Okay.

I need a little help here, so if anyone can give me any I'd really appreciate it :P

Recently I'd been trying to play games with other people on my Xbox360 but found that sometimes I could connect, and sometimes I couldn't. We then found out that the NAT is strict.

I then looked into finding out about how to open the NAT and did so, however when I went into the router settings I noticed that I couldn't access the Xbox IP.

Now we've realised that its because my other half is using a Linksys router as the switch without knowing how to change any of the settings.

Last night I tried following a site to change the Subnet to the same as the first router and turning off the DHCP on the second router. Which all worked fine. I had internet access on my laptop (which I'd turned wireless off and connected directly through the second router).

Now the problem I've run into is the Xbox's wont connect to the internet. I've tried automatic ip settings etc and it doesn't even connect to the network, but if I manually change the settings it connects to the network but doesn't have any internet connection.

Does anyone know why this is or can anyone give me a good idea of what I need to put into the xbox settings to make it connect to the network and internet.

This is what my layout looks like:

First Router - 192.168.0.1
DHCP - Enabled 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.200

Second Router - 192.168.0.235
DHCP - Disabled

Xbox 360 Settings -

IP Address - 192.168.0.103
Subnet Mask - 255.255.255.0
Gateway - 192.168.0.235 (also tried 0.1)

DNS - Same DNS as what the first router says it is.


Anyone have any idea where I'm going wrong?
