hi guys, having trouble connecting for the first time, keep getting dns failed.
i am using tiscali through a router into the 360.

anyone help

carlos..

 

Im using the same setup, belkin router though, i just plugged my 360 into, ran through the setup and its been fine since.

 

could it be the router i am using is not compatable?

I'm on Tiscali with a Belkinn 54g too. Just ran through the initial set up and I was sorted. Is your PC working OK from the router?

 

the set up i used was:
tel line to modem
modem to pc
ethernet pc to router
ethernet router to xbox 360

the internet was working fine.

Am using Tiscali B/B myself with the Xbox360. Router should'nt make a difference as ive had a couple of different brands (Linksys/Belkin, Original 360 lasted longer than router).


Phone line - Router - Ethernet Cables - Xbox360 + PS2

*Running on WiFi - 2x Laptops/2x Desktops/1xIpaq


Using the Ethernet Cable the 360 should be Plug n' Play.
If I remember correctly I set DNS to open during setup.

 

Don't you want the modem plugged into the router? If it's into the PC won't you need to enable Internet Connection Sharing and then wants the point of having a router as a switch/hub is all you need?

 

^^^^
I suppose it depends if it is a broadband router or not....

 

My Belkin router has an internal modem, so i just have an Ethernet from the PC to the router, then the standard 360 cable from the router to the 360.

 

can anyone give me the DNS settings for tiscali please?

 

un plug router at mains then plug in again

 

I found the following quite useful. The wireless/wired connection is fine but I didnt know what I had to tick/unplug, etc.
