Hmmm...I'm not sure...unless it has a built in firewall that you have to disable for some reason....not sure.

Are you sure you have it hooked up correctly?

From your Modem, you have to use a CAT 5 patch cable (not crossover) and link it into the uplink port on the router. Then, from an available port on the router, use another CAT 5 patch cable and plug it into your ethernet card on your CPU. Then, from another available port, use another CAT 5 patch cable and plug the other end into your XBox. It should work fine.

What sort of router is it?
