Here's how I got mine to work:

Firewall/Router is 192.168.111.1 (substitue for your firewall/router
internal addresses)

1. Set X-Box to have static address (follow instructions on DVD for this),
ie 192.168.111.4, with gateway address of 192.168.111.1, netmask
255.255.255.0 etc
2. On your firewall add new rule to allow:
Inbound from 0.0.0.0 (ie Internet) to 192.168.111.4 (your X-Box)
Protocol: TCP Ports: 3074
Protocol: UDP Ports: 88 and 3074

Outbound from 192.168.111.4 (your X-Box) to 0.0.0.0 (ie Internet)
Protocol: TCP Ports: 3074
Protocol: UDP Ports: 88 and 3074
3. Active firewall rule (ie restart)

and hay presto....got this working on Watchguard SOHO and all is fine.
