Need help connecting 360 to internet
 

Can't get my 360 to connect to the internet. I have AT&T uverse and have plugged the 360 directly into the router. The only thing plugged into the router is the cable and the 360. My computer is on the wireless. Any suggestions?

If I remember correctly, the 360 needs to be either hooked directly into the modem/router throuth an ethernet cable, or be hooked up wirelessly with the wireless adapther (around $100), my personal opinion is that you tend to get more lag with wireless hookup with gaming, so it is often better to have a direct hookup.:2

it's currently hooked up to my router....don't know why I said gateway. It's a 2wire from AT&T.

Just spin around in one complete circle before plugging in. :rolleyes:

Re: Need help connecting 360 to internet
 

haha did that :r

I am not familar with AT&T Uverse, however make sure your modem is plugged in and running fine. Run a cat-5 from your modem to your router then a cat-5 from your xbox to your router. Go into setting on the xbox and run the connection test and it should guide you through everything. You may need to open up some ports too, do a Google search for Xbox Live ports.

Done all that....still no connection :confused:

Re: Need help connecting 360 to internet
 

Until you get an xboxlive account, you're not going to see much that leads you to believe you're hooked up to the internet.
Kneo's right on the money, do what he said. :tu

Re: Need help connecting 360 to internet
 

Check to make sure you have the cat5 from the modem plugged into the correct (input) port on the router. It's really easy to get the wrong one, on some routers it's pretty ambiguous.

Re: Need help connecting 360 to internet
 

Not familiar with the setup u have, but did you turn the router off and on again while plugged into the 360? I know mine sometimes doesn't recognize the xbox when i move it around between 2 different rooms until I turn off the router and restart it

Re: Need help connecting 360 to internet
 

all the cables are right...this is really starting to aggravate me.

Re: Need help connecting 360 to internet
 

When you run the connection test what does it say?

Re: Need help connecting 360 to internet
 

I don't have the 360 but the PS3 and the Wii are both connected into Uverse. There should not be anything special with Uverse that would make it any different.

Does the 360 have a connection light when the cable is plugged in and transmitting?

If possible you might have to drag the computer down to the router just to make sure that it is transmitting on those 4 ports in the middle.

Re: Need help connecting 360 to internet
 

Disconnected

Did you plug the ps3 directly into the 2wire?

When I plug the 360 into the ports the light doesn't come on. Tried the computer and the lights come on...:hm

Re: Need help connecting 360 to internet
 

That would deffinately send me to the problem on the 360. A bad port or look at the system settings to see if there is a way to turn on/off the internet connection.

Can the 360 use the usb wireless that you are using with the computer?

Re: Need help connecting 360 to internet
 

I have done both wired and wireless (current) with the PS3.

Re: Need help connecting 360 to internet
 

Not sure I understand the question?

Re: Need help connecting 360 to internet
 

u can look up using lap top as wireless adapter on YouTube and that will work very well wirelessly. It's easy and you don't have to buy msfts stupid 100 adapter. Hardwire should work just by pluggin it in router to xbox no probs.

Re: Need help connecting 360 to internet
 

On the computer do you use a USB adapter to connect wirelessly to the 2 wire?

If so you might be able to use that on the 360 (if the 360 will allow 3rd party adapters).

Re: Need help connecting 360 to internet
 

I connect wirelessly with the laptop

Re: Need help connecting 360 to internet
 

If the laptop will connect to the gateway with a cord then I would say it's either the 360 port or a setting that is turned off.

Best of luck. I have to head out.

Re: Need help connecting 360 to internet
 

Screw it...just called MS and told them I was having a problem with the port. Also keep getting 3 red lights. It's still under warranty, so they are just gonna fix it for me.

Re: Need help connecting 360 to internet
 

They probably will send you a brand new 360. I had the "ring of death" and they sent me a brand new one plus a 1 month xbox live card. Oh they send a box prepaid to them too. Haven't had any problems yet.

Re: Need help connecting 360 to internet
 

Same deal here :ss

Re: Need help connecting 360 to internet
 

Well hell, "Red Ring of Death", there is your problem :rolleyes:

Re: Need help connecting 360 to internet
 

You could switch to a PS3. No RROD and free online :tu ;)

Re: Need help connecting 360 to internet
 

lol I know, but whenever I would reboot the system everything worked fine. It had done it a handful of times the last few months. So that coupled with the port failure they just said they would replace it :D

Oh yeah...I got GoW2 yesterday

Re: Need help connecting 360 to internet
 

Hells yeah son :tu

Re: Need help connecting 360 to internet
 

Ygpm.

Re: Need help connecting 360 to internet
 

Yeah the online is free but in reality for how crappy it is they would have a hard time charging for it....:D

Not a fanboy per se but XBOX Live simply blows away the online service offered by the Wii and the PS3.
