hi can any one help having loads of trouble getting my xbox on live just got a netgear modem but getting no joy?

 

Have you run the tester program on the xbox to tell you where it is getting stuck. Depending on where your stuck I can help but it more than likely you need to give the xbox a static ip address, allow NAT to that ip address and then open some ports on the firewall for that ip address.

 

Sorry to be blunt but it does not work on AOL, i was about to buy the wireless adaptor for mine when the guy at the computer shop informed me that Xbox live does not work on AOL.

Do a google for : xbox live aol as there appear to be a number of people who have had and resolved this problem one way or another.

 

Im on AOL with my xbox m8,the trouble i had was going wireless with AOL they put blocks on the bt lines or something just so you would upgrade the package.If you are already wireless with the pc the xbox should pick it,altho have you got a secured connection then you would have to input the code on the xbox set up page then it should pick it up.

Like the other guys said run a connection test to see where it is failing.

Does that mean i can get online??? I might give it a shot, I have a spare modem since i went wireless, i might try that before i decide to buy the wireless adaptor at £50

 

thanks ill give aol a call later if i cant do it aol wil have to go

If you havent got the wireless adaptor for the xbox your connection must be shared with a ethernet cable,aol customer services are rubbish m8 i wouldnt bother unless you ask to speak to someone in this country.( which is your right by the way )

 

anyone got a resolution for this. Just tried it now, all ok but failed on the live bit. no errors. Have connected thru router. xbox live worked so i know it does, anything different for xbox 360 live?

 

well we are on aol, have a netgear wireless router, and bought the xbox 360 adaptor plugged it in and hey presto no probs at all

 

good stuff. Also got wireless netgear & 360 adapter on its way...just trying it wired atm
