It's almost as though you want to make getting an answer difficult. What's "xbl"? What are the "nessesary ports"? What model is the "wierd router"?

The switch isn't a problem, if that helps.

you need to enable upnp in the router settings
xbl is xbox live

Ah.

The DMZ only enables traffic from other machines on the router's LAN side. You don't have any.

Try UDP port 88 incoming, perhaps that'll fix it. Or did you mis-type more than you intended?

Still no joy?

There's some screenshots of the page to edit on that router at http://portforward.com/english/route...0/Limewire.htm but since you've already been there all I can say is that it looks fairly standard.

I'm sure you've checked that the fixed IP address on the Xbox is actually what you think it's set to, and that it matches what you entered. I presume there's no doubt about the gateway address you put in. Your computer's on the same router? Did you make that a fixed address as well? There can't really be any way the two are conflicting or you'd see error messages on the computer too.

I'd be tempted to read the Xbox manual chapter a second time, there's always something to glean from another look whether it's relevant or not.

Apart from the UDP port 88 incoming change, I can't see anything about that router which would cause a gaming problem. I think I'm stumped. If you can find anyone to double-check with you that sometimes gets me to see my blind spot when I've checked and rechecked and kept on missing something.
