Live not working for me... x_X
hi guys, haven't been on here in ages! i was wondering if anyone knew whats going on with my 360 cause i haven't been able to access live for quite some time now. it says my MTU isn't working so i went onto my router and changed it to the recommended number and i saved the settings. then i tested my connection on the 360 and it passed the MTU but then failed the xbox live one (you know, second to bottom on the test screen bit). so anyways i tried testing it again and then MTU failed again x_X so i can get the MTU to work if i connect as soon as i save settings on the router but if i leave it for longer than 5 mins it fails again... stupid 360... i never had this problem before, i've been on live since december with the same router and everything, also my router is one of the recommended ones on xbox.com... i really can't figure out whats wrong... =(

i was just curious why my xbox, not 360 isnt working, it just wont let me on:\ please tell me
dude really wtf (19-May-06 05:01)
re: Live not working for me... x_X
It's because of the angle of your xbox on it's surface by the sounds of things. Going by your detailed description of the problem.
I have dsl and a ethernet cable and acount for xbox live and when i hook it up and get to the xbox live dashboard it says it cant connect to xbox live. IT says theres no ip address or something like that and my cable are all connected what do i do??

re: Live not working for me... x_X
i had the same kind of problem and what worked for me was turn it all off, the router, broadband box, and your xbox. turn on the broadband and leave it for about 5 mins then turn on your router and leave that for 5 mins. turn on your 360 and hopefully that should work.

shadow (21-Mar-08 02:23)
re: Live not working for me... x_X
your settings on your router are not right find your manual or the router ip adress and change your mtu to 1500 ok.
brian (04-Apr-08 23:16)
re: Live not working for me... x_X
xbox cant work below 1300 you need to get inside yout router and change your mtu settings if thisis possible then youneed to do this 1.get your ethenet cable connet it to your computer then connect it to your router.2 then start up your internet web page at the top http type 198.163.0.01 to go to router then it will ask for password. 3 admin admin is usually the password.4. goto settings and you will see mtu 1300 1400 1500.... if it is lower than 1300 change it to 1500 then savesettings it will work.

re: Live not working for me... x_X
hi everyone who has problems with their x box live connections ,the reason why no can sign on is x box live is the server has shut down for maintence for 24 hours,it it for the new dashboard which will be available later on in the year try tomorrow after 8 am then should be back online

Ya MTU failing here and it worked fine up until early this morning. I know Live is down but I don't get it... If it were a problem with the XBox Live, shouldn't the test pass your MTU and fail the XbOx Live part? They should really fix that.

I live in a dorm and have already registered my mac address with the it department and when i test my connection it passes everything execpt for the xbox live section. I have tried putting in the same information as my computer but it still wont work. I have a direct connection to the wall as we are not allowed to have routers. Does anyone have any advice.
