Making your game Console the DMZ Host...

[GoVols817]

I know alot of you guys have had issues with connections to certain players, and want to help.

This is a "guide" for people with a Linksys router to make their gaming console have no restrictions, thus will eliminate their connection problems.

1. Type 192.168.1.1 in your web browser. Your username and password should both be "admin", unless you've changed it, and in that case, you don't need this guide.

2. First, ensure your router is set up for DHCP.

3. Next, go to the "status" tab. Now click "local network". Next, choose "DHCP client table".

The IP address WITHOUT a name would be your game console. Write down the last 3 numbers after the final dot.

4. Go to the "administration" tab, disable "UPNP" at the bottom.

5. Next, go to the "applications and gaming" tab. Now click on "DMZ". Click on "enable", then put the 3 numbers you wrote down earlier in the blank. It should be "101", "102", something like that.

Now, your game console has no restrictions at all. Go to your XBOX dashboard, system, do a network test and make sure your NAT is open. If it's not, PM me, email me, or get at me on AIM @ Govols817 and I'll be glad to help you further.

Hope this helps!

He, JTrain and Remus all need it. It helps with any game. I know a couple years ago, Madden on PS2 was hell trying to connect. I NEVER had any problem after doing this.

On a Linksys, the default password is "admin" with no username.

Any clue how to reset your linksys password? I never set up a password and Admin doesn't work, I've tried it with no username, and with Admin as the user name which it starts with by default.

There's a reset button on the back that you have to use a pen to use it. Hold it in for 10 seconds and it should reset it back to no username with the password being admin. That's how I have done it in the past.

Hold the reset button on the back of your router for 30 seconds. It restores it to factory settings.

I guess my main question is, are there any drawbacks to doing this? Does it mess anything up or put your computers at any risk?

No. All of your computers will still fall under the normal filtering rules of your router and will still have their own firewalls.
