hi all... n00b to the 360 scene... finally decided to join the bandwagon last week (halo 3 did the trick)...

anyway... been trying to sign up to xbox live but the sign up service seems to be unavailable for the week (probably because of halo 3 release)... just wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing the same...

thanks...

sign up through xboxlive.com

Hi guys,

new here. Do you guys know of any other shops selling the prepaid card besides gh? they ran out of cards already. i need to get it today. or u guys know of any online shops that can send the code straight away? thanks

Usually the online shops like Play-Asia sends the actual physical cards to you.

hi guys,

in the first page i read that the top-up cards are region-based. i read here sumwhere b4 that it's not, only the gamerpoints cards. can sumone clarify this? thanks.

hi....may i asked xbox360 mod can download arcade games n play offline.....tq

I writing this bcos i really need all the help i could get. Here goes, in my apartment, the landlord is using a Dlink DSL-500T router which is connected to a Dlink DES-1008D switch and my Xbox is connected to the switch, sometimes my NAT is Open and sometimes is Moderate.

How to I make my NAT to Open ? Is the any way to do that ?. Thanks in advance.

basically u need to set a static IP for your 360, and set some port forward settings in the router setup.

I already got a few static IP address liao, the problem is now .. if i need to setup up forward in the router, i have to disconnect everyone in my apartment.

y must u disconnect them? it's just port forward cerain ports nia, no block their access. or issit they also got 360 on LIVE? if that's the case enable UPNP in the router

I have to disconnet them cuz the DSL-500T does not not have any ports on it ... due to this, thats why its connected to the switch hub. All internet access in the apartment is connected to the switch hub. So ... what shud i do ?

don't need to plug-in directly to do it mah... via switch also is fine, no need to mess with ur current network layout. just key in the gateway address in your browser

Now get busy downloading the demos ppl (PGR4 is first priority mmmkay? )

I already did that also ... i keyed in the gateway address into the IE browser and Mozilla browser, both of them i got dead link. When i goto command prompt and type ipconfig, my gateway address is 192.168.1.1.

then i'm sorry, i'm out of suggestions ... as far as i know, connecting through a switch doesn't block the router/modem configuration page. in fact, my modem is chained to 2 switches (the 2nd one also acts as a WiFi access point), i can access the config page from any point in my network, including WiFi.

I'm just curious, can u ping 192.168.1.1?

Be sure that the web browser on your computer is not configured to use a proxy server in the Internet settings. In Windows Internet Explorer, you can check if a proxy server is enabled using the following procedure:
1. In Windows, click on the Start button, go to Settings and choose Control Panel.
2. In the Control Panel window, double-click on the Internet Options icon.
3. Click the Connections tab and click on the LAN Settings button.
4. Verify that the "Use proxy server" option is NOT checked. If it is checked, click in the checked box to deselect the option and click OK.
Alternatively, you can access this Internet Options menu using the Tools pull-down menu in Internet Explorer.

Thanks Silencer ... ill go check it tonight whn i go back home.
