Refer to your router manual or the router mftr.'s website for default settings if you don't have a Linksys. Open a browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox and in the addressbar type: http://192.168.1.1 [enter] (this is the router's default IP address, which varies from router to router so check your manual) This will bring you to router's login screen. The default username is left blank and the Linksys default password is "admin" without the quotes. Enter that information. Obviously if you already changed the password, enter the correct one. You are now in the router's configuration utility. Your configuration utility may differ slightly from mine. Now you can look at the router's settings and make changes as desired.

If there are other devices, each must have a unique IP address (that is, the XBOX can't have the same IP address as another device). If you don't know and you pick something such as 27 you'll be pretty safe. It's not quite as simple as that. If there are other devices on the LAN, they will probably get their addresses via DHCP, and you have to be sure that the XBOX address is not in the DHCP address range. So you have to find out what the DHCP range is, by logging on to the router. You will probably discover that the DHCP pool starting address is something like 192.168.1.33, and the pool size is 32. This means that the highest possible DHCP address is 192.168.1.64 (64=33+32-1). Then, as long as the XBOX address is above 192.168.1.64 (for example, you could choose 192.168.1.70), you're in business. -- Ian Are you using a router or ICS? Based on your other post, and on Jack's response to your post in this thread, I assumed that you're using ICS to connect your XBOX. If so, your router's DCHP server has nothing to do with the issue. ICS has its *own* IP address allocator, and it allocates IP addresses in the range 192.168.0.2 through 192.168.0.254. *Do* you have anything other than the XBOX connected to the ICS port? If you have a router, why are you using ICS in the first place (if, in fact, you are)? If you are using ICS, and this problem started after you installed Windows XP Service Pack 3, see if this applies to you: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/951446/en-us Perhaps instead of making disconnected posts, you should explain how your *entire* system of computers, routers, XBOX, and other devices are connected, what the problem is, and - most importantly - what error messages you have received. -- Lem -- MS-MVP To the moon and back with 2K words of RAM and 36K words of ROM. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_Guidance_Computer http://history.nasa.gov/afj/compessay.htm |
