Ok, so me and my brother both recently have a 360 - both running two individual Xbox LIVE accounts. They are both connected to our router. But we have been having alot of problems when both are running at the same time, and connected to the internet.
If one of us uses the Xbox and connects, there is no problem. But when the second one does the same, that system recieves messages about the NAT being closed and it may cause connection problems. This only happens when we try to use two at the same time, and the one affected by the problem is always the second one to connect.
I havent had problems running two different gaming machines with this setup before, its only with the two Xbox's at the same time. It causes many problems, such as when one of us disconnects, so does the other. Random DC'd, more lag.
Can anyone help? is there something I need to setup so we can run both?
The router is a Linksys BEFW11S4 (its a bit old now, but always worked fine until now). I know some of the basics about the settings etc, but by no means am I an expert.
Any help appreciated :) |
usually there are problems if the two consoles are assigned the same IP address.
Have them both set to automatic in the Xbox dashboard in the network settings so the router assigns them a unique one and then on your router settings go into each Xbox device and try to find the option "use same address". That means the Xbox's will always use their same unique IP address and the router won't randomly assign them one (sometimes the same one as eachother which causes the problems.) every now and then.
