To set up Port Forwarding, there are two main parts that must be done. The first part is setting up a static IP address on the Xbox 360, and the second is setting up the port forwarding on the router.
NOTE: By enabling a static IP address on your Xbox 360, you may run in to connectivity issues when attempting to connect to the internet at different locations. If you do run in to connectivity issues at other locations, you must turn off the static IP.

Part 1. Setting up a static IP on your Xbox 360
  1. To start, we will need to turn on the Xbox. Then go to the Settings heading. From here you will need to move down and press A on System.
  2. Next, choose Network Settings. Then you will want to select Wired Network.
    NOTE: The next steps are for the Wired Network settings. If you are connecting to a wireless network, then select Wireless Network instead. The steps for assigning a static IP for a wireless network should be somewhat similar.

  3. Next, we will want to select Configure Network and press A. Here we want to select IP Settings by pressing A again. Then, we will want to select Manual to begin assigning a static IP.
  4. Here you will need to fill out the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway information. Once all three settings have been entered, select Done and press A.
    NOTE: These settings may vary depending on the brand of your router, but the following settings are the default for both Comtrend and Linksys brands.
    • IP Address: 192.168.1.115
    • Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
    • Gateway: 192.168.1.1


  5. Next we will want to select and change the DNS Settings to Manual as well. Depending on your ISP, these number will vary, but Nex-Tech's are:
    • Primary DNS Server: 24.225.5.2
    • Secondary DNS Server: 24.225.0.1

    Once these addresses are entered, select Done and press A.

  6. Now we have successfully assigned a static IP address to your Xbox 360. Next we will need to set up the port forwarding inside your router. Please follow the steps below to configure your router.

Resetting your AirPort base station restores it to a state that allows you to regain control of it when you lost the base station password or the base station isn't responding as expected. Sublime text 3 download windows 10. Depending on the base station model, you can perform one or more of these types of resets:

  • Soft reset: Resets the base station password and disables security (Access Control and RADIUS settings) for 5 minutes so that you can join the network to make changes. If you make no changes within 5 minutes, the base station reverts to its former settings. Perform this reset if you can't administer the base station because you forgot its password.
  • Hard reset: Resets the base station to an unconfigured state, but retains the last saved configuration and any profiles, allowing you to restore your base station from previous settings. Perform this reset when the base station is unresponsive, or you're troubleshooting network issues that aren't resolved by other means.
  • Factory-default reset: Like a hard reset, but removes any saved configurations and profiles. Perform this reset if you're selling or giving away your base station. (This does not erase data stored on the built-in hard drive of a Time Capsule, or on any external hard drive connected to the base station.)

When performing a hard reset or factory-default reset:

  • The base station is set to request an IP address by DHCP.
  • The base station password is set to 'public.'
  • The base station name is set to 'base station,' followed by the last six digits of the base station's MAC (Media Access Control) address.
  • The base station network name is set to 'Apple Network,' followed by the last six digits of the base station's MAC address.
  • The base station won't be visible in the Wi-Fi status menu or AirPort Utility for up to a minute. You may then use the device in its default state or reconfigure it using AirPort Utility.

Before resetting your base station, it's best to make sure that its firmware is up to date, if possible.

    • IP Address 192.42.249.15
    • Subnet 255.255.255.0
    • Router 192.42.249.13
