Xbox Live Help Needed Urgently!!

[Street Turk]

Hi guys,

Ths has been pissing me off all night...3 hours and still nothing.

Trying to get back on Xbox Live on my new XBox. I am using an account i created (it is not expired and is activated).

Right...

It simply will not let me get on Live. I have AOL and have done the ICS as suggested in other forums on the topic.

My XBox finds the Cable, finds the IP but cant match up the DNS!!!

I have AOL and am using a crossover cable...

This is driving me mad-please could somebody suggest what i should do...

I dont mnd starting from scratch as long as i can get on...

Going to sleep now cos ****ing annoyed and knackered-will look/respond first thing tomorrow

Thanks in advance,

Anyone?

Best advice I can give is don't connect it via the PC - plug it straight into the modem !!

If you do that, set IP etc to AUTOMATIC and cross yer fingers. Did you contact AOL ? When I setup my XBOX I had to phone telewest and give them it's MAC address before it would work !!

I'll give that a go!

Checked through these pages and have a variety of answers that I can try.

So annoying-why make it so complicated to get online!?!?!!?
