help me!?!?! please?

FoLLY · 07-08-2006, 09:14 AM

So I have been having problems with my internet connection. I have been red bar during halo games, and my internet has been slow as shit for my computer. So this morning i decided to reset my router and modem. I unlplugged both and reset them. So my computer is now running a tiny bit faster, but now my xbox can not find my IP address on my computer. Im kind of lost as what to do next, so if anyone has any ideas im welcome to them. Also I know im going to have to call my internet provider because my connection since I moved into my new house has gotten worse and worse.

Sincerely,
FoLLY

ah i have had these problems before.

1. your internet might be down in you are, especially if u have dsl
2. with the ip adress, go to the xbox live menu you will want to change your ip adress to automatic.

try that

FoLLY · 07-08-2006, 09:25 AM

Ok so the I tried number 2, and it was already set to automatic and i saw my IP address in the menu. So i am now even more confused.

KoS x SiKnESs · 07-08-2006, 09:28 AM

hmm...there was one time when my xbl wasent working, and it said ip aderss is not set to automatic. but when i looked there it already said automatic, but i changes it any way.

and also, when they talk about your ip adress, dont they give you a list of reasons and suggestion, but still try out what i said

PhaLanX · 07-08-2006, 09:38 AM

1. Set IP Address to "Manual"
2. Make IP Address blank
3. Set IP Adress to "Automatic"
4. Go 'back' to the main "Network Settings" menu
5. Select 'Connect'

what this does it clears the IP that the xbox has stored in the memory. Setting it blank gives it an invalid IP... thus, when you try to 'connect' your xbox will automatically configure a new IP. At this point, if it finds and IP and connects to xbox live, you are all set. If it does not... you should get an error that gives a little better idea as to what the issue is.

If its an error with the DNS servers, you can try the same method above ... obviously making the DNS servers blank.

Hope it helps

When it comes to computers/AV.... there is very little I can't do. Though it is hard sometimes when I can't be right in front of the PC to see exactly whats happening.

DeXtA · 07-08-2006, 10:04 AM

Yeah I had this problem when my Dad reset my Router. Do exactly what Phalanx said, manual, blank, the automatic, that WILL fix it trust me. It has happened several times to me and this always works. Hope to see you back on Xbox Live man

FoLLY · 07-08-2006, 10:20 AM

Yea, me and phalanx are working on it now, thanks everyone for the advice.
