Thank you Robert but we already thought of that.
The wireless provider came by and tried a turn at it and said they don't
know what to make of it but they will not allow customers to access the
access point citing network security. That and they do not like that a
customer use a router or software firewall other than what they provide,
the AP.
So it seems there is some element of information being withheld on their
part specifically in regards to the AP.
My relative is currently investigating other providers with similar
offerings.

Make sure that the Gaming Mode is on.
Well the AP will remain locked as long as an account exists, the sole
caveat of unlimited bandwidth :/
Thanks for any thought you all may have given this quandary.

A relative of mine just got hooked up with wireless broadband. The
connection is set up as follows: Internet - Access Point (DLink
DWL900AP+) - Router (DLink 604) - computers, and xbox. Now everything
works flawlessly except the xbox which cannot connect to the xbox
live servers.
Xbox support is useless, they recommend power cycling.
The access point seems to be locked as it cannot be reached to enter
it's configuration manager, something the wireless provider controls
for network security which I find quite questionable as I've never
seen such a setup with a wireless internet provider. I've seen 3 now.
Aside from the locked AP there is no other explanation for the xbox
problem as 2 other xbox's from other working broadband connection
don't work with this provider.
I know this is likely a long shot but if anyone has any idea's it
would be greatly appreciated.
