seeing as no-one else answered, i shall try. remember at all times up till now i though i was the noob - joking (IMG:

as far as i know banned is banned, as in no connection to live, no online games, no nothing apart from single player offline play & updates that are forced by newer games - this might not be absolutely correct but its as far as i understand it (not banned yay!!!)
if you fail some of the network tests but can still play online i suggest you have a look at your NAT or firewall settings
i had problems connecting to games & it was my NAT being too strict - sorted now (IMG:

other than that im running iXtreme1.2c with no problems
good luck
*edit*
forgot to say.
my old d-link router (biggest POS ive owned btw) had real problems with live, it would let me play online but randomly disconnect me & it always failed the network tests no matter how i configured it.
i guess try another router if your sure you can play online & your NAT & firewall are set right (or dont worry about it, what id do)
for the record my router now is a linksys wag200g & it works great with the live ports opened up
