The WAN connection supports 8 Mbps because of the physical restrictions placed on broadband connections. 58 Chapter 7 Troubleshooting Will my Xbox work with the Modem?You will need to set a static IP address on the Xbox in the Xbox live network settings, and forward ports 3074 (both UDP and TCP), 53 (both UDP and TCP), and 88 (UDP) if you run into DSL resolution errors. You can find a link to the firmware site under "Utilities" in the Web-based configurator (see page 53). Is there something special I need to do to make it work in both places?You must reconfigure your network settings, including Workgroup, Domain, Password, User name, IP addressing, and any other specific settings used by your company. You may also use third-party software like NetSwitcher to automatically switch between different configurations. The valid IP range for the Modem is 192. 168. 0. 2 to 192. 168. 0. 254 by default.

Some games require ports to be forwarded to host or join games over the Internet. For a Web server, enable port forwarding for port 8080 to the IP address of the server and set up the Web server to receive on that port, as well. (Configuring the server for static IP address use is recommended. ) For an FTP server, enable port forwarding for port 21 to the IP address of the server.
