Ok so I've been playing Minecraft since Beta PC, I'm not a noob, but this isn't making sence. I have 2 Portals in the OVERWORLD but they both are linked to the same portal in the Nether. Am I doing somthing wrong?
The 2nd portal in the Overworld is atop a very very VERY tall tree. Could this have somthing to do with the restrictions on the XBox? If you know what I'm doing wrong please tell me.
Do I have to make the 2nd portal in the nether then calculate the 3:1 ratio for steps? I'm just confusing myself now...
The wiki page explains this much better than I can, but here's a summary (that may be slightly inaccurate).
The vertical (Y coordinate) doesn't matter at all in the Nether. Doesn't matter if the portal is in a tree or in a cavern.
When entering a portal, the player is sent back to the closest portal within 128 blocks of the resolved coordinate (Nether to Overworld coordinates 3:1 on the Xbox, 8:1 on the PC). It works this way going either direction - Nether to Overworld or Overworld to Nether.
Making Nether portals for fast travel is *really* annoying on the Xbox since you can't view your current coordinates. But, in order to get two portals to make two different Nether portals you will need to move outside of 128 blocks from the original.... I think.

Yeeah I checked Wiki before comming here, but it was only more confusing. So I need to be 128 blocks away from the 1st portal in order to make a 2nd portal spawn in the Nether?

That's how you network them together for fast travel.
If you just don't like your original portal for whatever reason, you can deactivate it and see if you get a second one at a better location. That's a suicide mission, though....
