Re: Qwest DSL - terrible xbox live performance said by PixelFreak:Do a search on this forum for the dreaded "I" word and let us know if that describes your issue. Interleave = latency. My Xbox Live sessions is where I felt it most. YMMV. PixelFreak Whoa whoa whoa - I think my post should have been phrased better because it seems that he latched onto the "i" word without doing ANY investigation.
OK, I was pointing out the interleave issue to see "if that describes [his] issue" - not to simply blame it without investigation and then stick with that answer.
The OP should try it wired, with the latest firmware and give us some type of feedback. Without that first, we can't even begin to troubleshoot the connection and offer proper insight.
Evidently, get the interleave issue out of your head for now and do some decent LAN troubleshooting first. If the troubleshooting points us to something else that we CAN change, even better. But let's get the basics down first:
1) Update your firmware (if not latest)
2) Wire your connection directly to the Actiontec
3) Try out the same games, keeping in mind performance at the start compared to performance later on in the session
4) Post some traceroutes from your other computers on the LAN to give us an idea of what your routes look like.
With than information, we should hopefully be able to point you in the right direction. Again, the interleave recommendation was for you to INVESTIGATE and compare, not simply blame and abandon. For your sake, we all hope it ISN'T the interleave causing this poor performance.
HTH,

| I haven't yet tried plugging in directly to the Actiontec modem, I'll try that today. And, I don't use Actiontec's wireless, I use a linksys WRTG54 I believe?
How do I set up the DMZ and which ports should I forward to the 360? |

Seattle, WA | Make sure your internal network is working ok first, post some tracert's or pings from your computer to your xbox first. |

said by desistyle3:How do I set up the DMZ and which ports should I forward to the 360? If you are putting the Xbox in the DMZ, you don't forward any ports - that's the point of putting it in the DMZ, all ports are open to that machine that are not entered into the NAT table or updated via UPnP.
Make sure you have the linksys firmware updated as well - I had a linksys kill my performance on Xbox Live because I was about two firmware revisions behind. It's easy to do - just get the version number you have now and compare it with your model number on the Linksys website (under support/firmware) and see if you are up to snuff.
Also, I am not sure, but I don't think the Xbox will respond to a 'ping' request by default. Someone correct me if I am wrong?
