If you can't understand that..

Enabled
Name: XBox 360.  (technically, you could reserve all of your consoles, and just have a whole range, and have it all set for the same priority.)
Priority: 64 (I wouldn't set it to 1)
Protocol: Any
Local IP Range: 192.168.0.x - 192.168.0.x  (if you reserve your XBox 360's, you can set a whole range)
Local Port Range: (this should be greyed out, if you chose ANY)
Remote IP Range: 0.0.0.0 - 255.255.255.255
Remote Port Range: (this should be greyed out also)

why not set it to 1?

Because it can starve other things of bandwidth, and you could end up with dropped or re-transmitted packets/errors.  When it has to prioritize over other things, it can end up erroring out, and increasing latency.

I think you can check by logging into your router and going to the last tab on the top right which I believe is tools and the go to internet sessions. It will show all your ip addresses and there priorty. When two devices are being used at the same time then the priortitys will take affect, and they will show up with that new priority number. But if you are only using one device it will come up as 128, which is a default setting.

Not 100 percenton on this but I think it only affects upload speeds and not download speeds. An example would be grabit or usenet. Please correct me on this if I am missleading.

I was wondering the same thing as for the game rule?

My question is opening all the ports to pc
dangerous and how do they work.

hmmmm, I am running two xbox's off of my router (FW 1.15) and I enabled a game rule for both while using gamefuel with no problems. Not sure what would cause it, what type of Firmware are you using?

I have firmware 1.12. It runs amazing when gaming rules are off . If I turn it on xbox live will not connect at all.
