So having a lot of trouble connecting my xbox to the internet.
It doesn't matter what settings I change, I can manually set up the entire network, port forwarding, upnp, DMZ, it does not matter what I do. The Gateway decides to "help me" and views my xbox as Opt...
Did you reset your network settings on your Xbox to dynamic and get's all it's network info from the router. To me it sounds like you may have old settings on your XBox that don't play well with your current configuration.

Community Power UserIt's not clear what you are trying to do? Under normal circumstance you shouldn't need to do any configuration. Note that if you do have OptikTV certain IP addresses are reserved for that service. Possibly you are attempting to use those for your XBox? I have a few static IP addresses and I started reserving from 192.168.1.100 and above.
I am trying to connect my xbox to the internet through its normal protocols. Thats it. You're absolutely right I shouldn't have to do any configuration, but the modem is overriding any information sent by the console to allow for OptikTV protocols. For example, Xbox Live uses the following ports to communicate:
- Port 88 (UDP)
- Port 3074 (UDP and TCP)
- Port 53 (UDP and TCP)
- Port 80 (TCP)
This should all be figured out from the xbox and the router itself, yes. It doesn't matter the IP address I manually set, and it doesn't matter what port forwarding I set up (telus will NOT allow Port 88 UDP access into their TV system for example, even if I set it up), it will override WHATEVER I set up, and only give me the following:
PORT STATE SERVICE
21/tcp open ftp
1065/tcp open syscomlan
9999/tcp open abyss
All other devices function properly, and are recognized by my network, this particular device works exactly as it should on other networks, but I cannot for the life of me get my Gateway to view it as ANYTHING other than OptikTV.
