Ik kon dit nerges vinden dus ga me niet afzeiken. Ik heb een Alcatel Speedtouchconnection modem. Die heeft een ethernetpoort voor de telefoonkabel en een USB poort voor aansluiten op de pc. Hoe kan ik die aansluiten op m'n Xbox? Ik heb op internet gelezen dat het via de pc kan, maar dat wil ik niet en ik heb geen XP (wat vereist is).
Ik heb geen zin om die (***) XP moet installeren. Dan krijg ik weer problemen met expllorer enzo, ik heb al genoeg problemen met m'n pc. De pc en de dichtsbijzijnde tv zijn 1 verdieping verwijdert. Ik heb geen zin om een tv in een studeerkamer te zetten en daar te gaan gamen. Er is daar niet eens een tv-aansluiting dus kan ik daar ook geen tv kijken. Ik wil gewoon bij m'n Xbox gamen en niet via een pc (lees: Ik heb er niet veel verstand van dus geen zin in dat geneuzel)
Ik heb nog een USB (WAN) router gevonden (http://practicallynetworked.com/review.asp?pid=427) Draytek Vigor 2200 USB Router Author: Doug Kerfoot Review Date: 1/24/2002 Model: Vigor2200USB $139 direct price As DSL providers increasingly turn to "self-installation" kits to lower the cost of entry into a competitive market, USB modems are becoming increasingly popular. If you have one of these units and wish to add a hardware router, you only have one choice: the Draytek Vigor2200USB. Fortunately, the Vigor is a well-designed unit featuring four 10/100 Base-T ports, NAT, IP packet filtering firewall, DMZ and VPN. The Vigor 2200USB is a solid performer in this new category. Pros: Finally, a router available for USB-based WAN connections Basic setup is quick and easy Strong feature set Cons: Advanced configuration is complex Currently only available for use with a few modems When ADSL service was finally made available in my area, I jumped at the chance to order a self-install kit. To my surprise, when the box arrived, it contained an Alcatel Speed Touch USB modem. Instead of installing a network interface card (NIC) into my computer, I simply had to plug the modem into a USB port. The simplicity of installation certainly makes sense from the point of view of an ISP's support department, but I soon discovered the downside. There was no way to connect a hardware router to the USB-based DSL modem for sharing an Internet connection with multiple computers unless you go the software route with ICS or a product like WinProxy -- at least until now. Taiwan-based Draytek makes the first router specifically designed for USB DSL modems. Distributed by Best Systems Direct for $139 in the US, the Vigor2200USB currently supports only the Alcatel Speed Touch, the ECI USB modem, the Fujitsu FDX-310 USB modems, though it seems only the Alcatel is in serious use in the United States. Draytek is testing the Vigor2200USB with others USB-based DSL modems including the Efficient Networks 4060 USB DSL modem. So far, there's no information on whether the Vigor2200USB will work with any of the USB connections from satellite systems such as DirecWay or StarBand. Setup Basic setup of the Vigor2200USB was quick and easy. My total install time was about 20 minutes from the time I opened the box until I was connected to the Web. The first step was to upload the modem firmware into router. I ran the USB Modem Firmware utility from the Windows Start Menu and select the modem to get it done. ConfigureSecond, I used the Web-browser to enter my ISP's name and a username and password. Then I connected the USB modem to one of the USB ports on the rear panel of the router and the firmware automatically uploaded to the modem. That's it! The router is secure right out of the box. All that remained for the basic set-up was to connect additional computers to the 10/100BaseT Switch ports. Unfortunately, the easy-to-use wizards end with the basic setup. More advanced setups are much more complicated. The details are beyond the scope of this review, but if you know what you are doing, you have control over Dynamic DNS, Call Scheduling, NAT, Static Routing and IP Filter/Firewall settings. If you don't already know what you are doing, don't expect the detailed user manual to help you much. Basic Features The Vigor2200USB includes a full range of features: 4 port 10/100 switch, virtual private networking (VPN), built-in firewall and packet filter, network address translation (NAT), dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP), dynamic domain name system (DNS), de-militarized zone (DMZ), port forwarding and more. The router comes with a Quick start guide, power adapter, Ethernet LAN cable and a CD-ROM. The CD-ROM contains a detailed user manual and firmware installation utilities. Front Panel There are eleven LEDs on the front panel: ACT (Activity) Blinks when power is supplied to the router and the router is running normally. DSL ON when the DSL modem is active. USB-1 and USB-2 ON when the DSL modem is ready. Blinking when there is data transferring between the Vigor2200USB and the DSL modem. LINK-1 and LINK-2 ON when the PPP connection of the DSL modem is active. VPN ON when the VPN function is active. P1, P2, P3, P4 (LAN) ON when a network card or hub is connected - green for 100 Mbps connection, amber for 10 Mbps connection. Back Panel The Vigor2200USB has a reset button, a power jack, four 10/100Base-T RJ-45 switch ports, an Uplink button, and 2 USB ports. The extra USB port may someday be used for things like analog modem backup, but currently it has no function. IP Filter/Firewall IP FirewallThe IP filter/firewall uses a 'set' and 'rule' system, where one event can trigger additional actions. This provides good flexibility, but at the expense of ease of use. DHCP From the Web interface you can enable/disable and specify the number of IP addresses to allocate from a start point. You can also assign static IP addresses. VPN You can create a Virtual Private Networking connection to another Vigor2200USB. This creates a secure, encrypted 'tunnel' between the two hosts. The primary downside of VPN connections between ADSL connections is that they operate at the much slower "upload" speed (typically 128 - 256 kbps). Performance Because of the USB interface of this router, there is no Ethernet WAN connection. Therefore, I was unable to run our normal suite of tests on this unit. Instead, we decided to compare the throughput of the modem alone, to the modem/router combination. I tested a 768kbps/128kbps connection using DSL Reports' speed test tool. I ran each combination three times at two different test locations, resulting in two surprises. First, the router noticeably improved the download performance of the modem. Secondly, the router slightly improved the upload performance to one location, while significantly degrading the upload performance to the other site. Test Description DOWNLOAD SPEED (kbps) UPLOAD SPEED (kbps) with router no router with router no router MegaPath Connection 622 612 131 127 LinkLine Connection 624 612 70 127 Average 623 612 101 127 So what do these results mean? To try to get a clearer performance picture, I tested the router/no router combination again by transferring a 3,189KB MP3 file via FTP. This time, the router nearly doubled the download throughput, while slightly improving the upload throughput. The increased throughput is most likely because the router takes some of the load off of the older Cyrix M2 300MHZ desktop that I used. Test Description DOWNLOADS UPLOADS with router no router with router no router Elapsed time (seconds) 51 101 209 218 Sustained Throughput 62.5 31.6 15.3 14.6 Obviously, this router doesn't just help. It helps a lot. Summary If you have one of the supported USB modems and are looking for a hardware router, the Vigor2200USB is the only choice you have as of this writing (January 2002). Even so, its ease of use, extensive feature set, reasonable price and especially the performance benefits it can provide make it a great buy.
deze router is de beste oplossing voor jouw modem! Ik had dit al gepost in een ander document maar je hebt nu de info waar je deze kan kopen is 1 groot ? en het is niet duidelijk of M$ deze ondersteund... anders zit je toch vast aan ICS (internet connection sharing)
Bedankt. Wel duur, ik hoopte dat er een soort kastje was waar je een USB kabel instopt en die het over zet in Ethernet. Dat zal er wel niet in zitten.
Waar lees jij dat XP vereist is? Ik heb XBConnect geprobeerd met een windows 98 pc met een alcatel usb modem (niet die van jou maar enkel usb) en die via een hub aan de xbox gekoppelt, werkt prima. Ik neem dan aan dat Live ook prima gaat werken. Dus ik zou gewoon eens proberen je xbox aan je pc te koppelen (met of zonder hub). Trouwens, mijn xbox staat ook een verdieping lager. Succes
Ik heb het niet over XBconnect. Op de xbox live site staat dat voor een ICS connectie XP verreist is.
Dan had ik het verkeerd begrepen. Maar letterlijk van die site: "Xbox Live is supported through Windows ICS for Windows XP, Windows Me, Windows 2000 Professional, and Windows 98 SE" Zie deze pagina onderaan: http://www.xbox.com/LIVE/connect/windowsics.htm Ik geloof er niks van dat XP vereist is voor XBOX LIVE Groet
