xbox live connection issues

[crazywoo]

i am having problems connecting to xbox live and i am no good with computers. i have tried the xbox live support page and emailed them countless numbers of times but still no luck in connecting to live

i have a windows xp service pack 2 computer and have a usb modem with no ethernet port in the back of it. the only ethernet port i have is in the back of my computer and i was wondering whether or not this would help me connect to xbox live. everytime i ttry connecting to xbox live and do the connection test it always says that my ip address is invalid and that i need to renew it but on doing so the ip address wont renew itself.

also any step by step guides to connecting would be great thankyou
and please could they be in diagram form as i am not too good with computers.

Connecting to xbox live with your Xbox 360 or what?

Hey there, i'm having this exact same problem too and am dying to sort it out,

I don't wanna end up: Drilling Through Walls, Running Cables upstairs (Currently what i'm temprorarely doing), etc.

I just have my PC on wireless, and have a ethernet cable running from the back of my xbox and into the Ethernet Port in the back of my PC (at least thats what i think it is) And all i've got is 'IP Adress - Failed' It's driving me crazy i've tried tons of things.

So if any one could tell me aswell as the other person above, thanks just inform me when you can.

Regards,

revolution, try going into control panel -> network connections and then right click on your internet connection, click properties, then advanced and check " allow other users to connect through this computers internet connection.

then go into start-> all programs -> accessories -> communications -> network setup wizard then follow the steps.

123456789, it's worked! thanks a lot! but it's not entirely perfect.

When i switch my PC off my xbox live connection is lost, i also have a wireless adaptor and i have tried that, but the adaptor will not connect to the Wireless Network, it says the correct name of the Network but i'm confused on how it's not picking up any internet connection from it.

Sorry to be a neusence but does anyone know how to fix this?

P.S I have a Orange Modem Livebox.

Much appreciated.

If your running your xbox live through your pc you will have to have the pc on for the connection to stay open, a slight annoyence i know.

Also if your running live from your pc make sure that internet connection sharing is on.

[TehRevolution]

Yes everything works i just would like to know if theres anyway i could Connect my Wireless Adaptor for my 360 to my Modem it won't connect for some reason.

Just want to know if theres anyway to fix this because i spent £60 on the adaptor and would like to put the money to good use lol.

Do you have a wireless router/modem?

[TehRevolution]

I have a modem yes.

[Van Hel Singh]

Is it wireless?

Hello, i am having a problem connecting to X-Box 360 L!ve. I have a Arris TM502G modem. I have manually configured the IP settings, and that works, but i keep having a DNS failure. I manually configured it to what i was told in my cmd window. What exactly do i do? :(

[TehRevolution]

yeh Van Hel, it's Wireless.

[Van Hel Singh]

When you go into your settings blade, choose network settings. Go to wireless and select your router and then type in the wep key.

[TehRevolution]

What is my Settings blade?

[Van Hel Singh]

The last dashboard blade/slide. From where you can change all of your settings, etc.

[Van Hel Singh]

also what colour is the light on the adapter

[TehRevolution]

ummmm i still don't understand the settings blade thing, how do i access it?

and my adaptor light goes Red.

[Van Hel Singh]

On your dashboard. The main page thing. If you push your analog stick right then it changes the page. You go to the final page and select network settings.

[TehRevolution]

oh on my xbox, sorry i thought you meant my PC =O

-E- how do i select wireless it just says;
Test XBL Connection
Test Media Connection
Edit Settings
Windows connect now
and restore to factory defaults.
