Help with 360 networking, please.?
ISP:comcast, Ambit u10c018.80 modem, using 2wire 2701hg-b router. All connections wired. Vista.
When I am only connected locally through the router and have my modem disconnected I am able to access the router via 192.168.1.254 and set the firewall to allow access to the 360. I have all the media sharing rights I need, just one problem. When I connect my modem to the router it changes the IP of the pc from a standard 192.168.x.x to one such as 68.53.23.xx.
When this happens, I am no longer able to navigate to 192.168.1.254 (router config) the new address the router has, similar to the new pc IP above does not work either. The PC "sees" the 360, however when tring to get on live or media share the 360 will not connect to the computer. When mapping the network it shows the PC and 360 behind a switch, which leads to the gateway and finally the internet. I get a MTU error when trying to connect to live and a general "make sure all cables are connected Blah Blah" message when trying to connect to the computer. I have internet access on the PC no prob.
I have the router set to allow the 360, which it does when my modem (internet access) is disconnected. Any help would be appreciated.
(to clear some possible confusion on the 2wire modem/router: It was originally used as my dsl modem/router when i had ATT however now I am using comcast cable and simply using the router part of this equipment.)

your router is probably configuring its self to match your modem if you dont like it doing that then set the router to a static ip address instead of automatic and you may have to manually set a bunch of other values as well such as dns for your modem. you may want to write down the original values from the automatic setting before you change them.
another thing that might be your problem is make sure the cable from the modem is plugged into the wan port on your router not one of the numbered ports other wise it turns into a switch, and is automatically configured to the modem. hope this helps
