Hello,

Thank you for using justanswer.com, my name is XXXXX XXXXX X will be glad to assist you with your concern today.

Are you using an wired or wireless connection to the xbox?

If you run the internet test, does it pass or fail the test?

Thanks,

Joe

Customer replied 296 days ago.

I am using a wireless connection. I cannot run the internet test since it follows the

network test and must be done consecutively.

Expert:  custompartsguy replied 296 days ago.

Ok, I seen you stated that the problem was with xbox live and not the network.

So if you enter your network ssid and security code be it wpa/wep/wpa2 what happens?

If you test via a wired ethernet connection does it work?

Thanks,

joe

Customer replied 295 days and 23 hours ago.

To get into xbox live it first tries to establish a connection to the internet. This part of the procedure failed and you are told that either the password XXXXX XXXXX or you are not connecting to the intended network.

You are advised to select configure network, press Y t disconnect and set up your network again.

The next message says that it cannot obtain an IP address from the router or modem

and tells you to visit www.xbox.com/ipaddress-help for more help which I didn't understand.

You set it to auto and did not enter things like gateway, ip etc correct?

Have you tried an wired connection to the xbox just as a test?

Thanks,

Joe

Customer replied 295 days and 23 hours ago.

The settings are as follows:

Wireless mode 802.11g

Network name (SSID) 2wire038

Network type Infrastructure (channel 6)

Wireless security WEP

IP settings Automatic

IP address o.o.o.o

Subnet mask o.o.o.o

Gateway o.o.o.o

DNS Settings Automatic

Primary DNS server o.o.o.o

Secondary DNS server o.o.o.o

I don't have a way to do a wired test

And you do know your correct routers wep security key code?

Customer replied 295 days and 18 hours ago.

The first thing I am going to have you do is open ports on your router that xbox uses:

http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-live/connecting/network-ports-used-xbox-live

You will need to log into your router to make the changes.....

The instructions for doing so are found in the manual for the router if you need help with this please provide the model number of the router.

If you still need any further assistance just let me know.

Thanks,

Joe



Please
only rate my answer with 3 stars or more this is the only way I get paid for
services I have provided you. BONUSES are appreciated. If you feel you need to
leave a 1-2 star please instead reply back to me via the reply to expert
button. The first two rating faces are negative feedback the next three after
the first two are positive and only for those 3 do I get paid for my work. If
for any reason you are not satisfied please reply back to me for further
assistance to which I will be glad to help you. Please also note that while I
try very hard to correct the problem online for you, however not all problems
can be fixed in this way.

great day!
