2) MS is doing work with the service until the official launch so that is why people are experiencing problems.
3) I received my Xbox Live retail disc in the mail and it says that my service will be activated on 11.14.02
4) I have tried disabling my Matrix and using my original HD, and XBox Live is still not found. This "blocking of Xboxes" is just lame.

Yes, it is obvious that MS is preparing to officially launch the service this week. Give it a couple days.

I can't logon with MotoGp/Whacked demo new or beta. I can not logon to Mechassault. I can logon with Fever demo and dash. This is from a modded system. Not sure what to think.

XBOX LIVE IS NOT OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED YET. PEOPLE WILL GET PROBLEMS BEFORE THE OFFICIAL LAUNCH. IS THIS TOO OF A COMPLEX IDEA TO UNDERSTAND?
I wish opjose was here right now...

Xbox Live FAQ v1.0
Questions
Q)Why can't I connect to Xbox Live? I got the retail kit at Walmart but it says I can't connect. What the hell? Are they blocking my modded system?
A)Xbox Live is not officially launched yet. Try Thursday/Friday.

im in the UK and have had my beta kit for just 3 days now and only managed to play twice, once on monday and once this eve on my mates xbox.
im gutted to say the least.
i know all you guts are experts and stuff, but the only connection i can make between logging on and not is a mod.
it would be fair to say that the majority of ppl that cant get on now are ppl with modded boxes.
i do hope im so wrong and you're spot on.

Starting at Noon today on a NEVER BEEN MODDED Xbox.
12pm - Xbox LIVE retail version WORKING on the new retail servers. (didn't try the beta disc)
12:30pm today - flashed Matrix modchip with EvoX2.5 color bios, installed. Works. (see orange/red Xbox logo)
12:45pm - Launch MotoGP Online Demo Retail disc. Select my username, long pause, "Your Xbox console cannot connect to Xbox Live".
12:50pm - Removed Matrix completely, launch same MotoGP disc, Xbox Live WORKS.
1:00pm - Install Matrix, set to "Swap Mode". Launch MotoGP retail disc, "Your Xbox console cannot connect to Xbox Live". Hit Eject, push tray back in, launch MotoGP, and I get in!
This cannot be a coincidence!!!!
P.S. The connection test in the dashboard works. Says Connected regardless of bios mod.

Not sure about everyone elses problem.. For all we know they can all be newbies with router/firewall problems. Perhaps xbox live also detects tampering with the hard drive and is causing problems for all those who installed Evox on it. So many possibilities.
But what i do know for sure is that the color of the little LEDs on my Matrix chip is completely in sync with my (in)ability to successfully login to Xbox Live. Red = Can Login, Green = "Your Xbox cannot connect to Xbox Live"

Try using a NEW XBOX MODDED or NOT and you will get connected at least temporary. Use an OLDER XBOX that was modded that worked before the 11th and ot wont work now. MS has temporarly blocked RETAIL clients and some Betas from boggin down the server before the real deal is ready. Come friday Modded and Unmodded will be online and playing.

I think it is important to note that I have not seen a report that ANYONE has been able to connect with a modchip enabled (In the US). It is likely that yes there are server problems and people with non-modded boxes are having issues connecting because of that. But that is most likely a red herring as NOONE can connect with a modded xbox (mod enabled).
I think there have been plenty of tests done where an xbox can connect with modchip turned off but can't when the modchip is enabled. Very repeatably too.
The only interesting thing is that some people with modchips cannot connect even when they disable their modchips. Even when they are booting from a yboxdash with the original hard drive. Though it may just be server issues preventing people from connecting when they have the modchips disabled.
Unfortunately due to the server ups and downs this is a very confusing time to sort these problems out.
I do believe, however, that there has been enough proof showing that they are detecting modchips.

I still dont have live but i will get it next week.
If u think that i will risk and use it with my moded xbox you are wrong.
If you are saying that M$ does not detect our xbox why you dont try it yourself to see if its true or not?

5 systems:
1) TSOP EVOX2.5 evoxdash 120GB. XBox Live not found.
2) TSOP EVOX2.5 evoxdash 120GB. XBox Live not found.
3) TSOP EVOX2.5 evoxdash 80GB. Connected to XBox Live, connectivity problems.
4) TSOP Complex Orig. HDD. Connected to XBox Live, no problems at all.
5) Retail Non Modded. Connected to XBox Live, no problems at all.
Yeah, it has to be something where they are blocking serials of ppl that have been in beta for a while to reduce server load until Friday.

Everytime I put in my EvoX cd (because of Live I made the origanal MS dash the xboxdash.xbe file and leaving it as that, just using EvoX on a cdrw now) my Xbox's IP gets buggered to, you guessed it, the IP that I have in the config file (192.168.0.2) so I can connect to the box from my PC.
After using said EvoX, I go load up something and it cannot connect. From here, go back to the MS Dashboard the Live settings, IP settings and it's been changed from Automatic to 192.168.02. Hmm, no wonder it can't connect, that's the IP addy for internal stuff. Change that back to automatic and let it find the network again and all is good.
Then I go back to the game, and all is good. I haven't tried a Live game for a week though however because I knew of the transition the network would be taking, that and I'm bored with MotoGP and want to play hockey.
Maybe tommorow (14th) I'll try the final retail Live disc they;ve sent me and try to connect and report my findings.

| I'll bring home a plain old hub tomorrow and get a network capture of the login and post it on here if I can't discover anything myself. If someone could get a network capture of a successful login and a failed one using the same account, that would be awesome for analysis. If someone has a regular hub (Not a switch) and two Xboxes using the same account (One connects, the other doesnt) and you are willing to help, just ask for assistance in capturing the network traffic. |
My retail kit connects fine (I'm one of 3 people that didn't get in on the beta). I just set up my account last night with my matrix disabled. Like others have posted, I can put in a live disk with the matrix turned on and get the "could not connect to live" message, but the dash connects fine. I take out the disk and put it back in to disabled the matrix (mode 3), and hit connect again, and connect with no problem. I did this about 5 times in a row to verify last night.
Unfortunately, I only had a switch at home, too, so I couldn't get a capture of this either - even though that was my first inclination. I'm looking to try again tonight with a capture of what each looks like - works (no matrix) and does not work (with matrix), but I was just wondering what kind of luck you had last night, too.
