I have a issue with my xbox ...

I have a Linksys WRT546 ...

What was the "issue" with your xbox?

When you go to Linksys SITE, you'll need to provide a "valid" model and version number to access the relevent documentation for your router.

General information: Connect an Xbox or Xbox 360 to your network.

Maybe select "Setting-Up Servers Behind a Linksys Router" link left side of this web page: Welcome to Ask Linksys.

Keeping in mind that I've never done this, the following Linksys forum posts might also get you closer to your goal. I don't know whether you want/need to select "Single Port Forwarding", "Port Range Forwarding", or "Port Range Triggering".

I have a issue with my xbox ...

1. What is the issue with your xbox? Do you need ports open for online gaming? Which game?

2. Model Number. There is no Linksys WRT546.

3. For background information see Port forwarding and possibly Port triggering.

4. The following links show examples of port forwarding configured from the "Applications & Gaming" tab of the home router's configuration address:

Port Range Forward:

Certain applications may require to open specific ports in order for it to function correctly. Examples of these applications include servers and certain online games. When a request for a certain port comes in from the Internet, the router will route the data to the computer you specify. Due to security concerns, you may want to limit port forwarding to only those ports you are using, and uncheck the Enable checkbox after you are finished.

The Port Range Forwarding screen sets up public services on your network, such as web servers, ftp servers, e-mail servers, or other specialized Internet applications. (Specialized Internet applications are any applications that use Internet access to perform functions such as videoconferencing or online gaming. Some Internet applications may not require any forwarding.)

When users send this type of request to your network via the Internet, the Router will forward those requests to the appropriate PC. Any PC WHOSE port is being forwarded must have its DHCP client function disabled and must have a new static IP address assigned to it because its IP address may change when using the DHCP function.

Customized Applications. Enter the name of the public service or other Internet application in the field provided.

External Port. Enter the numbers of the External Ports (the port numbers seen by users on the Internet).

TCP Protocol. Click this checkbox if the application requires TCP.

UDP Protocol. Click this checkbox if the application requires UDP.

IP Address. Enter the IP Address of the PC running the application.

Enable. Click the Enable checkbox to enable port forwarding for the application.

------------------
Check all the values and click Save Settings to save your settings. Click the Cancel Changes button to cancel your unsaved changes.

Better Example. Can't get any clearer than this. See "Example 2" of Port Forwarding How to.
