Hi,

I am trying to log my 360 into live but my college uses Cisco Clean Access Agent. I downloaded it to my laptop and I have to use a username and password.

I cant get on live through the ethernet or wireless connection.

I tried to bridge a connection with my laptop wirelessly connected to the internet and my router. My 360 would connect to the router wirelessly but it wouldn't work.

I put in the PPPoE information with my username and password hoping it would work, but alas, it doesn't.



Any help to bypass this? or do I have to make a complete ethernet bridge to get xbox live.

Do you think its possible to use maybe an Ad Hoc Network instead or something?

Write down the MAC address of your 360 and take it to your IT department.  Assuming they know how to use the web interface of Clean Access, they can add your MAC into a filter that will allow your 360 to skip the integrity checks of Clean Access.

I have to do this for game consoles every semester, so I know for a fact that it works.

Hope that helps ya.

how laggy is the connection with clean access?


I did the MAC spoofing and it told me moderate NAT but it is so slow. I get lag like i've never seen

where do you go to school
because my school has that cisco shit thing
and im still trying to find a way around it

is it a bandwidth issue? i lived at UMass Lowell when i was a freshman, and the line wasn't fast enough. basically, the bandwidth we had was being split too many ways. I was on a comp sci floor (40 people who know how to use alot of bandwidth), and everyones connection went slow (games lagging on live (halo, doa, everything), on pc's (wow, diablo2, guild wars), and all in all, the internet just crawled.

It depends on how they have things routed.  If your dorm rooms are setup 'in-band' then all traffic will be validated.  So it would be slower this way.  If it's setup 'out-of-band' it will authenticate you once with a username and password, and then will let your mac pass through until your 'session' expires (usually lasts one day to three days at most colleges), or until your port changes state from link to no link.

But, if you've successfully spoofed the mac and it's just incredibly slow, I could only assume that they don't allow or don't want any console gaming.  They could be shaping your LIVE traffic with a packeteer or similar appliance.

But if I were you, I'd ask about the policy on console gaming.  If it's allowed, give them your mac so they can exempt it and be done with the aggravation.

This is a great topic for me because I, too, am having problems getting onto Xbox Live from my dorm room.  The campus offers Wi-Fi but I have to log in with a name and password every time I boot up my computer.  The campus doesn't use Cisco, though, it uses BlueSocket.  Not sure if anybody out there has experience with this to tell me if I can get online or not.

(Also, they block telnet.  Not sure why this is, but if anyone can help me get around -that-, I'd appreciate it.)

Another question I have is should I run ethernet to my computer and log in like that or just spend the $100 on the wireless adapter for my 360?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Ok... the easiest thing to do is to is change your mac address on your 360 to what your computer is

Then you should put in the host name that your computer is called

Then Authenticate the network port by logging into clean access with your computer and then

Quickly switch the cord to your 360

and the port should be authenticated and the network will think your 360 is your computer

I thank you for your input, though there's a problem.  There aren't any Ethernet ports in the dorms, it's all Wi-Fi.  I -can- set my 360 MAC and IP addresses if I have to, but I can't do any cable swapping.  Best I can do is wire my 360 into my computer.

Has anyone gotten this to work? I tried it and when I test the connection I get past the DNS server test but it fails the MTU test? Suggestions?

[doomgaze_86]

It's not exactly a solution (since your PC needs to be on when you're playing on Live), but what if you set up internet connection sharing and connected your PC to your 360 via an ethernet crossover cable? I had to do that in school since my room had 1 ethernet port and routers/hubs/switches were not allowed...

I got it to work. Make sure you have the right MAC address and host name. Here's a link to help you find your MAC address: http://www.wikihow.c...f-Your-Computer . Also make sure you log onto Clean Access first every time try to connect to XBL. A word of note: make sure that when you log onto the Clean Access your computer is connected to the wall via your xbox's ethernet cord and all wireless receivers are turned off. I think an maybe you get a different MAC address depending on if you're connected via wireless or ethernet cable. I don't know.
