Networking

Port Forwarding

A network port lets your Xbox console communicate with the Xbox network servers and other Xbox consoles over the internet.

To let your Xbox console communicate with the Xbox network, you might need to open or forward ports, which means you'll be making a configuration change to your firewall or network hardware, such as a router. Port forwarding for Xbox is done on your router or other network hardware, not on the Xbox console itself.

Port forwarding is:

  • not needed for all Xbox services
  • only needed to allow for unsolicited traffic

If your router does not have UPnP enabled (or available) which just allows the Xbox to setup the port forward rules automatically, then you will manually need to configure your port forwarding.

The Ports

Port Number Protocol Purpose Notes
88 UDP Xbox Live connectivity  
3074 UDP/TCP Xbox Live party chat and matchmaking  
53 UDP/TCP Domain Name System (DNS) Forwarding this will break local servers
80 TCP Web traffic Forwarding this will break local servers
500 UDP Session Traversal Utilities for NAT (STUN)  
3544 UDP Teredo tunneling  
4500 UDP IPsec NAT Traversal  

Testing

Extensible to test port forwarding you need to do the following things:

  1. Setup the port forwards to point to your PC.
  2. Run an app on the PC that exposes/responds on those ports
  3. From outside of your network, connect to these ports and see if you get an appropriate response.
  4. Once you have checked the port forwards work, re-point them to your Xbox.

Misc Diagnostic /Microsoft Network

Open Ports (Apps)

You can also use simple servers to give the same results. A bit more fiddly but a strong alternative method.

  • HFS (HTTP File Server)
    • Access your files directly from your disk via the web
    • portable, GUI, HTTP on custom ports.
  • MiniWeb HTTP server
    • MiniWeb is a high-efficiency, cross-platform, small-footprint HTTP server implementation in C language. It implements GET and POST methods and works on multiple platforms ranging from server, desktop, game console and IoT hardware.
    • last updated 2018
    • Run on any port 
      miniweb.exe -r ./wwwroot -p 8080
  • netcat 1.11 for Win32/Win64 - ancient netcat for Windows
    • run this command to start a listener on port 12345 
      nc -l -p 12345
  •  Powershell
    • If you prefer no downloads, you can use PowerShell to create a simple TCP listener: 
      # Run in PowerShell as Administrator
$listener = [System.Net.Sockets.TcpListener]8080; $listener.Start(); $client = $listener.AcceptTcpClient()
    • Change 8080 to your desired port.
    • You can then test by connecting to it from outside using telnet or nc.

Check the ports are open on the PC (Apps)

Opened Port Testers (Online)

Opened Port Testers (Apps)

These must be run from outside of your network to be of any use in testing port forwarding.

Opened Port Testers (Command Line)

These must be run from outside of your network to be of any use in testing port forwarding.

  • Telenet 
    telnet your.public.ip 12345

Double NAT Detected

  • Double NAT = An additional (or unexpected) network hop has been detected in the packet path.
  • Strict NAT = UPnP is not enabled.
  • Double NAT Detected
    • The Xbox can be very twitchy about detecting this, so sometimes I wonder if there is actually Double NAT taking place.
    • If all services are available in the Xbox network test, the this warning can be ignored as the Double NAT is not interfering with anything.
    • Double NAT detection is not intrinsically bad, it is just the Xbox has detected an additional (or unexpected) network hop in the packet path.
    • This additional NAT is most likely caused by an additional router or AP between the Xbox and the internet. (i.e. not all your devices are on the same subnet / You have daisy chained two routers)
    • This is not caused by my Powerline adapters as I ruled this out by connecting directly to my router. Cheaper adapters can create an internally NAT network which can cause this error.
    • pfSense Router (with NAT Reflection enabled)
      • If running pfSense this detection "could" be caused by using NAT reflection
      • You would only need to setup UPnP or port forwarding once and the router will take care of everything else.
      • Detection is probably caused by NAT Reflection being present on port 80.
      • I disabled NAT reflection on all of the additional port forwards (NAT) that were recommend by Microsoft to forward and this made no difference to the detection results.
      • This is not caused by my pfSense router having multiple WAN Gateways. I disabled all but the WAN and still got the Double NAT detection.
      • Even with Port forwarding or UPnP enables I was still getting the Double NAT issue.
  • Diagnostics
    • I ran packet capture on my pfSense router for the Xbox's IP and port 3074. When you see traffic here in both directions then the port forwarding is working correctly.
      • I set up the port forwarding in pfSense first, but this might not be needed as the traffic from the Xbox is in response to initial packets from my Xbox on my network rather than being unsolicited.
      • Expect to see traffic between your Xbox and a Microsoft IP address.
  • An Xbox can usually can open ports (port forward) automatically using UPnP but this has to be enabled on your router.
    • Most residential routers have this on by default but commercial ones probably don't because of the security implications.
    • If your Xbox network tests says NAT type = "Strict NAT" then this is a good indication that UPnP is disabled.
  • Detecting Double NAT
    • Use a hop plotter such as Tracert after reading the articles below.
    • Double NAT. How can it be detected? (and why/how it should create issues?) - Super User
      • 'Tracert' (Trace Route) command will show if you have a double NAT. e.g. tracert 8.8.8.8. You will see more than one hop with a private IP address. Note that this assumes small office / home networks where every router applies NAT. Corporate networks may have more hops and you'd need to do more testing to figure out which hops apply NAT.
      • An example of something double NAT detectably breaks is UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) Port Forwarding. When a device on your network requests a temporary port forward rule from your router, it won't work right because the upstream router also needs to forward the port. The device will know something is wrong because the router replied that it granted to port open request, but the port still isn't open from the internet. The device can guess that you are in a double NAT situation.
      • You can also get IP address range overlaps in double NAT situation. It could be impossible for the inner and outer network to communicate with each other because they use the same IP ranges and are thus indistinguishable. Internet may still work on the inner network depending on how smart the inner router is.
      • The major reason double NAT is not desirable is devices in the outer network cannot initiate a connection to devices in the inner network. Actual routing (e.g. static routes) allows bidirectional communication.
    • Detecting and Resolving Double Network Address Translation Issue | Intermedia Cloud Communications - This article explains when Double NAT could be an issue and what you can do to alleviate the issue.

Xbox Website

  • You cannot view your games library on this site, it use to be a feature.

Xbox App (Android/Windows/Website)

General

Check if your Xbox is present in the App

`Xbox App --> Library --> Consoles`
  • This is not the most logical place to look for an attached Xbox, you would assume your Library is just for your games.
  • If you know you have already added your Xbox at a prior time but it is not visible, then this is most likely a network issue such as Double NAT or a lack of `Port Forwarding`/`UPnP`. You should now test your Xbox network connectivity before trying anything else.

Cannot add my Xbox to the App

This can have a few causes:

  • The Xbox network is down. You can check the here.
  • The Xbox is already added and present.
  • Network connectivity issues such as port forwarding are preventing communication.
  • The Xbox is already added but not visible because of network connectivity issues.
  • You cannot add the same Xbox twice to your App, it will always fail as if it cannot talk to it.
  • What would be nice is if an error message came up saying you were trying to add the same Xbox twice.

XBOX 360 Emulator

  • XBOX 360 Emulator - Keep asking for my Xbox password
    • XBOX 360 Games on XBOX One Keeps Asking For Password - Microsoft Community
      • ** Solution from Dan_774 ** ** works **
        • I had this problem on my xbox one x and accidentally solved it. Here's how:
          1. Launch the 360 game. While in the 360 game, open the 360 menu by pressing select and start at the same time. Log in to your account. Select "remember me".
          2. Once logged in, open the 360 menu again and log out WHILE STAYING IN THE GAME.
          3. Open the 360 menu again and log in again. This time it shouldn't ask for your password.
          4. Now you can fully exit the game, relaunch it, and it should automatically sign you in to your 360 account.
        • I did this for multiple accounts on my xbox one and it worked every time so I don't have to keep re-entering my password every time I want to play black ops 2 and any other 360 game. Hopefully it works for you, too.
    • 360 games on series x never reminds my password, everything else works - Microsoft Community
      • Dan_774 solution is on this page.
      • Another suggestion:
        • I figured it out! If you have multiple XBox Ones on your account, only the "HOME" Xbox will remember password and auto sign into xbox 360 games.
          1. You have to sign into your Microsoft Account on a trusted browser, then click on your profile on the top bar and go to settings to see all hardware associated with account.
          2. Click on your New XBox Device.
          3. This is good time to register with Microsoft with a click of a button BTW.
          4. There is no button to make a "HOME" device but there will be a button that states "This is not my Home Device" if it happens to be so.
        • I sold my last xbox one and did not remove my device from account.
        • Once I removed my older devices my new Xbox now remembers my XBox 360 Login and auto-sign ins. What a relief...
    • I keep getting logged out of Xbox Live playing backwards compatible games but only on the 360 not on the Xbox One. | Microsoft Community
      • Your password is longer than 16 characters. 360s including the emulator on the Ones do not like passwords longer than 16 characters if your password is longer than 16 characters then you would need to change it to something smaller.
      • You have two step verification turned on. Again the 360s including the emulator do not like two step verification so you would either need to turn it off or use your app password.
      • You changed your gamer tag since the last time you downloaded your profile to the 360 Emulator/360 console.
    • My password is too long to enter into my xbox 360 | Microsoft Community
      • Basically it is a limitation to the 360 including the emulator on the One for backwards compatible games that it does not like passwords longer then 16 characters so if you are wanting to play games on your 360 just make change your password to something that is less then 16 characters.
      • Enable 2Fa and generate an App password.
  • Passwords always incorrect
    • Password always incorrect when signing into Xbox live for 360 games on Series X console | Reddit
      • I found a fix. I turned off two step verification
      • Yeah somewhere on the xbox / microsoft website there is some button under a "security" tab that says "generate app password" and the password it generates is what you enter for the Xbox 360 download-profile password.
      • This thread also details steps including the password fix from Dan_774 but using an app password.
      • App passwords can only be used if 2FA is on.
      • In summary
        • If you are using 2FA you need to use an App password.
        • You can turn of 2FA.

Misc

Glossary

  • Wiper
    • This is the metal disc in a potentiometer that is rotated on the carbon track.
  • Hall Effect Potentiometer / Hall Effect Thumbsticks
    • These are potentiometers that are based on magnets rather than carbon tracks and a wiper. The benefit is that they do not have any moving parts that will wear out.

    • Everything you need to know about Hall Effect Sensing Joysticks & Trig – EasySMX
      • In the world of interactive gaming, controllers are the crucial tools through which we enter and navigate virtual realms. Integral to these controllers are the joysticks and triggers, which have seen considerable evolution in their design and the technologies behind them. In this article, we delve into two significant technologies that power these components: Hall Effect sensing and potentiometer-based mechanisms, as seen in ALPS joysticks.
      • Hall effect sensors don't play well with metallic parts iirc, like installing metal thumbsticks in a Xbox One controller could mess with the hall sensor triggers.
    • Third party hall effect sensors replacement for xbox controller? | Microsoft Community
      • Can use more power
      • Xbox series controllers have a 10000Hz polling rate, but current Hall sensors are limited to 1000Hz.
    • Do Hall Sensors make a difference in gameplay? | Reddit
      • Hall sensors alone don't impact gameplay. They're simply a way to read the joystick. A more durable way than potentiometers, but alone they don't alter gameplay.
      • Yes it does affect all non Shooters or 3D games. ALPS is far superior for metroidvanias fighting, racing, platformers in which you need perfect inputs for competitive play. HALL wont register diagonal inputs correctly (or register them at all) and most of the time you going to regret having one.
      • Hall effect sensors do make a difference in gameplay. They have less of a chance to miss-input than potentiometers, and don't degrade. Having more reliable input will 100% make a difference in gameplay.
      • My layman's explanation is that hall effect sensors are better than traditional carbon potentiometers because they're immune to PODE aka they don't wear down and cause misinputs.
      • To keep it brief: carbon film potentiometers (the normal type found in GCCs) wear down over time, and they get less accurate. We call this "PODE" in the community. This has some positive gameplay effects, but if there is too much wear, it can have really really bad gameplay effects too.
      • Hall effects sensors don't wear the same way, so once you set up your controller, it should be good to go for a much longer time.

      • These have a special board that will correct the jitter and calibrate the circularity test.
      • @alexklaus2778
        • One question: I also installed Hall Sticks on a XBox controller and noticed afterwards that the LT/RT Buttons also work with hall sensors. After testing it, I could see how the hall sensor in the sticks gets disturbed by the magnets on the trigger. For my normal Xbox controller I bought clicky buttons from extremerate and want to remove the magnet. You seem to only built in the hall sticks. How did you work around that problem? I guess the scuff you have there will work with the same hall technology for the LT/RT buttons.
        • I do not see a proper solution there since installing the board and calibrating it with software means that it will be centered until I press the LT button (which has its hall sensor right under the sicks). That would cause the left stick to drift a little up or down.

Thumbsticks: Potentiometers vs Hall Effect Sensors

Xbox controllers (most of them) come with thumbsticks that use potentiometers that change resistance so the controller knows how far you have moved the stick. This technology is well tested but the potentiometers wear out because the wiper is a piece of metal that is run against a carbon strip and because of the friction over time these will fail. Hall effect Sensors are a new technology that use magnets and as such there is no physical touching between surfaces so they do not wear out. Below I have done a table of the pros and cons of each of the technology whilst having my 1708 Xbox controller in mind, although most of the principles will be the same no matter what controller you use.

  Pros Cons
Potentiometer
(POT)
  • It is what your controller was designed to use.
  • Spares are easy to source
  • No Jitter
  • Fast response
  • Wears out over time. This is called PODE in the community.
  • Stick drift is a common fault
Hall Sensor
  • Do not wear out
  • Modern Technology
  • Once calibrated, you should never suffer stick drift again
  • Can adjust the calibration of the sensor on the actual unit.
  • Can be more accurate
  • Doesn't suffer from dead zones
  • No stick drift
  • Jitter - Some newer versions appear not to suffer from this.
  • Xbox controller: Hall sensors in the sticks gets disturbed by the magnets on the triggers. This might be true for other controllers.
  • Can use more power, higher battery drain
  • Xbox series controllers have a 10000Hz polling rate, but current Hall sensors are limited to 1000Hz.
  • Hall effect sensors don't play well with metallic parts such as metal thumbsticks.
  • Needs a module board to prevent interference, correct jitter and calibrate for the circularity test. These boards usually only come with premium upgrades.

Conclusion

So in conclusion hall effect sensors are a good thing if decent sensors that do no suffer from jitter and that they will not interfere with the rest of your controller (i.e. triggers on the xbox controller) or you could get ones that come with an additional circuit board that prevents interference and jittering.

Using the standard potentiometers are what your controller was designed for and just swapping like for like is not a bad thing. If you keep wearing out the sticks out frequently then you should use hall sensors.

What Causes Stick Drift?

Tutorials

Fixes

  • Update controller firmware
    • This probably will not fix anything, but it certainly will not harm.
  • Software Calibration (Window Only)
  • Software Calibration (Xbox Accessories App)
    • You should try software calibration before any other method if it is available to you.
    • See section below.
  • Modified Software Calibration (Xbox Accessories App)
  • Blow out the thumbsticks with air
    • This only works some of the time but is worth a go.
  • Clean the potentiometers (Wiper and Carbon Track) with Isopropanol alcohol.
    • This worked for me and is my recommended method.
    • This should not need a recalibration as you are using the original parts.
  • Replace the affected potentiometer's Wiper
    • Sometime this can work if cleaning does not.
    • This method requires recalibration.
      • NB: You can try several wipers to see if you get one that does not require calibration because it is the correct value, but this could be time consuming and might not work.
  • Replace the affected potentiometer on the thumbstick
  • Replace the thumbstick with a new one
    • This method requires recalibration.
  • Hardware Calibration
    • If software calibration is not available there are several hardware methods avaliable to complete this process.
    • See section below.

Stick Calibration Methods

Over time the resistance values in a potentiometers change over time (unless you are using hall effect ones) and so re-calibration can fix the problem but also when you swap parts in your thumbsticks these might not have the perfect values and again calibration is required.

  • Xbox Accessories App (Windows and Xbox)
  • Hall Effect Sticks / Potentiometer
  • Manually altering the position of the potentiometers by using their pins
  • Drift Fix Adapter / Drift Repair Board
    • This is a tiny circuit board that you solder onto the back of the controller’s circuit board, behind the thumbstick. It has two potentiometers that allow you to compensate for the loss of resistance in the thumb stick’s own potentiometers.
    • These are used to add an easy calibration method but as such can also fix stick drift.
    • You can buy these on AliExpress

      • FINALLY! PERMANENTLY FIX JOYSTICK DRIFT for PS4, PS5, XBOX One, and Series X Controllers! New mod from Helder Finally Fixes Joystick Drift!
      • One of the most frustrating issues with modern controllers is that they’ll eventually get joystick drift. This issue essentially makes the controller unusable. Up until now, there have only been ways to band-aid the problem but those are just temporary. We FINALLY have a permanent fix for Joystick Drift! Let’s take a closer look!
    • Drift Fix Analog Stick Fix PCB Mod | Acidmods
      • Has pictures
      • These are not drift proof like people want them to be.
      • These only meant for you to be able to re-calibrate the center.
      • If the carbon filter is too far gone on the stick pots then you're still going to have noticeable drift and only a replacement can fix.
      • I have the top ones but not using them because even slight calibration for example on right make analog not able to go fully left. Maybe other versions are better but that top one isn?t worth any money. I read somewhere that 10k ohm trimmers can be use for better results but never tried.
      • The higher the value used the less impact is has current wise on the circuit. Remember there are 4 POTs in there that all use the same power rail. So 4 x 10k in parallel is really a single 2.5k load on there, but you toss in 4 more 10k and now it's a 1.25k load and now it is using twice as much current. Using a higher value, like 1M, it will still change the voltages of it, which is what the MCU is measuring to 'see' where the stick is, but current wise you've changed it from a 2.5k load to a 2.475k load, not a big enough difference to really matter.
      • Placing it in series is far more work as you would have to place it on the correct side, or both sides and use twice as many parts, and it would really stuff up the divider. Unless you used some trimpots with more turns that you'd want to turn so you could dial in that very minute value, whereas tossing them on there in parallel is quick and easy, and unless the stick is really way off it's not noticeable, and if it is way off then trying another stick or POT should be done first before trying to dial it back in with a parallel one.

Controller Sensitivity

  • Controller is hypersensitive on Xbox Home Screen / Dashboard
    • This is caused by stick drift on your controller.
    • I would suggest plugging it into a PC and checking the feedback from the controller.
  • Problem with dashboard sensitivity | Reddit
    • OoomaThurman
      • i had this yesterday, i just unplugged the unit for a while and it resolved it. Reset / hard reboot did nothing to fix it. Unplugged for about 5 mins and came back to it. Might have just been a lucky reset though :-/
    • Misanthrope-X
      • You could check to see if your controller has a firmware update in the accessories app.
      • Your second issue sounds like stick drift but the right stick doesn't have any function on the home screen so that shouldn't impact it there.
      • The best you can do for stick drift is take the controller apart and clean the stick area with isopropyl alcohol but that would probably just be a temporary fix.
    • MistbornSynok
      • It’s caused by the stick drift, I had this issue before.
    • GEDROCKL33
      • Having this issue currently as well the right stick moving on its own. Which i have a friend that works with GS he put it on their controller tester for Trade ins and the Right stick was perfectly Zeroed.
      • I have done a unpair repair, Hard shut off with Xbox button and left on D-Pad until the controller shut off havent done a Clear Cache reset yet but will try that first.
      • Edit!!! Did a Reset Cache clear on the system and havent had any issues so far since. Link to what i did is here How to clear the cache on Xbox Series X | Digital Trends As a note i did the power cycle your xbox series X and the clear Blu Ray Cache. I did not do the reset console. Unsure if its a permanent fix but so far this has worked for me.
  • Can I adjust my Xbox Controller's sensitivity? - Quora
    • If we were talking about using an Xbox One Elite controller then the answer would be "yes!"[1] . Standard Xbox One controllers don't seem to have the ability to non-invasively adjust the Trigger range[2] — which is what you're really asking about.
    • All non-invasive customizations to Xbox One controllers require the Xbox Accessories app[3]. In your case, go to the Microsoft Store app on your PC and download Accessories app, then plug in your controller using a USB cable. Last time I checked this didn't work if you tried to do it using the Wireless Adapter. You'll see what you can configure and customize there.
    • Having said this, the whole reason why the Elite exists is because Microsoft wanted to give non-professional players the experience of using a highly customized controller. The implication there is that it is possible to invasively modify the controller to your heart's content. How to do that? As far as I know at minute this is the only way, while each game it's different and you would need different settings.
    • Each game in the settings options have the sensitivity options where you can work it out this.
    • No you can not change the sensitivity in xbox one settings. Maybe in a particular game but have not got any in which you can change. So there is not pretty much customization you can do about it.

D-PAD Button Repair

  • Easiest way to fix the D-pad on an Xbox controller - works on Series S, Series X and One controllers - YouTube
    • This video shows how you can repair a none working D-Pad on an Xbox One, Xbox Series S & Xbox Series X controller.
    • The D-Pad, also called the directional pad uses a conductive film for the buttons.
    • This film is known to go bad, which causes the D-Pad to stop working.
    • NB: Do not put the sticky film on top of a towel where you get loads of filth if you are going to reuse
    • NB: I would use a pen to mark on the board where the outside of the plastic film sits to get a perfect fit upon re-fitting.
