[QUOTE="Janus 006, post: 997062, member: 141343"] To give the 360 a static IP, go to Network Settings on the 360. The menu options I gave you last time were a bit off. Hit the Home button, go to the right, select settings and then System settings (something like this; I'm not at home right now). Then go to network settings, edit settings, click on the basic settings and then go to edit, and finally manual. For the IP address, pick something outside the default range for your router: Ex: IP: 192.168.1.100 Subnet: 255.255.255.0 (or whatever your subnet is) Gateway: 192.168.1.1 (or whatever your router's address is) This will give your 360 a static IP. Now, you haven't answered my question regarding whether you have a wired/wireless connection. I need to know this, and if you are attempting a wireless connection, if you have the adapter. I do not have an airport express, so I'm not familiar with the configuration. It seems like your probably should enable NAT port mapping protocol. From there you probably have the option to go to advanced settings and then forward ports 88 and 3074 to your 360. The following discussion may provide insight: [url=http://forums.macosxhints.com/archive/index.php/t-95869.html]Xbox 360: Open NAT (using Airport Express) [Archive] - The macosxhints Forums[/url] Look at RMH1960's first post. As for your AE not even recognizing the 360, I don't know how to address that problem. I will know more when you tell me how you are connected. [/QUOTE]
