Sonicwall TZ 210 wireless-N and using XBox 360. Also, the SSID is not found on scanning but I see it on my iphone and laptops
I have 3 Xbox 360's and all work ok but I am having a problem with a STRICT NAT.
I want to open up all ports on the router for all of my 360s. I know their MAC addresses.
How can I setup a rule that would allow ALL devices with the following MAC addresses be wide open? MAC 1, MAC 2, etc
Also, for some reason my Xbox 360s do not find the SSID of my Sonicwall TZ210 Wireless N. When I use my iphone or laptop they all see the SSID without any problems.. Any ideas?
FYI: I am still a little slow with the Sonicwall so any walk throughs or step by step instructions would be appreciated.
Thank you

Thank you
Normally you should obtain your ip (xbox) via DHCP. So you could configure one ANY-ANY ALLOW rule to that one ip...

Won't the IP change if it is set to DHCP? Unfortunately, 2 of the 3 are constantly used for LAN parties so they need to be DHCP instead of static.
i'm not sure what to make of the missing SSID. you should have a/b/g/n on the sonicpoint-n device. did you create a sonicpoint virtual access point?

Ahh my good friend digitap :)

You may set DHCP lease to any time you want...

I found the SonicPoint SSID under WIRELESS->Settings

Tks digitap you too!!
I imagine the xbox's do have access to N. They hall have built in N cards.
I manually changed the channel from auto to 1 and now it and others show up (but it could also be the rules.
Any idea how to change the NAT type to "open"? After the changes I made it still says "strict"
On a linksys/belkin you just turn on upnp but I cannot do this, correct?

OK...i understand. you want to enable upnp from WLAN (xbox) to WAN, correct? sonicwall doesn't support upnp. however, you CAN "open" everything from WAN > WLAN (xbox). is that what you want to do?
ASKER
Yes everything open in the group that has all my xbox's but I think I need WLAN > WAN correct?
All of a sudden my iphone won't connect to the SonicJAM, is there something I messed up in these changes?
Can I create a 2nd SSID that would allow guest access as well as having the SonicJAM (xboxs)?

thanks for the points! did you get things working properly?
ASKER
Yes all is working. The ssid wasn't being seen when the channel was set to auto. I did a scan and found an available one and set it. Now no problems.
Tks for your sonicwall help. I will have many more soon.
