lol, yes the router. DMZ in your router settings lets you put in the IP for one of your devices (in this case your xbox) so the router won’t mess with the traffic between the internet and your xbox.<div>I highly recommend you go wired if at all possible cause ATT’s wireless isn’t the fastest. My statements above comparing my comcast to my current att was also me going from wireless on comcast to wired on att.</div><div><br></div><div>At one point I would have a long temporary internet cable that I would run across the middle of the living room floor whenever I wanted to play then just unplug and put it away when done lol</div><div><br></div><div>you’ll also want to set a static IP on your 360 (google that too). Feel free to message me if you need a hand :)</div>

2 things:<br>1) I’ve been reading your book when I get a chance in between all the reading I do for work. I am enjoying the story and am 40% done. I’m still trying to figure out what Marabbas looks like…is he like a dog-person?<br><br>2) Check this thread I started, it deals with changing your router settings. You will have to identify your brand and model and go to the IP address for the router through your browser. You don’t need to plug into it. I set a static address and used port forwarding to get a little bit better connection but I want more so I will try DMZ next. DMZ, as far as I know, is bad to use for your devices that have sensitive information on them though because it is more vulnerable…but I jsut have a surface understanding of all this stuff.<br><br><a href="Tech Talk G Style
Your right, you never want to DMZ your PC/laptop otherwise all traffic going to it is unrestricted but when it comes to consoles its perfect cause the last thing you want to do with them is restrict traffic 
lol, climaxter, yeah, marabbas is kind of a dog-person.<br>check out the pencil sketch i did of him on the book’s facebook page:<br>https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=315714375207628&set=a.315714371874295.66948.311084209003978&type=1&theater<br><br>ok, i hooked it up with a cable and got an immediate improvement.<br>then i set the xbox’s ip to dmz, but didn’t get an improvement - i didn’t change it to a static ip, though.<br>how important is that?<br>
if its not static then the router might give that IP to another device so that new device ends up with the DMZ.
bah.<br>complicado!<br>
pick a static ip address that is like xxx.xxx.xxx.15 or .50…the last two digits represent the number of devices hooked up, kind of. In other words, if you had 6 devices using your router without static ip addresses, they would be assigned .01, .02, .03…etc. So pick a number that outnumbers the total number of devices in your house. The number doesn’t really matter too much, but being static with dmz does matter. You have to tell each machine (ps3 and your router) the same number. <br><br>And yeah…bah!<br>
Im gonna hop on PSN tonight fellas if anyone wants to run a few. I dont know what time exactly but probably within the 5pm-8pm time frame. Climaxter, you gonna be on sir?
I played last night vs. mr83martinez and donwon-ryu for a few. martinez has that st.mp >mp.palm punish down…don’t just random palm him and expect to get away with it. Donwon is good at adapting and put me on defense a lot. Good stuff, really needed to practice patience. Then, my nemesis REDSOX04-05 came on with his bastard of an Adon and I crumbled. #-o <br>Dek, I might hop on tomorrow night at some point…

hahahahahahahah i was laughing hard when i saw this comment!!! i really have a hard time dealing with neutral jumps, not been able to punish them and all that, and i lost a handfull of close matches, so i didnt do that bad but i think it wasnt my day, specially the one i lost against that redsox guy just because i coulndt punish him in the corner and them he came back, all i have to say is that i love that match up, gouken vs adon and i dont even know why??? if you want i can give you some tips bro!!!
Cool cool. I ran some casuals locally with Gamma Proper last night and he said he was in a room with you and Martinez. I was like awww maaan , I missed it lol. Yeah, I’m gonna be on PSN more so hopefully we can get some games in soon. I dont think we’ve sparred in a while.

I am in desperate need of help vs Adon. I saw you stopping him a lot with st.fp so I tried it and whiffed mostly, once getting punished by his U1. If I get him down I am okay at pressuring his mediocre wake up but if he gets away it’s a pain to start up again. For some reason, he’s one of those characters that, when I block his cross up, he still manages to get the cr.lk in. Fei and Akuma do this to me a lot too. Adon also has that pain in the ass neutral jump hk that hits as he’s going up and that shit always gets me on wake up since it’s overhead…<br>

Yeah I dont think you can punish his on hit, only block. The thing is that if it hits he can cancel into Jaguar Kick too. For Adon f.st.hp and f.st.mk are you best friend. I use the latter more because its quicker and stuffs the startup of Jaguar Kicks whether EX or not. F.st.hp destroys that bitch ass Jaguar Tooth and I use that option because I never know which one he’s doing. Better to be safe and do hp versus doing Ultra or something and it not be the EX or HK version. I feel you on the cr.lk after crossup…for those characters it seems to come out faster. I gotta say though man, and I sent this to you in a message, I apologize for whining like a biatch last night and lag on PSN may be the issue on why you get with this. It was just really frustrating seeing stuff coming, knowing exactly what you wanna do and you push the buttons and nothing working. I played on PSN for about an hour, switched to XBL and was good…and I was even playing this Fuerte in Peru. Like wtf? Lol. I eventually switched back to PSN later on last night and it seemed to get less laggy as the night went on so I guess thats a good thing. But yeah, with Adon, you WANT him to get away. Keep his ass at 3/4 screen and lp, mp hado him to death…until he gets Ultra of course.
Rant begins:<br>Yeah, I attribute at least half if not more of my frustration with SSF4 to psn because shit I know I blocked or countered or tech’d still gets through, and connections that seem clean can randomly change speed…I watch some of my replays to see wtf I was doing wrong and it just

enough…this is one of the main reasons that I barely ever play ranked anymore…also, armor breaking moves that can only be punished by 3 frame moves or moves that Gouken doesn’t have are bullshit…unblockable setups are bullshit…I have 3 frames to respond to a grab attempt…how many times have I tech’d and been thrown anyway…grabs are broken

I LOL’d so hard reading this. I told you PSN was slower. It doesnt seem like 2 frames of lag would make a difference but it does. Throws off tech timing, high/low switch blocking, reactionary punishes…it just messes with everything. <div><br></div><div>Only people that should have command grabs are command grab characters and Seth. Fuck Fei, Yun, Yang “Oh I have a DP AND a command grab so I’m gonna DP you to death until you block and then command grab you so I can switch sides and DP you again”…bullshit.
