then i disabled the modchip and try to log onto xbox live through the retail dvd.. wont connect.. ask me to go into troubleshoot network
IP was found
DNS was found
cannot find xbox live service
i tried to set it on auto detect..
IP was found
DNS was found
Cannot find xbox live service..
would give the normal suggestions of
If you are using a router make sure the router is Xbox Live compatible etc..
If you are using a router make sure the MTU settings are above 1350 etc..
the night before i upgrade to the new bios i was playing RB6-3 fine with the modchip off
*edit*
nevermind.. my DMZ was enabled which cause the cannot find XBOX LIVE SERIVCE error...
SoloTSi97> if you are connecting through a router make sure your DMZ is off and it should connect fine.

1. His has not had any Dash hacks applied to it.
2. His boots properly with the MOD OFF.

I think I'm going to take the box apart, remove the chip, reinstall the original HDD (basically returning it to "stock") and see what happens. If nothing else, it'll be all original when/if 2nd level support calls back.
Failing that ... I'll start looking for a "has problems reading discs" Xbox on ebay to scavenge parts from ... :-/

How did it end? Did your xbox find live again?
I am a litle bit afraid to use 4980/1 until I know that
its safe... any progress?

THen i replaced my original HDD and live was working again as usual.
So must be a problem with the new HDD!
Post by: HL_101 on January 25, 2004, 04:26:00 AM
that something is writen to the harddrive, by the bios/dash/game
that causes this.
Annyway I think that we realy should look in to this problem.
How many of the users of 4980/1 have tried to connect to
live after use of this bios (I guess that trying to access live
while booting 4980 is required for this error to happen)?
Post by: Heykrop on January 26, 2004, 04:02:00 AM
Just for a test. Anyone that is currently having this problem. Try going into the Memory area under the M$ Dash and delete your LIVE! Account. ( MAKE SURE you have all your needed info before doing this ) Now ReBoot the box and then try doing an account recovery from the LIVE! area of the dash.
If you are then able to connect to LIVE! then we will know this is the problem.

But reflashing your EEPROM also deletes your LIVE accounts, so it could be that.

I have not tried any of these suggestions. But, I swapped my original Xbox HDD back in and was still unable to connect to Live.
I may try wiping my hard drive and going with a clean Slayer's install and see what happens after I recover my account info. I will post if anything changes.

XBL still will not connect. Now, this is with a brand new HDD, and my EEPROM flashed back to the original EEPROM for this Xbox (banned from XBL, but still, it doesn't even connect far enough to tell me it's banned). I didn't even get into account recovery, selected the Xbox Live tab from the MS Dash, and was prompted with "Unable to establish Network Connection". Then, into the Network Troubleshooter and same old error.
My XYZ codes, since I don't know what they mean:
X:0000-F001
Y:00C2-03E0
Z:0000-0000
No AFFF or FFFF as was suggested above. I'm betting that somewhere along the line, while I was plugging/unplugging the network cable with all the rest of my equipment on (router, cable modem, etc.) ... something got zapped. Who knows. I didn't realize this many people were having trouble with it, though ... makes me wary about putting 4980/1 on my new Xbox.

I was able to connect to live with the chip off, however after about a week or 2 of use i began getting the same error mentioned..."Unable to Connect to Xbox Live" instantly.
I have seen the normal banned eeprom message and this is not it..it never gets that far.
I have since flashed down to 4978 and also copied all my original M$ HDD stuff back to the box( C and E Dir) still same error.
Even changed eeprom and still same prob.
Does any one know exactly how the 4980/1 patch works...what in memory it patches and where...more detail would be useful.
TIA!!

I have the same problem with 3 of my xbox's in my network.
I have 2 modified and one unmodded that are having the same symptoms. One of them thats modded hase a bad eeprom on it still, but everything has a IP from the router and detects a dns but says "Xbox Live Not Found"
Ive been through the "tech Support" if they want to call themselves that.... the 2 people i spoke to both came back to a router problem. Even though my wireless setup is LIVE compatible, and I was on live last week for over 3 months with the wireless setup. My network DID reset, so it has to be a router setting. I havent tried connecting it to my modem cuz it wont reach, but the unmodded bow is wired to the router itself and it cannot connect either. So i think that may lead to a ISP problem with the MTU's or a router settings.
The dashboard setting are normal andhave not been changed. The unmodified xbox is completely stock form the store. (Havent had a chance to mod that 1.6 yet. Hardly had the patience for a 1.0) That xbox has no updates whatsoever from live except what it needs for rainbow six. It has been playin fine. My ISP is comcast, and my equipment is ALL recommended for xbox live.
I plan on calling comcast in about a hour to find out what they think cuz M$ had me talking to 2 different people that kept me on the phone and running around my house reseting networks and unplugging cables with no resolve.
a quick thing to add here, I had this problem when I bought a new router setup and was configuring the settings. When i tried to access live a couple of days later, I got the same error and ended up on the phone with these guys for about a hour and they DID get it working! So I assume u may have to keep calling back till your reach someone competent
