hi all I have done this for years since windows 10 came out. Last week it stopped working. I am not sure why. It appears to me that the dmz setting is just not working on my g1100. Basically the set up previously was easy. (there are a few ways to do this but this is what had been working.)
- set local assigned IP address by g1100 for xbox one in dmz set xbox up to have manual IP settings.
- Type in public IP for router/devices in xbox app to connect.
It was that simple and it was glorious. We lost power a few times last week and now everything is working fine but the connection when off network is not working. Typing the IP in says there is no xbox with that IP. I can still connect on the local network fine.
Things I have done:
- rebooted the router
- rebooted the xbox
- changed the assigned ip/DMZ setting
- hard reset the xbox
- reset the router
- changed to my other xbox so that it was now in the DMZ - does not work
- changed the location of the xbox so that it is not using the same cable or ethernet switch
What I have not tried
- factory resetting xbox (this would mean long downloads but I can do that overnight tonight
- getting out my old netgear to have that act as the main router
- change xbox connection to wifi (both are currently wired)
- using simple port forwarding (that had not helped in the past)
So any thoughts? I would love to solve this problem. Normally I can test the connection when at home by just typing in the IP instead of using the detected connection - that does not work. My gut is telling me that the dmz is not working for some reason
thank you!
