Well, I've been reading posts here for a few hours / days and I still can't figure it out. I have never used live. I have had my XB since Christmas. Last week I bought and installed an X3 chip which is working fine and a new hard drive. A couple of days ago I decided to try to connect to live so I held down the button to disable live and then tried to connect. Everything went fine for the first three checks and then it said Xbox Live Not Found. So, I called xbox support and no matter what we tried it wouldn't connect. Just wondering what everyone here thinks the problem is? Did I get banned even before I've signed up?

Your post is a little confusing. ... Alot of those things can keep you from getting out. If its a router or firewall, check to make sure that you are allowing port 3074 through the firewall...

If you're brave enough, try this eh:

(i) disconnect the ethernet cable and boot with the chip on

(ii) delete the /E/CACHE directory

(iii) except for the Fonts and Audio folders (and their contents), delete everything else from /C

(iv) restart the box (cold boot) with Tiger Woods 2005 in the drive and the chip disabled

(v) it will update your dashboard (and possibly more, hopefully overcoming the connection issue)

(vi) remove the disc and restart the box to make sure the dash boots with the chip disabled

(vii) connect the ethernet cable and verify the network settings are set to automatic (whereever possible/applicable)

(viii) load Tiger Woods 2005 into the drive (so the dash automatically hot boots it) and retry accessing XBL with it eh...

Taking a quick look online at the Belkin router (I've never used one), it appears that there is a firewall and

ruddyone

I am having this exact same problem. I have a X2.6 and a new (locked) 120 gig hard drive. I've never used XBL before and I am experiencing you exact problem. Maybe this could have something to do with the the W,X,Y,Z codes you get on your xbox if you press the y-button while "help" is highlighted after it does the whole "[-] Cables connected [-] IP Configured [-] DNS Resolved [X] Xbox Live Cannot Be Found" I remember seeing a thread about a C2 error in this code. I'm pretty sure we're not banned, but I'd like to know what's going on.

wheew - finally figured it out!

somehow my eeprom was corrupted. I don't know how.

I fixed it by changing my video settings from NTSC to PAL as described in this post:
