I also have 2 NAS's, one set as a WINS server, both have iTunes server capabitily, DDNS is pointing to one of them as an FTP server, I am working on setting up a WolfenstienET server on a lite duty machine here as well.

Just swapped all my settings to exactly what you said, testing.. I don't think it's my ISP because I went straight from my modem to my xbox and played for about 4 hours with no issue at all. The problem occurs when I'm on router.

[Corroded]

Logging was the center of my issues.  post upgradeto FW 1.2x,  I could notget more than 2 days before it went unresponsive and needed a hard reboot.

Watch it for a while now that the logging is basically off.

[FurryNutz]

Ok, was going to ask if you had done that. Check for DMZ next and one thing I have seen, sometimes the router just needs to be reset to factory and setup from scratch. Not sure why. Saw it both on mine and my buddies 4500. Even saving the config file doesn't work. I do anyways however it's not to hard or take long to set it up. You get to know that darn menu quickly. I would do a reset to factory and before you start tweeking, get on XBL and see if your seeing the same thing. You shouldn't. I basically walked by buddy thru  the same thing, reset, test then start tweeking. Have you set up any DHCP reservations? It's recommended that you do for Xboxs and gamefuel.

[Stormeh]

Reseting to factory was the first thing I tried, I still had the issue. DMZ on one of them still has the issue. DHCP Reservations? Explain please, if you don't mind.

[FurryNutz]

Hmm..ok, DHCP reservations is telling the router to always give the same IP address to a connected device. Regardless of wired or wireless. If you turn one xbox, go into basic networking and look for the DHCP section. You should see a list of connected or recently connected devices. If you see the xbox listed, there is a Revoke or Reserve button next to the listing on the right side. You can assign any number as long as it doesn't conflict with something else thats reserved or the routers ip address. I try to keep an orderly fashion to the list and addresses, starting at say .2 for your first device. and working up from there. However it doesn't really matter.

Once the xbox is assigned an address, then you can set that IP address up in GameFuel so that gamefuel knows that this address has a game console and should process it as such using the additional parameters seen in gamefuel. Make sure Dynamic Fragmentation is OFF.

Is DNS relay on or off at this point?

[Stormeh]

Ok, everything has a Reservation. DNS Relay is back on, and Dynamic Defragmentation is on... Still changing that. Anything else?

[FurryNutz]

Turn Dynamic Defrag and Advanced DNS to OFF. Hmm. Turn off WISH and If your not using Protected WiFi, I would turn Protected WiFi Off. Not sure what else after this. Hmm. I presume that ur cables are good cables too? Can check them if you can. Try a different one to be.

[Stormeh]

Trying all of that, wish me luck.

[FurryNutz]

Good luck. I would do a reset or power cycle of everything just to make sure everything is clear. When you get back can you copy and paste a sample of ur logs and stats too? Be interesting to see if your dropping packets on the LAN/WAN side. You shouldn't see much but a few maybe. Wireless you'll see alot.
Also, how is the Internet setup for you? I had to enter my primary and secondary addresses into my 4500. And I presume that ur xbox is directly connected to the 4500 Lan Ports? Anything in between by chance? Just chkg. 

[FurryNutz]

The next thing I might try as a test is to turn off Gaming and GameFuel. See if there is any change. If ur still getting dropped, then wondering if there is a HW issue with the 4500. Having 4 xboxs on and going, wouldn't surprise me if something happened but honestly, it should work well for a long period of time. You use all 4 at the same time or sporadically at the same time?

During this testing time. Are you using the 4500 with any other devices connected and going or are you just testing with one xbox connected and everything else disconnected?

[FurryNutz]

Headed home from work will get on soon as I get home chk on ya.

[Stormeh]

hey sorry man got busy, do you think you could AIM me or MSN me sometime tomorrow so I can try and set this straight? Thanks.

[FurryNutz]

No Prob, sent you a PM on here. Hope to chat tomorrow.

These steps fixed my issue. Thank you so much FurryNutz
