Xbox networking please take a look

[fb.knight]

i posted this over at xbox forms but i dont have much faith in them like i know xda has some real top notch people. top notch people that have better things to do :D but i just figured id try take a look if you got time.


im pretty sure this is a new one and if any one can help me i would be so greatful.

ok first i had live working great for about 3 weeks i didnt change anything and then all the sudden ip always fails.

so makes sense that it was my isp that changed something so i gave them a call they didnt know about anything so after further thinking i figured it was proably not the isp's fault but my conection to my router.

and sure enough my router dosnt even have the 360 in attatched devices (the link light for the port i plug it in to goes crazy just blinks on and off forever) any ways i tried all the normal trouble shooting

power cycled everything on the network
i set the ip manulay
i bypassed the router
reset xbox to factory settings
upgraded router firmware
removed everything from the router but the xbox and soft and hard reset it
still same problem.

heres where it gets real crazy i took the xbox to my friends house who has a 360 reset it to factory settings and pluged it in ip failed same as on my network. his xbox worked just fine on the exact same network. and we went through all the trouble shooting there 2

so i figured the xbox is busted so i called up the support guys and got them to agree with me and there sending me a box to send it to them to get repaired. but tonight i was messing with it and just for kicks i set it up through network sharing on my lap top and it got all the way through the live test. and then trying it again it started failing on the mtu, ip and on live at diffrent times. so im thinking its not actually broken? i have no idea at this point can any one make heads or tails of this before i send the xbox off to get fixed if its not even broken?

my set up is
isp petera wireless (small pos company but it worked before and i think the router to xbox concetion is the culpriate)
they have a little box i dono what it is modem? bridge? any ways that has the ethreanet cable from the wirless radio on top of the house to another ethernet cabel that plugs in to my router
routher is a wgr 614 v6 running the latest firmware (i did try downgrading no dice)

my xbox 360 is wired to the router thers 2 wired computers and a vonage box and one wireless laptop

So when you say you've bypassed the router does that mean you've hooked up your 360 directly to your modem?
If that's the case and it still didn't work it looks like something is wrong with the Xbox itself.

Try removing the harddrive that it came with then hook it up to the network/directly to the modem and see if that works.

If that doesn't work then it's the definitely the xbox, as i find the 360 one of the most easiest things to get working on a network.

Also just for kicks if you have it setup to the router try enabling DMZ on the ip that belongs to the xbox and see if that works.

Hopes this helps.

fb.knight...... im sure I recognise ur name from the xbox forums...

I got my XBOX chipped (softmod) and it was hell getting the wireless to work... in the end it took 2 routers and one wireless bridge... Main router connected to wireless bridge connected to router (set to bridge mode) connected to XBOX. Was running the Evox dashboard but its been so long ive left my XBOX for awhile lol.

Sounds like the netcard in the xbox is hosed, if your box doesn't work with your friends normally working xbox point. I take it you used the working ethernet cable at your friends place, rather than your own, as cables can foo up.

Yeah also don't forget to make sure that you know when to use crossover and non crossover cables (Ethernet - RJ45)
