How do I set up my Zoom ADSL X5, X4 or X3 and Xbox 360 with a wired (Ethernet) connection?

You must assign a static IP address on the Xbox 360 that is outside of the Zoom ADSL router's DHCP pool. Also, the Xbox 360 must be in a DMZ. This will prevent the firewall of the router from blocking connections to the Xbox 360.

1. Assign a Static IP address on the Xbox 360 console:
   • Power on your Xbox 360 and go to the System area.
   • Select Network Settings and then Edit Settings.
   • Select IP Settings. The Edit IP Settings screen opens.
   • Select Manual and then enter the following settings:
     • IP Address: 10.0.0.150 (or any 10.0.0.x IP address, where x is between 100 and 250)
     • Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
     • Gateway: 10.0.0.2
   • Select Done, to go back to the Edit Settings screen.
   • Select DNS Settings. The Edit DNS Settings screen opens.
   • Select Manual and then enter the following setting:
     • Primary DNS Server: 10.0.0.2
     • It is not necessary to enter a Secondary DNS Server.
   • Select Done.
   • Power off your Xbox 360.
2. Access the Zoom Configuration Manager:
   • From a computer that is connected to the Zoom X6, open a web browser and type http://10.0.0.2 in the address line and then press Enter (or Return).
   • Enter the User Name and Password (in lowercvase letters):
     • User Name: admin
     • Pasword: zoomadsl (where "l" is a lowercase letter L)
3. Create a NAT Rule to put the Xbox 360 on a DMZ:
   • In the Zoom Configuration Manager, click on the Advanced Setup icon at the top of the page.
   • Click the NAT button.
   • From the NAT Options pull-down menu, select NAT Rule Entry.
   • Click the Add button. A new window opens.
   • Enter the following information:
     • Rule Flavor: Select RDR
     • Rule ID: enter 5 or any number that is not already listed. (Note: Depending on your modem model, you may have up to 4 default rules, so the next one is 5.)
     • If Name: Select All
     • Protocol: Select ANY
     • Local Address From: Enter 10.0.0.150 (or whichever Static IP address you selected per Step 1)
     • Local Address To: Enter the same 10.0.0.150 IP address as above
     • Global Address From: 0.0.0.0
     • Global Address To: 0.0.0.0
     • Destination Port From: 0 (zero)
     • Destination Port To: 65535
     • Local Port: Enter 0 (zero)
     • Click on the Save Changes button
     • Click on the Write Settings to Flash button

4. Power on the Xbox 360 and test the Xbox Live connection

   • Power the Xbox 360 back on.
   • Go to the System area.
   • Select Network Settings.
   • Select Test Xbox Live Connection. If everything is configured correctly, all the tests will show Pass.
5. Congratulations! You can now enjoy your Xbox 360 with Xbox Live.
