    I'm normally pretty experienced with stuff like this. At my mom's we had no trouble forwarding port for various things. Our ISP there was Roadrunner. I recently moved to my dad's house, and I cannot seem to forward the proper ports for the life of me.

    I'm sure it's something easy and stupid I'm forgetting or overlooking, but I can't figure it out for the life of me. Is it possible it could just be issues with the ISP? Thanks for any help.

    Lick the router, and put some facial cabbage baggage hair on it.

    Go to Portforward.com and also make sure to have the make and model number of your router handy, you'll be able to properly configure and forward your port there. Also in XP go to start/run/type: CMD/ now at the msdos screen type ipconfig /all to get all your ip address and default gateway info as well.

    edit: Thats if you don't already know your IP Address and Default Gateway.

    You should remove those screen shots if that is your real IP info. You'll have alot of trouble if you don't. I don't think you want get hacked do you?

    That's all exactly right... EXCEPT the DNS.
    Get the DNS number fom your ISP. Tell them you have to forward the ports to your Xbox 360 and they will tell you the DNS.

    After you get the correct DNS, try the same exact thing and it should work.
    o hai

    this problem always arises from router

    check your router type, and add your port number (at NAPT )to open it

    I didn't think it hurt to tell someone what your local IP was

    Turn off all firewalls! Make sure windows firewall is off, as well as all third party software. Reboot and test again, if it fixes the problem, then try to troubleshoot your firewall(s) to allow this torrent activity but still provide you with some level of protection.

    Try giving yourself a static ip outside the dhcp range. For example, make the router give DHCP leases from .100 > .107 and then assign yourself ip .110 .. I can't give a reason why to do this, other than thats how I've always done it, and seen it done.

    I also run dd-wrt firmware on my router, and I have no issues. It should be as simple as you are making it.

    Good luck!
