Hi

Just bought a xbox 360 and i'm trying to connect to live for the 1st time.
I've been through the guides a few times which have almost helped but not quite.

My PC has an ethernet port on the back so i followed the guide for connecting straight with no router. I use a USB ADSL modem.

I set up a network connection using the wizard and followed the instructions but when i try to connect to XBOX Live i get Network Adapter:Wired but IP Address:Failed.

Any help is appreciated.

Cheers

Thanks for the reply.

I've gone through the 4th post but it doesn't make sense to me.

I gather that my Xbox and PC need to be using different IP Addresses, but do i need to be entering new IP adds, Subnet Masks etc. into my modem connection or where?

Im seriously confused now can anybody put this stuff in laymans terms please.

Thanks

I just went through the process again.

When i go to start menu then run...command...ipconfig/all.

For my Ethernet Adapter LAC, i can get an IP address, Subnet Mask, but no Default Gateway or DNS servers.

The other option ive got is my PPP Adapter (Modem i guess). Which has all the IP Adds etc.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Please....

Bot? or real person? Anyways if you want to get some real help call the Xbox support line or something...

my friend doesn't have a router, so he takes the modem off the computer and connects it from a cable outlet in the wall straight to his xbox, then switches them back for whatever he is using...just a thought, but it might screw up your modems settings to the computer everytime you disconnect it, not sure though.

Well if he can't connect to the DNS server there is two things. A: your router isn't set up right or B your ISP is down.
