Yet Another Post ..

If you can ping the outside, try uploading/downloading with the Xbox FTP client to an FTP server on the net.

You can always call the M$ helpdesk or send them your Xbox so they can test

heheh

Think they will give me back my modchip.

Anyway... I haven't tried troubleshooting from linux, but in the Live setup process it is registering DNS just fine. I have pretty much just given up on the Xbox that doesn't work with Live.

Hopefully MS will come up with the cause and fix it, but until then I do have my new Xbox that works perfectly fine with Live.

Probably for the better anyway. The new Xbox isn't modded. So I won't ever have to worry, if MS does decide to do something about modded Xboxes & Live.

Opjose: I didn't mean to get in an argument over this.
Simple fact is that one Xbox works and the other doesn't. I have gone through all known steps and fixes, and none have worked.

I don't know what the problem is, and, since nothing known now will fix it, I deem it an incompatible Xbox. Until some sort of fix arrives, that is exactly what it is. Obviously in my case it is not my setup or internet connection, because my other Xbox works flawlessly.

Since you've done just about everything possible, there's just about only one thing left...

The serial EEPROM.

I'd love to see a dump of yours.

The recently posted information on it points to this being the main possibility in your case.

Well to report Back I broke down and got a Another Xbox. And guess what one works and the other doesn't for Xbox Live.
I am connected through my router with no ports open. So go fig.

It would be nice to see an eeprom dump of both and version numbers, etc.

Heh...

Well -I- was starting to get worried that there was something indeed in the Xbox that had been overlooked.

Thanks, you confirmed that this is not the case.
