I have two problems:
Problem 1
Alright I have been having trouble connecting to people on my friends list to play online games with my xbox 360. i can connect through matchmaking, but i cant with my friends. i always get a disconnect error.
so I run a test on the xbox 360 dashboard that comes up with results.
I come across one section called NAT (Network Addres Translation) and my 360 tells me i have a 'moderate' rating.
I can click into further detail, and it tells me "that this test indicates the type of NAT that my router or gateway is using. Devices that perform strict or moderate NAT can limit the ability of gamers to find each other, particpate in sessions, or hear each other on Xbox Live."
So that has to be my problem. It then tells me a little bit lower that if my rating is 'moderate or strict' i need to replace my router with an Xbox Live Compatible device.
I am using the run of the mill Wireless Linksys G router, and i have my 360 hardwired to one of the ports on the back.
My friend has this exact router, and has no problems with it, so i'm slightly confused.
Any tips there?
Problem 2
The router im using was bought last year by my old roommate. it was set up in his room, and he did all the installation. Well, he moved out this year, but told us to keep the router.
HOWEVER, he changed the password and username to get in the router when you type 192.168.1.1, but he has since forgotten what he changed them to.
Now, I know there HAS to be a way to get back into this thing without the user name and password, because Linksys just wouldnt just let this be a useless piece of technology if the password or user name was ever forgotten.
Does anyone know a way where i can go in and change those settings?
thanks,
