Forget about DMZ. DMZ never works like it's supposed to on these little routers. Even if it does work it's a bad, bad thing to have a host wide open.

Also, you still need ports forwarded with a static IP, you just dont have to worry about the IP ever changing.

You're right it is for the media center. Try this one. This is for XBox 360 Live.

I don't think you need the DMZ function enable for it.
If you are not quite sure how to configure a static IP.

The Static IP works,

I just used some DNS servers I looked up online. Comcast would not give them to me when I called.

I will double check the ports I already setup, but I think I already had these forwarded.

And I will uncheck the DMZ too

Thanks Guys.

You don't need to set the DNS servers at all. Comcast gives you a Dynamic IP anyways. That's probably one of the reasons that they don't give you there DNS server IPs.

The static IP pn the Xbox would not work without manual DNS settings?

Oops.

I usually just reserve my IP address on the router itself.
