Can anyone help me please? I know there might be some port forwarding to do, but i dont know where to start!

Try turning on UPnP if its available.

I take it you have tried setting up you 360 as a DMZ?

That is what I have always done (ie with xbox and 360) and it seems more reliable that way.

search and you will find the ports you need to forward...avoid DMZ is the last resort!

Yes I had the same problem with Be Unlimited. This is what you need t do:
Open Network Connections
Right click on the icon on your gateway & go properties
Click Setting
Click Add
Name Xbox(192.168.1.6X:3074) 3074 UDP
IP: 192.168.1.6X
Port: 3074 UDP
Port: 3074 UDP

Ok

x signifies the number for your IP address for 360 & I already know you are on the Be network so it will mostlikely be 64 or 65. this will work. I also advise that on xbox you let it know to always use this Ip it will save you ahving to enter all this in if IP switches

When i download demo's, half way through i get a message saying the download could not be completed. It basically pauses itself or something. Its not the NAT, its open.

And i've got the screensaver disabled. What else could it be?

[AVRocky]

Lately, i've been getting disconnected quite frequently..like every 30minutes. But this time, after i was disconnected i noticed that the Gateway Icon had dissapeared when its always there.

It's a problem because im having trouble using my Xbox. Can anyone help?

Once again as politely as I can try searching the forums before posting

All the information / trouble shooting steps you can try are available this way.

You have joined my world of frustration with Be. I ahve spent endless hours on the phone with India (i.e their tech team). I have even gone to the extent of buying a wifi card (to no avail) & formatting my c: drive then windows). They have been of no help but I will part some of my wisdom that had resulted in me pulling all my hair out & now I am bold!!

1. Update the lan drivers on your pc
2. On usb you will have more consistent connection
3. Right click on your lan icon for router...disable....then enable (works a treat)
4. On your lan icon enter manual DNS...I have the setting at home but u can phone them for it
5. Same on usb if using usb
6. Stop using file sharing cos that's when the problems arose for me
7. If you call them they will say that they are putting you on a more stable connection which basically means they will put you on an ADSL line instead of ADSL2+

Do point 1. then 4 then 3 & you should be okay...if all else fails after this, reset the router with a pin holding it till the power light goes red & the other lights switch off (par from the light that shows connection with pc & 360 if on) & see what happens.

Disabling & then enabling is very effective to regain connection

by the way you need to forward the following ports:-

It's ports 3074 (both TCP & UDP) and 88 UDP you need!

try this first as it's quickest. (nearly as quick as searching for "port forwarding" on this forum)
