- The IP you did was fine, you did it correctly. I would recommend you follow our optimal settings guides to get the most out of the router: http://support.netduma.com/en/support/solutions/folders/16000090646
Yes, take a look in the device manager or the Xbox console settings themselves and see what IP it has. Put that IP in the reservations in LAN Settings. When that is done put that same IP address in the DMZ as well.
thank you bud my xbox is set up has a static ip so will just add that one i guest static ip on xbox will be ok
Remove the Static IP address from the xbox and set a IP address reservation for the xbox ON the router. It's not recommend to have a static and reserved IP address for same device. It's one or the other, not both. Both can cause problems.

- If I remove static ip from Xbox I think it will change ip on Xbox every time I boot it up
If you set the IP as reserved on the router, then the router will give it the same IP address every time.
An IP address reservation makes the router keep the IP unoccupied ready for the Xbox.
A static IP is more like the Xbox demanding an IP that the router might not have at the ready.
