Help with DMZ on Belkin F5D8233-4 N Wireless Router

[QuantamPulse]

I am having trouble setting up this wireless router with the Xbox 360 and my PC at the same time.

What I want is the Xbox 360 hooked up through the wireless connection and the PC is hardwired to the router.

In order to get the Xbox 360 to fully connect using the router, I had to setup a static IP address and add that IP address to the DMZ on the router.

That's where the problems lies. Once I add the static IP of the Xbox 360 to the DMZ, the internet connect stops working on my normal PC that is wired to the router. If I go back in and disable the DMZ, my computer works fine but the Xbox 360 now has a restricted NAT.

I can't seem to figure out what is blocking the computer's access just by adding the Xbox 360's IP to the DMZ.

Using Windows XP Media Center Edition

It should have the same address you assigned it only now setting behind the firewall of the router. That address should still be a private address in the same network range as your desktop computer.

You might get better help if you post the IP address info of both boxes. (PC and XBOX)

Good Luck:)

I would think that you should be able to just use dhcp. I'm not sure why you had to use a static, unless your computer was hosting the internet, not the router.
