[Discuss] Router Video connection problem.

[Gary Gauthier]

Brij,

Is it possible to try this?

Shaw<--->DLink<---->XP box
                       |---->Linksys<---->Xbox

Just a thought, but my setup is somewhat similar.

Mine:

Shaw<--->Linksys<-->client#1
                          |---->client#2
                          |---->wirelessclient#1<---->xbox(connected via
ICS)
                          |---->wirelessclient#2

Ttyl, Gary
