xbox problems

the Aple Airport is probably not UPnP/Live compatible. You will
probably need to forward some ports. There is some general info on the
XBOX Live web site that may help you.

You really should find an Airport support forum and ask there about
issues using the Airport router. The error message suggests you need
to find out the DNS server IPs that your ISP uses (probably get them
from the Airport which is why you need an Airport support forum) or
call your ISP and then configured these in the XBOX connectivity setup
where you can use manual DNS. You still may also need to forward
ports. The airport is apparently not compatible without special
configuration and I urge you to check with other airport users in an
appropriate forum to see how they solved this problem.
