Xbox 360

OpenPak runs replacement services for Xbox Live on Xbox 360: sign-in, presence, matchmaking and statistics. A real console reaches them through its DNS setting.

Early stage

The servers are running and have been tested with the Wharf emulator. A real Xbox 360 has not been verified, and the OpenPak Xbox 360 Patcher is not available yet. Expect problems and report them.

What you need

• The console on your home network, online.
• Your OpenPak account (create one).

Set the console's DNS

OpenPak's DNS server is 145.241.199.19. Set it as the console's DNS and leave every other network setting automatic.

1. Press the Guide button, then open Settings > System Settings > Network Settings.
2. Choose your network (wired or wireless), then Configure Network.
3. Open the DNS Settings tab and choose Manual.
4. Enter 145.241.199.19 as the Primary DNS Server. Enter the same address as the Secondary DNS Server.
5. Press B to save, then choose Test Xbox Live Connection.

OpenPak's own names are answered for everyone. For any other name, the server answers only consoles that have already asked for an OpenPak name, so a console using it keeps working on the rest of the internet. Do not put this address on a PC or phone: it will refuse ordinary lookups from a device that never asked for an OpenPak name.

Undo

Set the DNS setting back to automatic (or to your router's address).

Wharf, the Xbox 360 emulator, does not need this setting. See Wharf.
