Gaming Console Question.
I have a brand new Linksys wireless router that works fine on my desktop computers. And when I attempt to connect my Xbox 360 or Playstation 3 to the internet it notices and picks up on my wireless connection. But when I try to connect it repeatedly tells me there is a DNS error for both systems and fails. The exact same thing happens whether im connecting them to the router wirelessly or with an ethernet cable.

My router is a Wireless N Gigabite router from Linksys, and my ISP is AT&T. Even when I attempt to manually input all the DNS information into the systems is still tells me there is an error.

Is there compatibility issues, am I missing something? what's going on here?

To make sure that there is no issues with the consoles, put the IP address of the consoles in the DMZ.

OK. First find out the model number of your router. It may look like WRTxxxx
