trouble connection xbox 360 with XAVB101 (net traces incl)

[gnychis]

Hi all,

I have two XAVB101 setup in my apartment. One is connected to my Apple Airport Exteme, and the other one to my Xbox 360. I do not have security enabled yet, and the lights on each adapter are 3 green lights.

I notice that when I plug my xbox 360 in using a direct cable to my router, it is able to get an IP address and has full connectivity. When I try with my XAVB101, it sends a DHCP request, gets an ARP back from the router, but for some reason does not take the address.

I have two traces which show me plugging in the xbox 360:

• Direct connection
• XAVB101

Apparently others have had this issue, to no resolve so far:

just tried the exact same powerline connection to a laptop, and it gets an IP address over DHCP without a problem. This seems to be an xbox related issue.

fixed by using newest firmware available on netgear site. "Firmware Upgrade Utility v2.1.7"

This seems to be an xbox related issue.
