Read This First!!!!! If you have ports forwarded to your Xbox you want those ports to go to the right IP address. Your router is not necessarily going to give the xbox the same IP everytime. The best way to fix your IP is through your router, but you can also configure your xbox to accomplish the same thing manually. I don’t mention this in the video but change the IP address to something outside the DHCP range. Most likely something higher than 149 so make the last number in the IP address higher than 149 that way your router will not give another device your xbox’s IP address. Make sure you go back into your router and change the ip your ports are going to, to match your new IP. For more info visit my blog about this subject. www.blogiversity.org
