Xbox Live on RB433

RouterOS General
1

Hello,
I have several RB433 v5.19 routerboards with the following setup.

eth1 - WAN interface
eth2,eth3,wlan1 - on bridge1
DHCP server on bridge1
Hotspot configured on Bridge
hotspot authentication to remote RADIUS server.
NAT masquerate on eth1

The users connect to the RB433 and authenticate and internet access is good. If any users have an Xbox, PS3, etc.. I get the MAC address of the gaming station and create and IP Binding for that MAC. This works well, the Xbox can access the internet but the problem comes when they try to use Xbox Live, the Xbox gives them the error that they have limited capabilities for Xbox live due to the internet connection and give a status of NAT moderate. I have been reading some articles on the forum about this but the ones I’ve read seem to have the Xbox with a static ip address. Are there ports I need to open for Xbox live for mutiple gaming stations? Or can I just enable UPNP on the bridge? Thanks for any help.

I’m not sure this will help, but have you tried disabling the hotspot nat?

/ip hotspot
set 0 address-pool=none

I have enabled UPNP for both internal and external interfaces. I did not change any other settings on the firewall. On most XBox gaming stations this works, but there are still one or two that this does not work for, they still get the message that the NAT is moderate. Strange that it is working on some XBox stations but not all. Any other settings I could be missing. Thanks for any help.

Try Enabling UPnP under IP-> UPnP.

The port forwarding will only work for one Xbox at a time.

If that doesn’t work port forward

Port 88 (UDP)
Port 3074 (UDP and TCP)
Port 53 (UDP and TCP)
Port 80 (TCP)

to the xbox360 by using a dstnat like the one below:

/ip firewall nat add chain=dstnat action=dst-nat to-addresses=192.168.0.162 to-ports=88 protocol=udp in-interface=ether1-gateway dst-port=88

/ip firewall nat add chain=dstnat action=dst-nat to-addresses=192.168.0.162 to-ports=3074 in-interface=ether1-gateway dst-port=3074

The router boards all have an internal IP address pre-programed onto the boards, I would guess that you can access the configuration by opening your web browser on an attached computer to http://192.168.88.1, user name is Admin password is blank. This webpage will allow you to download a copy of the WinBox utility which is the easiest way to manage the router board. If the routerboard is not at the default IP address download a copy of winbox from the Mikrotik website and use its connect to browse function to connect via mac address.

SMB settings for hosting a SMB server on the routerboard is at IP-> SMB in winbox.

Also If the router board has a proper firewall configuration it should not be accessible from an internet IP unless you specifically need that functionality.

Ok thank you Sir,

But i think it was used earlier also by other company colleague, and i have download the WINBOX.

and as if i connect the router box with it, it gives message the password is incorrect.

that default password empty: its changeable or fixed?

or if i reset it, will that password will be reset?

total new task for me, I am new to networking please help me out of it.

need to configure my RB433AH as our NAS server.

thanks

The admin password is changeable. If no one knows the password you will have to perform a reset. When you rest the password will be changed back to nothing, however all configuration will also be changed back to the default. The attachment is the official guide that comes with the router board telling you the default configs.

CTrain,
I have enabled UPNP on the RB433. This is a college apartment building and several of the students have Xbox 360’s, is there a way to get the port forwarding to work for all of them without knowing their private IP Addresses? Thanks.

Not that I am aware of, other than possible enabling UPnP under IP-> UPnP

CTrain,
When I enable UPnP do I need to just enable it, or do I need to pick interfaces? I have tried interfaces as follows:

internal → bridge1 - which is eth2,eth3,wlan1
external → eth1 - which is WAN connection and has static public IP assigned to it.

Thanks for the help
