So I finally decided to move my 360 from my room and the bigger tv to my computer room and to a smaller tv. The upside of course, is that now I can connect to Xbox Live.

Ok so now I've tried to migrate my original account from my Xbox to my 360. But whenever I choose "Recover Gamertag from Xbox Live" it says I need to install an update. Ok, that's fine with me. Click on "Yes, update now" and after trying to update or sometimes not even doing it at all, I get a failure message. So I'm just wondering, what do I do? I don't remember it being this complicated with the original Xbox...

Ill find a migration link for ya if that doesnt fix it

i would say make sure everything is properly connected. I don't think the update would just fail for any other reason

I ran a test and it shows that everything is connected. Believe me, I'm not new to the whole internet connection thing, it's just that I wasn't expecting it to say that my connection failed. Actually I think I might know it... Do you have to use the grey ethernet cable that came with the 360? Cause I lost that grey cable and I'm using an older one that I bought for my Xbox last year. I'm wondering if that has any effect on it.

what kind of cable is it, i used a cat 6 gold on mine and it worked fine.

That might be the problem
ouch

I'm not sure what kind it is. The cable itself is clear so I can see the the wires and stuff inside. It came in a 2 pack that ahd the ethernet cable and a system link cable for Xbox. So I'm not sure if it's a problem with the cable. Or could it be because of all the traffic on Xbox Live?

Are you sure its plugged in correctly?

Try Xbox.com and get some better support

Ya it's plugged in correctly. I know how to connect an ethernet cable. I have done it with my Xbox before. And I've gotten on Xbox.com and went to the support site but that didn't help because I couldn't find anything about failure to connect so I don't know. Oh well, I'm at school right now and when I get home I'll try it again.

might have been they declined the connection because of your connection speed?

I don't we have high speed internet. Oh well, I've decided that I'll just wait until I can buy the wireless adapter thing and just use that. Thanks anyway for yall's help.
