Hi,
I have an old 11b/g Airport (not the Express version), which I use with my MacBook, and which has a LAN port I'd like to use to connect-up my Xbox 360 for online gaming.
The Airport is connected to my ADSL router. At the moment, if I want to go online with my 360, I have to physically swap the Ethernet cable out the back of the router, which is, frankly, a total pain, because my wife can't go online with the MacBook at the same time, and I have to reset the Airport every time I reconnect it to the router.
So... I know that the router plays nice with the 360, because the wired connection works fine when I use it (so the right ports are open in the router). I think I should be able to plug the 360 into the Airport instead, and leave it connected, and be able to go online with MacBook wirelessly at the same time as using the 360. But I can't get it to work.
Has anyone had any luck with setting things up this way? Is there some magic setting in the Airport Admin Utility that I need to change? Do I need to open ports in the Airport as well as the router??
Any/ all help appreciated!
