I'm trying to connect to Xbox Live using my 3G connection. I can download the maketplace contents. But I have some problem with my NAT setting. Currently the status of the NAT is "strict" which means I can only connected to those who are "Open". I've googled the web and found the setting (port forwarding) but it is for routers that is connected to ADSL modem. have anyone come across the setting on 3G phones. I hope i can forward the ports since my Xbox Live and P2P is having some problem because of the NAT problem.

yup. u need a 3G Router such as Linksys WRT54G3G in order to forward the ports in correctly.
port forwarding works flawlessly in this router..

wah so cool. use 3g to go LIVE.

Good luck.

Wow..its dangerous..make sure it is not a celcom 3g ..as the unlimited package is only applicable for browsing function...but I can't imagine how much they will charge u if u use it for downloading purposes..as from the live market...trust me...i've been through it...darn celcom...

'NUFF SAID

u must be miss it up something if celcom going to charge u thought..
i'm using celcom 3G unlimited package currently...
celcom only charged me RM88 monthly.
no problem for xblive connections, it can download the content via 3G..

1. Unlimited access means unlimited data usage, for browsing, downloading, streaming, FTP access, P2P file sharing, VPN access, etc.

2. 3G Unlimited package includes all data traffic transmitting and receiving from either 3G or GSM (GPRS) sites. No additional charges if your connection falls back to GPRS.

3. Unlimited package means you enjoy free access to Internet sites, except downloads from provider's WAP portal.

If you access from your phone (use phone as a modem), dial *99# or *99***1# or *99***3# (for motorola) to direct your connection to packet network. If you dial local access number or other short code, you're accessing Internet using GSM (CSD) network. 3G Unlimited only covers data access via packet network (GPRS, 3G) or HSDPA during trial period.

No matter which telco you're subscribed to, the mechanics are in fact the same. Do not assume once you've signed up for Unlimited Data Plan, immedately after you signed and submitted the form, your Unlimited account is activated. It might take days or weeks, depending on your account credit limit or your outstanding balance before they can active Unlimited service for you.

So before you enjoy using the service, give them a call, to their customer service consultant, to check if your Unlimited Data Package has already been activated. That's the only way to save yourself out of trouble

Really? Just called the celcom careline..and they said that the unlimited access is only valid for data access but not downloading which is data bytes-dependant. Good for you if they just charge u RM88 per month without any additional charges, but I just want others to be cautious here, and my advise for them to reconfirm with the celcom careline..if the unlimites features cover both BROWSING and DOWNLOADING... correct me if I'm wrong here

what i understand from what the customer service said to me is the usage is unlimited. as long as i don't download the content. the content is chargeable. i haven't receive the latest bill. i hope they nothing goes wrong coz i download so many thing using 3G. i even download using torrent using my 3G connection

ermm how fast is the 3g connection ? as fast as our stupid streamyx ?

it's around 380kbps. for me better than streamyx because no congestion. seems not so many people using it.

izaman.....its not my intention to scare u...but anything that u download is charged according to the bytes sizes....even if it is an attachment of your e-mail..... I advise you to reconfirm it with the celcom careline, as I don want u to go throgh the same experience that I've been through before which made me terminating the unlimited subscription....

ok....i will try to reconfirm with careline. thanks for your advise

izaman, no worry lar. as long as ur r confirmed unlimited package from celcom careline. but it's better safe than sorry...wait ur 1st bill.

yup..agreed with u. although celcom3G is 384Kbps. but i felt that much better than my current 512Kbps of streamyx..

confirm. nothing bad happen. although my bill extraordicary high (RM280), everything is justified:

RM80 - minutes plan
RM99 - activation
RM99 - for unlimited plan
