The sheer frustration that is my router and trying to get it to comply with my wireless adapter.

Everytime I try to log on, my Xbox tells me that it can't obtain an IP. When I attempt to enter a static IP, it says that it can't work with static IP.

I called Linksys and they told me that I needed to "open ports", though, my router is not under warranty anymore so I would have to pay them a hefty fine in order for them to help me. I declined, and the guy referred me to a webpage on the Linksys website, I can't find any info regarding my router and XBL setup.

Anyways, I looked around online, and found a thread on here that listed the ports that needed to be forwarded and also listed an MTU setting. I entered in this information, restarted my router and modem, still no cigar.

I REALLY don't know what to do.

My router is a WRT54GS by Linksys. I also tried upgrading the firmware, but couldn't figure that out either. I downloaded a .bin file via the linksys webpage... no idea what to do with that kind of file.

Hope you guys can help...

If you do a search I have listed the settings for a Linksys several times.
If you can't find it let me know I will write them put again. Linksys change thier phone support about year ago. Now they want to charge you the same amount it would cost for a new router.
