Re: [WISPA] XBOX 360
I think double nat can cause a problem for that sometimes. A low quality home firewall/router can also contribute. Lend the customer a different router and see if that helps.

Re: [WISPA] XBOX 360
I think the NAT isn't the issue here. The nat gets to the xbox when it comes to A. connecting to a game. or B. Hosting a game. Once they are in a game it shouldn't be a nat issue. The xbox 360 doesn't use much when it comes bandwidth. But think about it more like a VOIP call. Its very sensitive to jitter and packet loss. Also, When it comes to the xbox world the servers aren't always up to par. This is because most games have the user hosting a server and everyone connects to that person. Well most people don't have the internet for that. Or they are far away and the latency just getting to them is bad. So you may not be the bad guy here.

Re: [WISPA] XBOX 360
The only issue we have with Xbox are situations where XBOX Live tells the end user that their router is not a high enough level of compatibilty, so it is not allowed to connect with all Xbox live sessions.. (sorry I forget the exact term they use). To Fix that it requires two things... 1) The port forward rules... TCP/UDP 3074 and UDP 88. 2) for Linksys under security, uncheck everything Block Anonymous Internet Requests , Filter Multicast , Filter Internet NAT Redirection , Filter IDENT(Port 113). Not every thing there matters, but I forget which one or two is relevent. For us Xbox performance has not been an issue, and it should be noted that we only have residential customers on Trango 900Mhz sectors, averaging 40 homes per sector. There is just a big a chance that the XBOX users are getting congestion on XBOX's Hosted Server side of the connection, dependant on which they are using to establish connection. If you suspect your network, then I'd look for basic network quality type things like latency and packet loss on all hops end to end.

Re: [WISPA] XBOX 360
I don't see it using a lot of bandwidth, and it seems to burst pretty quickly when I do see the traffic. But, if the game has to keep track of his position relative to the other players, wouldn't that require a fairly constant packet exchange with the server?

Re: [WISPA] XBOX 360
They haven't gotten any not good enough messages from the xbox. I assume the fix of which you speak was done on the client router and not your core equipment? Ping times from my monitoring position, through a wireless router in my home, out a customer client (I have us set up just like a customer) through my core, back out a sector, to their repeater sector, out their repeater, through a client in the house and finally a switch varies from 4ms to 7ms USUALLY. The client sector facing my tower is set up as a bridge. The repeater connected to it is set up to do DHCP and NAT. The client in the house is set up as a bridge to let the repeater do all the DHCP/NAT. So, there really is only one place the IPs are natted. I will tell him to 1) make sure his firmware is the latest. I think you can just update from the Xbox, tight? 2) to try different games or a different group of users to see if it's the server or not. I guess I never knew the servers were out in other users homes, kinda like P2P or a sort of distributed computing? I guess I thought the Xbox live servers were centrally located.

They are and they aren't. Xbox Live itself is centrally located, but whenever you join a game with other human players, one of those players will host the game.

The client sector facing my tower is set up as a bridge. The repeater connected to it is set up to do DHCP and NAT. The client in the house is set up as a bridge to let the repeater do all the DHCP/NAT. So, there really is only one place the IPs are natted. I will tell him to 1) make sure his firmware is the latest. I think you can just update from the Xbox, tight? 2) to try different games or a different group of users to see if it's the server or not.

Xbox Live itself is centrally located, but whenever you join a game with other human players, one of those players will host the game. It's basically the same model as most multi-player games, save MMO games with hundreds or thousands of players, have used for ten or more years. David Smith MVN.net WISPA Wants You!

They can host for other networks though. Strange. As others have mentioned, if your whole network is heavily NATted that could confuse things. Another possibility: a lot of wireless gear doesn't let two clients on the same AP talk to one another, or make that an adjustable setting. In many instances, this is a good thing; one wireless client that can talk to other wireless clients could do nasty things to the AP with all that broadcast traffic. This is one of the limited instances when you'd want two clients to communicate directly, but you'll have to weigh the pros and cons. David Smith MVN.net WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] XBOX 360
What kind of network topology do you have between your head end and their Xbox? Two or more layers of NAT, from what I read, bother the Xbox. What kind of bandwidth does he get after a speed test? Xbox uses a lot more then I expect. I remember at a LAN party the 1.5 meg T1 was full by 3-4 Xboxes.

Just in case anyone has an xbox 360 or has a son/daughter that does, you can simply add 2 normal case fans to the box of the 360 and it will pretty much take care of the problem.

Re: [WISPA] xbox 360 issues
Xbox live service has been up and down since Black Friday. It is possible that the host machine is also causing problems, but my guess is that the million new subscribers over the weekend gave the service a pounding.

Re: [WISPA] xbox 360 issues
I believe the Tuesday before or a week before that they launched a bew firmware for the console (100 megs or more IIRC) which could be related, but my stance has always faulted with lousy servers.

Re: [WISPA] xbox 360 issues
Problems with PC games? I believe the vast majority, if not all XBox games are hosted by the users in the game instead of a central server (as mentioned earlier). It's entirely dependant on how good or bad everyone's connection is. Could be your connection quality back to MS central.

I am confident Halo and Call of Duty have the majority of games. I can't verify that Call of Duty does games p2p versus client-server, though. One player in the match will be selected as the server based on the quality of there connection with COD4 and COD5. Its too bad they did not allow dedicated linux game servers for these games. I always tell custommers that if all the players in the given match have a crappy connection its the server. If its just them then it 'might' be a problem with there connection. I have seen a number of users with NAT issues on there router though. Also, many times they connect to there router wireless with the xbox or ps3 and that connection goes crappy.

Re: [WISPA] xbox 360 issues
So, if the host of the game is on a bad connection that would screw up everyone? I've got people with 8 and 9 meg connections having trouble. Found out about a play station customer that's having some trouble too. I think that there must be something on our network(s) that is at least adding to the problem.

Re: [WISPA] xbox 360 issues
Indeed. If someone's connection is crap and they're the host, everyone else's will be crap as well for the duration of that game. Previously an upstream of mine had a bad router that would decide on its own what traffic it would or would not pass without issue. The issue was most noticeable on World of Warcraft, but downloads from various companies didn't work either. All I could do was to have someone play that game at a hop and see if it worked or not. - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com -- From: Marlon K.

Odd I can't find a ranking for Xbox live games. I am confident Halo and Call of Duty have the majority of games. I can't verify that Call of Duty does games p2p versus client-server, though. One player in the match will be selected as the server based on the quality of there connection with COD4 and COD5. Its too bad they did not allow dedicated linux game servers for these games. I always tell custommers that if all the players in the given match have a crappy connection its the server. If its just them then it 'might' be a problem with there connection. I have seen a number of users with NAT issues on there router though. Also, many times they connect to there router wireless with the xbox or ps3 and that connection goes crappy.

Re: [WISPA] xbox 360 issues
I believe what Dennis is saying is MT CPEs are EXCELLENT :) Arc are my favorite enclosures but Roottennas are good too, just short on looks.
