The set up: Computer 1 is wired directly into router 1 with dd-wrt. Computer 2 has a wifi dongle that connects to the same router computer 1 is wired to. 360 1 is wired into the same router as computer 1 and 360 2 is wired into router 2 which has DD-WRT on it and wirelessly connects to router 1.
The Issue: 360 1 can see both computers and stream video just fine but 360 2 can only see computer 1. It can stream perfectly fine from computer 1 with no delays. Router 1 is using DD-WRT version 24 SP1 standard and is a WRT160N V1. Router 2 is running DD-WRT version 24 SP1 MICRO and is a WRT54G V1.
If any1 even has any ideas I would be thankful, Thanx
P.S. both 360's can connect to live with open nat
i use DD-WRT and have one of my 360's working fine on the net and at my other abode i also have DD-WRT and another 360 working fine. Have yet to bring the other 360 to my new address but i don't see it being a problem, i think i'd just have to change my gamertag as for some daft reason i used the same one on both.
What i don't bother with on 360's is wireless (i only use wireless for connecting the downstairs internet connection/downstairs equipment to all the upstairs equipment).
(sorry for rattling on, i always try to write posts so to that they can be of help to more than just the person who starts the thread).
Anyways, it looks to me like your wireless is the odd thing out ie something about the wireless maybe isn't quite right, there may be a setting in the config that's not quite right.
v24 SP1 is generally to be avoided but for general everyday use ie if you're only using DD-WRT's basic functions SP1 should be fine. I still use v23 SP2 across all my routers, v24 is still a constant work in progress, and i'll be staying with v23 even when v24 is finished as v23 is bulletproof.
edit- hang on i'm confuzzled, have re-read your post and drawn up a little diagram of your setup and you say that both 360's are working on the internet fine; that rules out DD-WRT being setup incorrectly, and i'm assuming your second router is simply acting as an Access Point or something so if the internet side of things is working fine i don't see DD-WRT/port forwarding be an issue (i'm trying to puzzle thru what your problem could be).
This is a strange one, it's probably just a simple setting in the network config on computer 2. You're not running Vista are you ?
Not sure what to suggest then really, it could be a simple setting or it could be something in Windows 7. I'm using the 7100 RC1 build but i don't bother with 64-bit. I must admit i only setup streaming on the one 360 when i bought my first 360 to see what all the fuss was about, i only streamed 2 movies, i don't like the way the 360 seems to have to go off updating codecs when you play different movies that you know need the exact same codecs ie i don't trust Microsoft mooching thru all my movie files..
To tell you the truth I most likely wont even use it since my computer is connected to my TV with an HDMI wire but the fact that it's not working is just driving me nutts! :P
I'm guessing you know your stuff being as you use DD-WRT and one of the latest Win7 builds. So not sure what to suggest or what to get you to tweak but just thought i'd post again to say nice one on using DD-WRT, welcome to the club, not enough people around here seem to use it (damn shame).
Even getting 360's on xbox live seems to be a feat so other than the problem with the second 360 you're doing pretty good :)
I agree, more people need to use DD-WRT to make there $50 router a $500 router. I think i am going to flash both routers with V23 SP2, it might solve my issue and then i can try to get WDS working so that the 2 360's can play each other in COD4.
WDS is the reason i got into DD-WRT in the first place, keep us posted. I've been running it for about 18mths now so if you could stuck don't forget to reply to the thread.
