Xbox Live in Malaysia
Streamyx
While I have only tested this with my ISP, Telekom’s Streamyx, this method works pretty much everywhere. I have entered the configuration below into my router and voila, my NAT’s open.
Port Forwarding
Xbox Live! requires the following ports to be forwarded in order to operate correctly:
- UDP 88
- TCP 3074
- UDP 3074
If you have no idea on port forwarding, you can check out PortForward.com. There are step by step instructions for tons of routers, with step by step instructions on how to enable port forwarding.
Too Lazy?
If you’re too lazy to do all the above, just add set your Xbox 360’s IP as the DMZ and you’re done. :)

Hey I’m having such a hard time to set up XBOX Live acc here. I’m from Malaysia and the locale is not supported here. You said you could so I was wondering if you could help me out here. Did you use the Singapore locale? How did you set up windows live account?
Thaweesak on December 5th, 2007
It’s not launched officially in Malaysia yet. You need to set the locale to Singapore.
First, you need to get a Live/Hotmail Account, which you can do so by going to hotmail.com.
If you want the free 1 month Xbox Live Gold Trial, you NEED to sign up via your Xbox itself.
If you don’t need the free Gold Trial, you can register directly at xbox.com.

I do not know how to set my xbox live. I do not know which ip address and dns server to use. I m confused. When i point my mouse to the internet lan icon in toolbar, should i get the ip address and dns server from the unidentified network or streamyx. So i tried both, during the connection settings in the xbox troubleshoot, my cables are connected and my ip addresses are configured. Next the dns server got error. I do not know what to do, can anyone help me? Plz….

Benedict,
How are you connecting the Xbox to the internet? Via a router or direct to your modem?
If you’re connecting it via a router, set your Xbox IP to DHCP.
If you’re connecting directly to the modem, you can configure your modem to dial to your ISP automatically via PPPOE.

JUST GET A PS3 AND GO ONLINE…IF YOU ALREADY HAVE A ROUTER….YOU JUST SET UP YOUR ACCESS POINT AND YOU ARE ONLINE ON PS3!
JESSE AARON DASS on July 29th, 2009
PS3 IS OFFICAL..NOT XBOX 360…XBOX GAMES ARE ALL CRAPPY STUFF..
JESSE AARON DASS on July 29th, 2009
I LOVE PS3 AND X BOX 360..BUT THE PS3 IS GOOD FOR PLAYING ONLINE!
JESSE AARON DASS on July 29th, 2009
GO TO ‘WIKIPEDIA” AND ENTER ‘XBOX LIVE’…MALAYSIA IS NOT INCLUDED..IF YOU BUY A WIRELESS WIFI,YOU WILL NOT GO TO X BOX LIVE AND YOUR X BOX 360 MAY HAVE MALFUNTION…PEACE

It IS possible, I signed up under the United States, with a 300kbps(YEP, thats like SLOW) modem with TMNet Streamyx as my ISP.
At first I signed up at Xbox.com. I got Silver membership FREE.
Then I signed up AGAIN, under a different Gamertag on my Xbox 360 itself, and I got Gold, FREE for 1 month, and I am gonna go buy a Xbox LIVE 12 month prepaid card, at Silver X, Summit USJ, Selangor. It costs RM220.
So there you have it, and to all the PS3 fanboys and haters, just get lost; doesnt mean that Sony officially launched PS3 here, you PS3 owners get special rights or some crap. It makes no difference, except you get to paste the red, white, blue and yellow flag on your PSN ID.
Take note : Users with flashed, or ‘hacked’ Xbox 360s (the Xbox 360s that you get from the tauke that can play RM8 pirated DVDs) will NOT COMPLY with Xbox LIVE’s terms and conditions. Sign-up at your OWN RISK. Dont come crying to me if Microsoft sends you a ‘You have been banned’ note the next day.
BUY ORIGINAL, BE ORIGINAL.
Feel free to add me, my Gamertag is AeroRazgriz
Peace and love(at least, to the Xbox brand) :D

New policy banned all console ( with no come back possible ) that doesn’t have the IP ADRESS in the country they set up their account in .
MEANING i you don’t want your console xbox360 to be banned for life from connecting xboxlive ( CONSOLE ID ) you better wait malaysian xboxlive .
