Do I have to have a gold membership??

[amjadabbas]

I want to download the King Kong demo but can't see it on the Live Marketplace. Currently I've only Silver membership. Do I have to have Gold membership to download it???:?

[Rival24]

After Microsoft found out it was too buggy they removed it from the marketplace (only after a couple of hours after it's release).

[Nino]

No gold account needed to download stuff, it's removed as Rival said :)

[amjadabbas]

thanx guyz...
as microsoft says some services or features, other than online games playing, on xbox live are exclusive for Gold Members..that's why i thought maybe this demo is only for Gold members!!

i hope they fix it soon and put it back on live marketplace!

[Curry]

Tsk didn't you use our search function (http://www.xboxic.com/index.php?s=king+kong+demo&submit=) :P

[TRIGGER M4N]

From what I believe, Silver can do everything that Gold can do, except play multiplayer online, and take part in Tournements and such.
But, still - You need gold!

And as for King-Kong, it's an OK game, me - I give it 7.0/10 (Thats only because you can play as Kong)

you could probably find the oxm demo disc with king kong for a few dollars on ebay if you really wanted the demo

I have a quick question. I made a silver account for my roommate on my 360, now last night he went and finally bought one for himself. Now here is the problem when he try's to sign in it automatically signs me out I was thinking since he is on my XBL gold account, would he need to make a new gamer tag or can I just take him off my account.


I have got to get him online so he will stop playn my 360 until 5:00 am every night.

Or could someone give me the xbox customer service # I cant pull up xbox.com here at work.

From my knowledge, you have to make a new account, but I am only about 80% sure, the xbox (USA) number is 1-800-4MY-XBOX

I assume you want the American number, not the Canadian or British one?

okay i just talked to Xbox and they said I need to increase my MTU? Im thinking this has something to do with my router.

I have a cheep ass linksys router should I just go and get a good router or just increase the mtu what ever that is...

OK, I can't help you on that specific bit, unfortunatly.

Maybe one of the Xboxic crew can help out or try checking out the Wiki, that has some really good info on almost anything.

thanks man!!!

If there's one thing that helped me is putting the DMZ forwarding to the IP of the Xbox360. So look in you router (linksys isn't a bad router) and look for DMZ and put it to the IP Adress from the Xbox360

when you say put it to the ip do you mean make my ip address and DMZ the same? Sorry I not this is abit new to me!

Hell it cost me $450 US to get the BestBuy Geek swad to hook my wireless router in my GF home. For about 1hrs worth of work.

You are a GOD }) among men _o_

$450!?!?!?!? i'm applying for the geek squad tonight!!

[Rival24]

You should start a gamesite, you earn way more! :+

[Ponder416]

Okay I need MORE help, does anybody know someone who has two 360 in the same house and play them online? Xbox told me it might be possible, but my router manufacturer said it was impossible because we are using the same IP.

[TRIGGER M4N]

Now, that is bulls***
You can play with more than 1 X360 connected to the same router, all you need is more RJ-45's. Plug them in, away you go.
Infact we play with 3 hooked up.
This is of course, if your router has more than one RJ-45 socket, and if you have more than one Gamertag.

Anymore help Ponder?

[Ponder416]

Thanks, I just could imagine that there isn’t anybody playing more than one 360 in a house hold.

But anyway I going to buy the router that Xbox recommends and try and see if this helps.

[yortgeorge]

I would have setup your wireless network for half of that cost.

[yortgeorge]

Hey man... I'm in Jackson and I have an extra router you could test with. Do you have the wireless usb adapter for both of the xboxes? It's a linksys wireless G

[Ponder416]

No shit you’re in Jackson? “It’s a small world after all” That’s cool. When I get home I’m going to send you a friend’s request.

I got the wireless for my Xbox but my roommate doesn’t. I was wondering if I used wireless and he went wired would that make a difference.

[yortgeorge]

No that should not make any difference. Your router acts as a dhcp server and should assign a different IP address to each of the xboxes. It does not make a difference how they physically connect. By the way... you say Xbox support told you to increase the MTU size... thats BS. Your router should default to the max MTU. You seem to be getting the first level support guys that don't know what they are doing and are just trying to tell you something to get off the phone.

[Ponder416]

Thats what Ive been think the hole time. Everytime I talk to someone be it from Xbox or Linksys they always tell me different stories.

After an hour of tryn to change the MTU size I finally realized it was at its max setting. (1500)

Think I'm going with the Linksys: WRT54GS v2.

[Curry]

The Linksys should be fine :)

As for the "multiple Xboxes per IP", they do have a small point in saying "it's not possible". Ofcourse you can have multiple boxes on the same IP via a router, but only one of them can have open NAT configured through port forwarding. The other ones will have limited online play capacities because of this: you won't be able to connect to games hosted by people with strict or moderate NAT.

[Ponder416]

Jesus this is melting my brain...GRRRRR...Should I buy the router or just forget the whole thing I don’t want to spend $100 on something and it not work.

What is NAT?

Thanks Curry, but I can’t believe your answering post on your vacation/fun in the sun/hobby knobbing with the Xbox big shots.

[Ponder416]

this needs to be deleted. thank you have a nice day.

could someone delete this post.
This (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_address_translation) is NAT :P

[TRIGGER M4N]

Curry, we have had 3 set up since launch, not one problem.

[yortgeorge]

That would be true except you are not doing port forwarding. Port forwading is used for connections coming from the internet back into your internal network (IF you were hosting a web site or mail server you could not port forward http to 2 different internal servers). The xbox (or multiple xboxes) initiate the connection from your internal network. The router/fw would then perform port translation using your external (global) ip address. The return traffic would match up with the translation tables created on traffic and be directed to the same xbox that initiated the connection.

[Ponder416]

man you guys are to smart for me..lol

I'll just get the router and see what happens...Cross your fingers...

Oh and yortgeorge if I come into problems I hope you have a 24hr service!!!!lol

[Ponder416]

Sorry for the double post!

I got it to WORK finally it was my router. Thanks for the help guy's!!!!

[Curry]

Thanks Curry, but I can’t believe your answering post on your vacation/fun in the sun/hobby knobbing with the Xbox big shots.
I think I posted that one on Kuala Lumpur International Airport waiting for my transfer ;)

And cheers that you got it working :)
