for a friend one time and he had some sort of modem from sprint with a web interface. It was cake...
