hi, im thinking of bringing my xbox 360 with me onto campus for next term.

Just wondering whether i will be able to play online on xbox live?

does anyone have any info on this?

a quick google search says the ports required are:

UDP 88
UDP 3074
TCP 3074

don't if that helps at all...

ta

if it needs ports ... then ... fuck knows. ask him
is that piece of crap only worth playing online ? is singleplayer that crap ? does it even do single player ?!

Ports tend to be only required if you are hosting games rather than simply connecting to servers to join in. One would hope that they didn't create the thing then require everybody using it to learn how to do port forwarding

(In other words I can't see a reason why it wouldn't work having thought about it)

though we are talking about ITS (ie Gestapo rule and highly incompetent) so (1) the network may not be able to handle a game play connection, with lag simplying meaning that u keep loosing the connection to the game. (2) the traffic shaper may for some odd reason think u're p2p data and therefore slow it down. thus causing a time-out on ur game

Basically don't have high hopes and also remember u'll need to plug out ur computer (laptop or desktop) as u cannot have a router or switch in ur room. This all said try it and it may just work, though you may have to live with loosing connection in the middle of a game etc.

It works, enough said

Hmm, 1 year old post Well done indeed Ad

the one year old post can be viewed by millions of people and it saves them trawling through the rants listed above.......

ok

i have an xbox 360 and it only worked when i plugged it in
