Xbox 360 can't get IP Address?

I recently bought an Airport Extreme 802.11n. It works great with my Powerbook. I keep the AEBS on 802.11n/b/g compatibility.
I hadn't played Xbox 360 in a while (with Xbox Live).
I bought Halo3 yesterday.
I turned on the Xbox (Ghost Recon disc was in the tray), and it automatically logged me into Xbox live. I ejected Ghost Recon, popped in Halo3, Halo3 said there was an update. Downloaded the update fine (wirelessly), played some single player mode.
About an hour into the game, it froze. Restarted the Xbox, tried to pick up where I left off. The game never saved. GRRR. Guess that's another topic altogether.
I was so frustrated, I decided to just see what demos were available on Live and play something else.
That's when the problems started. Xbox sees my Airport SSID fine and logs in fine, but fails at the IP Address test.
I rebooted the Airport, the Xbox and my cable modem. Nothing makes it work. I'm stuck. The thing that kills me is that it obviously connected to download the Halo3 update, and this makes me wonder if somehow the update didn't hose the connection.
Any ideas?
Thx.

If anyone else comes across this problem, this is what worked for me...
Unplug the Xbox USB wireless adapter on the back of the Xbox and plug it back in. That's it. I guess it needed some sort of refresh/release/reboot that rebooting the Xbox itself didn't provide.

XBox 360 can't get IP / Directv gets IP, but showing "local only"

I have two Linksys WRT54GL's using DD-WRT firmware. One is serving as a router and broadcasting, while the other is serving as a wired bridge. The wired bridge is working, a laptop wired up to it connects to the internet fine. However, my Xbox 360 can't get an ip address, and DirecTV gets an IP address, but connects only to the local network, not the internet. Any suggestions? It doesn't seem to be the specific port, as I've used the laptop on all 4.

Problem Solved!
First, I re-configured my AEBS to allow DHCP sharing of a public IP address.
Second, I re-set the new XBox 360 to its factory default settings.
Third, I used the search function on the XBox 360 to locate my home network and AEBS.
Fourth, I re-booted my modem (I'm a Comcast broadband user) and then re-booted my AEBS.
Fifth, I restarted my XBox 360 service.
Voila! My XBox 360 connected via my home network AEBS to the internet and now my 21-year old is out of my hair as he plays Halo!

Xbox 360 can't even detect router in the house at all now???

My Xbox 360 was working just fine then my internet went out got that fixed now my Xbox 360 can't even detect a router in the house anymore. It can't detect a network,it doesn't even give me a wireless option to connect to on my 360,I ran the Linksys Easylink Advisor,it shows my 360 on there but it isn't lit up like it use to be. I called Linksys they can't even get it back online......I don't know what else to do to make it detect my 360,when they fixed my internet they bridged my router,don't know if that has anything to do with it or not.

My iPhone is stolen. How can I get my address book back from the iCloud? I should have synchronized my iPad address book. However, I loss some recent contacts from iPhone.

I use my iPad to get the address book backed up by iCloud from my iPhone. However, I cannot see the recent new contacts from my iPad. Is there anyway to check the iCloud server to see if my address book backup from my iPhone is still there?

How can I get the address book to sort by "Last" name (using v 31.3.0).

After a computer crash, I had to load Thunderbird (v31.3.0) back into my machine running Windows 8.1, and I successfully imported my address book back up file into Thunderbird (v31.3.0).
My problem is that I don't see an option to sort the address book by "Last" name, which was available with the version of Thunderbird I had before the crash.
How can I get the address book to sort by "Last" name?

In 'Address Book'
Select address book
'View' > 'Show name as' > 'Last/First'
The you can sort by Name.
Either click on 'Name' column header to change sort order,
If reversed, then click on 'Name' column header again to reverse the order.
Or
'View' > 'Sort By' > choose 'Name' and 'Ascending'

I can, I can't get my address book to snyc with my ipad2. I'm using Outlook express 2004. I followe the steps in itunes, but still no contacts. Any suggestions?

Can't get my address book to sync to IPAD2. Using Outlook Express 2004. I followed the steps in Itunes, but still not contacts. Any suggestions?

Mine is doing the exact same thing, and nobody on any of these threads has had any luck fixing it yet, so far as I can tell. iSync is worthless since it simply won't see the ipod and basically is not used at all now as .mac is done through its own preference window. What did work for me, and was quite easily done, was to just open your ipod through the finder and delete the vcard data in the contacts folder. Export your contacts from address book as a vcard to that contacts folder on your ipod, and it all works fine.
Still won't sync...but at least this only takes a minute to do. I'd like to actually fix it though.

Xbox 360 and apple airport ip address HELP PLEASE!

hey i just got an xbox 360 and i got the wireless internet adapter than microsoft makes to pick up my wireless internet. I have an ADSL ethernet modem that is plugged into my Airport, which is streaming in my house. So on my xbox i got the test for the wireless connection to work. then the test for the IP address failed. I have looked online to find the IP address, but i dont know which one i need (of the computer? the airport? the modem box?) and the subnet mask, and gateway, and the DNS numbers. can anyone help please? i have mac os X if that helps

i think that's what i mean. sorry im so confusing. i have a mac laptop, which is connected to my wireless network at home, which is an apple airport (you know the little white box that plugs into the electrical outlet) which is also plugged into an ADSL ethernet modem box from US Robotics (which is my cable internet). so then i will be able to find the IP of the airport where? network settings? and last thing, if that is the gateway for the xbox, what is the subnet mask, and the actual ip address of the xbox?
also, if this helps, when i look at Network, under System preferences, Airport is the network, and under TCP/IP it says that the IP Address is 10.0.1.2, the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, and the Router is 10.0.1.1

XBOX 360 can no longer connect

My BT homehub router completely stopped working after a lightning storm a couple of weeks ago. I got sent a new router and sent the old one back. Plugged it in and everything worked great.
Unfortunately I started up my xbox 360 today and it can no longer connect to the router. It is wired directly to the router. I can't even get to the screen when it asks me to configure the network.
I have tried changing the cable, unplugging everything and plugging everything back in, switching everything on and off, resetting my xbox to factory settings. I'm completely at a loss.
Can anyone help?!

It could be that they have sent you a refurbished homehub. Try a factory reset of the homehub by pressing a pin into the recess on the rear for about 20 seconds. This will reset the homehubs configuration settings.
Retry connecting your xbox. If it still won't connect try connecting to a different port on the hub. If it still won't connect can you plug a laptop or your PC into the hub to ensure that the ports are OK.

My Xbox 360 can't join my wireless network

I have an Apple wireless network but I can't get my Xbox to resolve an IP address when it tries to join the network. Other devices join the network with no problems. I've even got my Xbox to join my neighbours Apple wireless network. There must be some DHCP setting I need to change.

Yes, using WEP.
One of the problems with WEP is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
In order to make things easier for people, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling people to use simple memorable WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys.
The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be hashed differently on a Netgear client and vice versa.
One thing is a 13 character 128 bit WEP password will be hashed by all vendors in the same way (if you use 40bit WEP then a 5 character password is required).
Though sometimes not even that works and the HEX key must be used regardless.
Choosing a password for networks that use Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108058
The Xbox can log on, just can't resolve an IP
It is probably able to see the network, but is failing to authenticate which means it won't be assigned an IP address.

Xbox 360 can't find PC (WRT54G)

My PC (via windows media player 11) recognizes my xbox 360 on the network, and i've allowed it. However, when i try to connect to my PC from the xbox, it can't find it. I've tried everything suggested, such as changing port forwarding, giving my PC a static IP address, etc, and nothing works. What am I missing?

you have to download and install the Media centre extender software please goto the following site for instructions - http://www.xbox.com/en-US/pcsetup/alldownloads.htm thank you.

Can't get ipv6 address assigned correctly.

I use NetworkManager and dhclient for auto-configuration but it has some weird problems.
When I boot up my laptop, I only have chance to get access to ipv6 network, when I fail, I tried to delete the connection in Network Management Settings, and then added a new profile, disable and then enable the network again. Sometimes it works well, but sometimes it failed to auto-config.
If I use the command:
$ ip -6 rout
then I'll get the following message:
unreachable fe80::/64 dev lo proto kernel metric 256 error -101
fe80::/64 dev wlan0 proto kernel metric 256
default via fe80::2e0:2ff:fe54:59 dev wlan0 proto static metric 1
every time the default gateway is configured well, sometimes the address the address is missed , and if I do the following:
$ ping6 -I wlan0 -c 4 fe80::2e0:2ff:fe54:59
It responses normally.
PING fe80::2e0:2ff:fe54:59(fe80::2e0:2ff:fe54:59) from fe80::1034:56ff:fe78:9124 wlan0: 56 data bytes

I found I just sometimes can get the ipv6 address start with 2001:
If the address is assigned, then:
$ ping6 ipv6.google.com
PING ipv6.google.com(ipv6.google.com) 56 data bytes
^C
--- ipv6.google.com ping statistics ---
11 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 10008ms
response nothing!
Then I switch into Windows 7, if something like above happened, then I managed to set the MAC address to a random value such as 12-34-56-78-91-23, soon, the problem will be corrected, I'll get a new ipv6 address assigned by DHCPv6 server. If I switch back to arch, set the MAC address in NetworkManager, it didn't have function at most time, and the ipv6 address even won't change!
Can anyone help me with this problem?
by the way, I never get ipv6 address when I use dhcpcd.

Just in case you are wondering where your post has been gone: The moderators board received this message from you:
I dont need tunnel to access to ipv6, My univ use dual-stack to get both ipv4 and v6 work around all campus.
This is because you inadvertently used the "Report" link. But don't worry this happens rather often.
