wnaplay1647545503 Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 I dont know anything about the xbox, but my kids got one for christmas. Now my son has a gift card for x box live. He bought a ethernet cable and connected it to the linksys router. I went on my laptop and got the ip address, subnet mask, and default settings and entered them into the media center on the xbox. We did the test connection feature and it says its not connected. This shit is stupid the way theres so many options on this damn thing. games need an on/off button thats it. Any help is appreciated or if someone can walk me through it, that would great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODoyle Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 It should auto connect...Is your router set up to be DHCP or what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck531 Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 You shouldn't have to do anything with the media center piece. Just put everything on auto and it should connect. You can go into the router and view the DHCP tables and see if the xbox is pulling an IP address. There's a section on the xbox that will let you test your connection. I'd run that and see how it goes. Seriously.. even a caveman could do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted May 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 Guys I know absolutely shit about any of this stuff except on/off. I turn it on and do what go to game marketplace or windows media center? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted May 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 I go to game marketplace. It says join xbox live, I click ok, it then says you have to exit current session, click ok, then it says cant connect, I click test connection it comes to a netwrok settings page, I can configure connection, test xbox live test pc connection, test windows media center. My ethernet cable is plugged into one of the many open slots on back of the linksys router, is this right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted May 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 I went to configure network and put in the settings I got from my laptop which were the ip address, subnet mask and gateway/default. I click back and test the xbox live connection it comes up theres a problem with your connection I click more info and it tells me to turn everything off again.
