I have a Linksys WRT54G wireless router. I recently purchased a Microsoft
MN-740 Xbox wireless adapter. I am having absolutely no success with it
connecting to Xbox Live. The Xbox wireless connect status screen says:
- Cables connected.
- IP Settings configured. (after a slight delay)
- DNS resolved. (after a slight delay)
- Xbox Live not found. (immediately)
It always fails immediately on the last test, followed by some simple router
configuration suggestions. I upgraded the firmware to 1.0.2.21 Boot:
1.3.0.05, with no change.
Someone suggested disabling UPnP. I was skeptical, but it connected to Xbox
Live right away!
The Microsoft MVP on the .msn.messenger newsgroup mentioned that I should
not have had to turn off UPnP, as the MN-740 supports UPnP. He suggested
that I post a message here.
Any ideas? Someone else mentioned that in order for Linksys to get the Xbox
compatible logo, they had to enable uPnP by default. So why am I having this
problem?
UPnP comes in useful for various Windows XP / MSN Messenger features--Remote
Assistance, File Transfer, etc.--so I'd like to re-enable it.
