Here's the setup:
WinXP Prof, Netgear RP614, XBox, Cable Modem
PC Connected to router, works fine! Can connect to the internet. I then connected my Xbox to my router, went to the router program->connected devices: here I can see that the only device connected is my PC, the XBox is not to be found. Whats up?
I installed gamespy tunnel, opened all the ports on the gamespy firewall page (using Norton firewall as well, haven't had any errors yet!)
After that I went into gamespy (tunnel installed!) wanted to play halo, ready, launch. I went to multiplayer->system link. The newly opened window in gamespy said: xbox connected, 2 packets, 0kb. The Xbox said looking for game and that was it, nothing happened. Tried NTSC and Pal versions of the game. No go, what am I doing wrong?
Why doesn't my router "see" my xbox? (yes it is switched on)

I don't know why the XBOX does not appear in the Attached devices list. Perhaps the XBOX does not follow the Windows like naming convention (NetBIOS names). However with regard to the working of the XBox itself you would need to open up ports 6500 (UDP) and 6700 (UDP) on the router to the IP of the XBOX console.
