| ok..got my kit on friday, did the update and just running it off of my original hd. in the network settings position it says im connected to xbox live. no errors. when i leave that screen to go create my account for the first time it says after i choose my region, (usa) that xbox live is not responding. i called ms, they couldnt figure out the problem, and elevated the status and will be "getting back to me". did anyone have this problem ? my isp is optimum online; im running wingate 4.5.2, dchp enabled, and yes my xbox is connected to live in network. if i change settings it wont even let me go to the choose region in create account. |
Connect your DSL/Cable modem directly to the Xbox and turn on both.
Make sure you are connected and try again.
After you have established an account try putting everything back again.

A direct connection should work no matter what.
Set the Xbox to get an address via DHCP and check to see what it gets.
Also check it again in the XBLive panel and verify connectivity.
If it says that connectivity is good, you should be able to register.

go start-run

select from the drop down box your network card (not ppp)
you adapter address is your mac address, put it in your xbox.

As was correctly surmised (though not properly stated) one common problem is the MAC address.
Since the PC is "authorized" in your ISP's MAC table you may have to adjust your Xbox's MAC address via the Live Control Panel to correspond to what your PC's is.
This way the ISP sees your Xbox as authorized to communicate via the cable modem/dsl.
Most newer providers are moving away with MAC authorization tables though and this will not be a problem for most people.
Some routers (CISCO!) are known to block the ports used by XBLive. This is documented in the XbLive Beta Forums.

They will need to change or update the firmware in the router to stop this.
