x-box360 on a wired ics connection

<< < (2/5) > >>

Simon:
There's a lot of discontent with Virgin in general at the moment.  Users seem to feel as though traffic is being strangled, and they have apparently introduced more traffic management recently.  If the number who have migrated to IDNet is anything to go by, they are losing a lot of customers.

Michelle:
Okay right - first no there is no router.

set up is - xbox into pc via ethernet - pc into modem via usb - modem cable virgin.

if thats clear lol

I don't think its to do with capping it can happen at any time of day or night.  Funny thing is I hadn't had any other problems with my connection apart from yesterday - when I couldn't get on line at all and i thought virgin were just doing some thing on the line so I left it a while til I called them (about 90mins) , they said there were no known issues in my area and suddenley it just started working again no problems. I had been downloading all day so that might have been capping of sort? But of late I've not downloaded much at all - hardly anything maybe a small game or two.

I've  had virgin and xbox about 15months and no problems like this before - well only the xbox freezing and then the ring of death. This seems to be since the xbox came back after repair... but we only noticed it when playing multiplayer on COD4 which was a few months after the xbox came back.

Thought it was just that game - but then he tried playing PGR4 multiplayer and it happened there.

Another odd thing is - that it doesn't kick you out of the game but off xbox live and the pc is still connected and working fine. Most of the time you restart the xbox and you are right back on, and sometimes you don't even have to restart xbox you just go right back in.

The only thing I'm not sure is set up right is port forwarding as I can't find out how you port forward without a router, I've put then ports into the ics but I'm not sure I have done that right.

Michelle:
and thanks for looking guys :)

Simon:
Not having used cable broadband, or Xbox, I'll be of no help, Michelle, so hopefully Sam will be back later.  :)

Michelle:
Yeah I think possibly Sam is my only chance here :dunno:.........thanks anyway Simon :)
