Xbox Live wont connect

Hey Guys wondering if you could help me.
So basically the problem is when I connect to xbox live or the black ops 2 server from my Xbox everything on my network just lags and is unusable, even the game itself. 
Normally my connection is fine but today I boot my Xbox and then started to browse on my pc loading a few web pages like I normally do, The web pages failed to load. If I managed to get into a game on black ops I would just lag all over the place.
I'm connected by Ethernet by the way.
Now I have a ps3 with black ops 2 as well and it worked 100% fine when I played it. So I'm kinda confused. I'm sat now with it on connected to Xbox live and just sitting there with the dashboard up, So I'm guessing the problem starts happening when I connect to the multi-player servers.
I've reset the router change some cables around, still nothing seems to fix it.
I'm hoping this is just a 1 day thing.
Any in put is great ...
Thanks in advance.

If you are getting amber light on bb connection try disabling the internet phone number bt give you and set for use by default. I think it starts with 05******. This is done by entering the router homepage and disconnecting the number, you will then be using your normal tel number line. I had same issue some time ago and did this to solve it. Bt help were useless.
Also how far are you from exchange? Fibre or copper/aluminium? All these factors can affect lag. Time of day is also an issue as during peak times when everybody on net will lower available bandwidth per household.

  • WRT54G Can't play on xbox live and connect wirelessly to router or internet from comp at same time

    Hi guys.
    I have a WRT54G and since I have had it I havent been able to connect wirelessly to see my router or get online form my comp while my xbox 360 is on xbox live. My other computer though, which is wired, can connect online anytime wether the xbox 360 is on line or not. Any help would be nice.

    I have a similar problem to this. I do some online gaming, and while my roommates are playing XBOX live (which is a lot now that halo 3 came out) I cant even connect, and if i do connect i get such a high latency it is unplayable. I would also greatly appreciate any help on this issue.

  • Airport Express as wifi card for Xbox Live, then connect to Extreme network

    My son just got xbox Live and we're trying to use Airport Express as wifi card for xbox (connected to xbox via ethernet). We use Airport Extreme as router for the house.
    We're having trouble setting up Xbox Live, keep getting stuck at getting the xbox to communicate/access the web. Error reads "can't obtain IP address from router... make sure DHCP is enabled and has a large enough address range for all devices on network.. also make sure MAC filtering allows your console's MAC address or is disabled... "
    We dont' know what else to do. I'm at wit's end before giving Gates $100... Anyone know how to get connected?
    Thank you!

    You can also perform a simple test to verify if you have an internet connection at the ethernet port on the AirPort Express.
    Move a laptop near the Express, turn off the wireless on the laptop, and connect to the Express using an ethernet cable. See if you can open your browser and get a good solid internet connection.
    If you can, the Express is setup correctly and you know that you have an internet connection reaching all the way to the Xbox.
    If you can't then there is a configuration error somewhere and it will need to be identified and corrected.

  • Express extending Extreme's Network, Xbox Live not connecting.

    Hey Everyone!
    I have an Airport Express (n version) extending my Airport Extreme's (n version) wifi successfully. My Xbox is connected to my Express via ethernet. My Xbox was able to successfully download a system update, but fails when attempting to update an Xbox Live update. I checked Microsoft's website to make sure Xbox Live was running properly, which it is. My network test on the Xbox tells me that it can connect to the Network, it can connect to the internet, but CANNOT connect to Xbox Live. My ip address does start with 10.0.x.xx, I'm wondering if that is part of the issue? I have never had any issue downloading things on the internet via my laptop. My other idea is that I haven't updated my Xbox in about 6 months, so maybe there's just a large amount of updates and it's receiving a bug of some sort? Can someone help me out here?
    -Nate

    First, have you had an opportunity to try some of the connectivity troubleshooting options provided by Microsoft for Xbox LIVE? For example, either Xbox LIVE Connection Problems or Xbox LIVE Connection Solution (aka Connection Wizard)? If so, what was the exact error(s) that either were reporting?
    Typically, when your console is able to access the Internet, but not to Xbox LIVE, the issue can be one of at least three things: 1) ICMP, 2) NAT, or 3) MTU errors. Were any of these reported when you ran the connectivity tests?

  • Updated instructions for connecting to Xbox Live

    Hi everyone,
    Like many others, I can't seem to get my Xbox Live to connect consistently through the Airport Extreme. There is a ton of lag. I have been working on this for about a week and there have been some great posts related to this issue. However, all of the instructions and Youtube videos I have found aren't using the current OS, so I just can't seem to make it work.
    Can someone write out the detailed instructions for connecting to Xbox Live using Airport Utility 6.1? Or, if there is a post somewhere, I would appreciate it if someone can point me to it.
    Thanks!
    Patrick

    Hi there,
    You might need to forward/open ports on your router first so that your xbox's connection will work very well.
    In this link, Click Here, you can see an example on how to forward ports.
    But in your case, forward/open ports for your xbox's connection.
    Under the Port Range Forwarding page, enter the following:
    > Application=xbox1 Start Port=2869   End Port=2869   Protocol=TCP      IP Address=(IP of the xbox)  Enabled = Checked
    > Application=xbox2 Start Port=10280   End Port=10284   Protocol=UDP      IP Address=(IP of the xbox)  Enabled = Checked
    > Application=xbox3 Start Port=1900   End Port=1900   Protocol=UDP      IP Address=(IP of the xbox)  Enabled = Checked
    > Application=xbox4 Start Port=10243   End Port=10243   Protocol=UDP      IP Address=(IP of the xbox)  Enabled = Checked
     > Application=xbox5 Start Port=88   End Port=88   Protocol=Both
          IP Address=(IP of the xbox)  Enabled = Checked
    > Application=xbox6 Start Port=3074   End Port=3074   Protocol=Both
          IP Address=(IP of the xbox)  Enabled = Checked
    Good luck! 

  • Airport extreme not compatible with xbox live?

    Hello,
    Ive had this problem for a long while now and are getting desperate. Basically when i go on xbox live the connection is really really bad. It's not all the time, rarely it will work fine but most of the time the connection is awful.
    I know the problem isn't because of the location of the xbox since, the connection is strong in my laptop in that room and we have also used a wifi signal analyzer in the room aswell. It's not because of where i live since i have a friend across the road who's xbox connection works fine. We also have an xbox dowstairs much closer to the router which also has the same problem. Im almost convinced its because of the aiport extreme.
    We have an aiport extreme which acts as the router and a netgear which is the modem. The airport extreme has to be in bridge mode or else i get a double nat problem. I think its something to do with the airport extreme and netgear conflicting, if they where i have no idea how to solve it or even if thats the case.
    We tried taking the airport extreme out of bridge mode and then turning nat off on the netgear but then we couldn't connect to the internet at all.
    Please help me, i really need this problem solved. Its really starting to annoy me.
    Thankyou

    Im almost convinced its because of the aiport extreme.
    Unfortunately, the key issue here may be that the AirPort Extreme is not on the Xbox list of "compatible" routers.
    Xbox LIVE Compatible Hardware - Xbox.com
    I know of no way to change that fact.
    We have an aiport extreme which acts as the router and a netgear which is the modem.
    You do not have a Netgear modem, you have a Netgear modem/router or gateway.  That is why the AirPort must be in Bridge Mode. In Bridge Mode, the AirPort is not acting as a router, it simply passes through the network information from the Netgear gateway.
    If you want the AirPort to act as the main router for the network, then the Netgear device must act as a pure, Bridge Mode modem.  Netgear support may be able to tell you if it is possible to configure the device that way.
    But, even if it is possible to configure the Netgear this way and the AirPort as the main router, the fact still remains that the AirPort is not listed as being "compatible" with Xbox, so there are no guarantees that this will help.

  • XBOX ONE. I have the xbox one and the airport time capsule and cant connect to most xbox live games and zero parties. I have 0 experience in all this but somehow was able to change NAT to open but still wont connect. HELLLPPPP

    Okay folks, I need your help out there.
    So the nerdy side of me went and picked up the XBOX ONE on release day. Its awesome by the way, BUT..... I cant seem to connect to most xbox live games and absolutely ZERO parties. At first I just thought it was something to do with the xbox itself and would eventually fix itself, but i was wrong. After looking into it on microsoft, i found out that it had to do with my NAT settings on the airport itself. I guess apple and xbox are not compatiable for xbox live and it makes it difficult to have an open NAT setting and is a huge PAIN.
    I was able to pinpoint one that the airport time capsule was blocking the IPV6 something or another. Anyways, I unblocked that, and reset the modem and time capsule and jumped on the xbox and now have open NAT settings but still cant connect to multi-player.
    Upon further searching, i was told to uncheck the UPNP on my time capsule as well, but have no idea how to find that.
    I know it seems confusing, but thats the best i can describe it.
    tthanks all

    Be a long long time before I see an Xbox One.. but whoever told you to uncheck the upnp in the TC.. tell them their dreamin' .. upnp is not support by Apple in any computer or router, never has been.. Apple deliberately wrote their own version called NAT-PMP to do the same thing.. dynamically open ports at the request of an application or client computer.
    So there is nothing like that to uncheck.. and as a matter of interest.. there no box to check or uncheck for NAT-PMP either.. since apple do not believe in end user adjustment of settings.. they simply do not exist.
    You will have to manually forward all ports required by the Xbox via the TC. For multi-player games you probably need to open more ports than the standard to allow just xbox live. You will need to check the ports required and open them.
    OR
    Buy a standard vista UPNP compatible router.. and use that.. and simply put the TC in bridge in the network.
    I have not seen posts yet about xbox one.. but there are plenty about xbox and ps3 and the fact that Apple really doesn't give a hoot about games consoles.
    This is a good basic post for older xbox.

  • Getting two XBox's to connect to Live on Homehub 2...

    Hi I wonder if anyone can help?
    I have set up the port forwarding for one Xbox and that works fine. The other gets the NAT Strict warning and wont connect to Live. I have even set that one to be in the DMZ but it still wont connect to Live with the other one on. :/
    Can anyone come up with suggestions please? Would it work if I use a different Router????
    Cheers all.

    If you can't beat them, firkhamhall.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Well I created an application for one Xbox, not using the XBox Live application that is in the router and, put the other Xbox into the DMZ and, hey presto! Both boxes will now operate and have open NAT sessions. Result!
    Talking to someone from BT Support and, despite the language barrier, I am sure he said that the new router for Infinity does allow full UPnP and NAT access and alteration so will allow both to work
    Next Wednesday I am due to de-copper Will be sure to let you all know how it goes
    Cheers again for the answers

  • Upgraded to extreme and can no longer connect to xbox live

    My old airport express died so yesterday I bought an airport extreme to replace it. I had no problems setting it up, my powerbook and powermac connect to the internet just fine. My ps3, wii, and apple tv all connect fine. However I lost the ability to connect to xbox live with my xbox360. Running the "Test Xbox Live Connection" test shows that it passes all the tests and is connected to the internet until it reaches the xbox live test where it fails. According to xbox support there are no current outages or problems with my account.
    Since the only thing which has recently changed is the upgrade from airport express to an extreme it seems like that is likely the problem. I thought it might be a NAT or port thing but in the airport setup utility there are no options for changing either NAT or port settings.
    Any ideas anyone? It looks like a year ago when the extreme came out there were problems between it and the xbox, but it also looks like they were resolved. Also they caused the xbox not to be able to connect to the network at all, which mine can do.
    Thanks very much for any ideas or help. Otherwise the extreme is going to have to go back.

    That's a drag.
    I wish I could be more help, but I can not think of what the problem would be. I have mine connected to a network that bridges two AEBS to allow for a large area WIFI. I have no problems with either of the 360's connected. I have no special port forwarding or any settings changed to get the connection.
    I also know that since I just replaced my main base station for an unrelated problem, that it worked out of the box both times.
    I would say try direct connecting it. (the xbox) Not necessarily to correct the problem, but to isolate the AEBS as the problem. I would also try shutting down anything else that may be connecting so you only have a connection with your xbox. Again, none of this will probably solve your issue.... but you can get in contact with customer care or visit a genius bar.
    In my experience if you can give detailed results to test you have already performed to trouble shoot, they are very receptive to replacing your product. Isolating the AEBS and saying you know t will connect direct, and that even when it is the only device connected.... it fails. I would also try both wireless and wired if you have both options.
    I know it is not the optimal answer.... probably a pain.... but sometimes things just work kinda goofy. I know the stuff works and works great when it does... but I have had my share of issues with apple hardware. The good news is they have never failed me when it comes to taking care of it.
    Good Luck !!!

  • How to connect to Xbox Live with the Actiontek GT704-WGB wireless router

    If the title got you here, then you are probably a Verizon DSL customer who is trying to connect your Xbox to Xbox Live with the Actiontek GT704-WGB wireless router and are getting nothing but errors saying, "your NAT is set too high", or, "Your MTU setting is too low", etc.  Well, after many calls to Xbox support, Actiontek support, and Verizon support, I finally came up with the solution myself.
    All that is needed is a little techie know-how about router settings and you'll do just fine!  However, if you are uncomfortable with doing it yourself (and it is really really easy to do!) then you can call Verizon support and have a tech support rep remotely conntect to your PC and make the changes for you: however, you have to speak with someone in advanced tech support and to do that you have to agree to a 1 year support contract to the tune of $14.95 per month in order for them to do it!  Scam???  You be the judge!
    So, here are the steps to take to get it working and by the way, YOU CAN NOT GET THE XBOX TO CONNECT TO THIS ROUTER WIRELESSLY!!  YOU MUST CONNECT YOUR XBOX TO THE ROUTER WITH AN ETHERNET CABLE IN ORDER FOR THIS TO WORK!!!  If you don't heed this warning, you will unfortunatly go through all the steps below, only to find that you get the same errors but, ethernet is faster than wireless so it's better!....right?.....right?   (hears crickets chirping)....right?  Oh well, I tried!  Also, you must have your Xbox on in order to change the router settings (which you'll see why later) Anyway, here's the steps:
    1) On your PC, open a browser window and type in the address bar:  192.168.1.1 and press enter.
    2) You will then see the interface on which you will make changes to the router's settings.  If at any time you are prompted for a username and password (which should happen right after you press enter) the defaults are: username: admin password: password.  If you have changed these, enter what you changed them to.
    3)Click on the icon on the top labelled "Advanced Setup"
    4)In the left section, click "WAN IP Address"
    5)At the warning screen, click "yes"
    6)Scroll down until you see "MTU setting" and enter 1370.  NOTElease don't be tempted to either enter 1500 or leaving it at 1500 (which is the default) because you might know that 1500 is the maximum at which this can be set which is TOO HIGH AND WILL NOT WORK!  Trust me and enter 1370 and then click on "apply"
    7)Click on the top icon labelled "Security"
    8)In the left column, click on "applications".  This is where we are going to open the 3 ports that Xbox Live uses to communicate with your Xbox.
    9)In the drop down box labelled "PC Name" select "Xbox 360". This is why you had to have your console on and connected cuz if you didn't, it would not show up on the drop down list!
    10)Under "category" click on the bubble next to "user"
    11)Click on "New" which is one of the blue buttons near the bottom.
    12)As for the rule name, I entered "Xbox" but you can put whatever you want but I'd use that so you know it's the ports you opened for the console.
    13)For protocol, select TCP. (Yes you will also open the same ports for UDP but for some reason if you select TCP.UDP instead of doing them seperatly it doesn't work.....I dunno why!?
    14)For all 3 "Port start", "Port End", and "Port Map Start" put the # 80.
    15)Click "apply"
    16)Now, select UDP and put the same port # 80 and again click "apply"
    17)Repeat steps 13 through 16 except with the numbers 3074 and 53, clicking apply after each one.  What you should have now on the bottom are a list of all the ports you opened, one TCP and one UDP for each number totalling 6 entries.
    18)Click "back" to return to the Applications screen.
    19)If you have to, select Xbox 360 for PC name, and click the bubble next to "user" and you'll now see the entry called "Xbox" or whatever you called it.
    20)Click that entry to highlight it and then click the blue "add" button to the left and then click "apply" at the bottom.
    21)Close the browser screen and turn off your PC and Xbox and any other hardware connected to the router.
    22)Turn the router off and unplug it and wait about 5 minutes.  It can take this long for any residual current in the router to dissapate and for the NAT table to clear itself.
    23)Turn on the router and wait for the internet light to come on green meaning the router has booted and has an internet connection.
    24)Turn on the Xbox AND ONLY THE XBOX!
    25)There is no need to go into network setting as when the Xbox is connected by ethernet, it automatically configures and connects intself.  You can, however go into network settings and perform a connection test but this to is not necessary.
    You now should be able to connect to Xbox Live!  If not, you've done something wrong and must either go through all the steps again or let Verizon do it for you (for a fee that is).

    I followed jtktlw's instructions to the letter.  Problem was I had already enabled UPnP before doing so.  Afterward I disabled UPnP and rebooted....no change.  I reset the MTU to 1500...boom, it works.  Seems for me all I needed was to open the right ports to get it to work.

  • Xbox 360 wireless adapter wont connect to Airport Express/cant find ip

    i have a time warner modem with the ethernet cable plugged into my airport express to create a wireless network in my house. my macbook and dell connect with no prob.
    the xb recognizes the airport express, shows it as connected with green bars, but when i try to log into xbox online, it says that there is no connection.
    i can plug in the ethernet cable from the xb to the airport ex and there is no problem. only when trying to use the wireless adapter.
    how can i stop this? also, how can i find my IP address?
    since the xb wouldnt connect and find my ip automatically, i tried to do it manually. when i go to terminal on my macbook and enter "ipconfig e0", i dont see an IP address.
    i have seen a lot of info on this but it mainly deals with airport extreme or those who are trying to connect to airport express with an ethernet cable.
    so if you can help me troubleshoot the wireless connection between my xb and my airport ex OR explain how i can find my IP address, i would be very grateful.
    FYI---the airport express was purchased in april, so i believe it is the new "n" model.
    thanks for all your help.

    Gary Sanborn, please share your tricks. I'm curious to know how you got it to work. I used to have the old Express and that worked just fine. The new version (n) doesn't seem to connect to xbox live. As previously stated, mine also shows "connected" and a strong green bar signal on the xbox but the text can't get passed "connected to live"... if I'm not mistaken.
    I heard about holding down the option button white selected the type of wireless connection and connecting to wireless b only. I would want to avoid this option. I don't want my express to run that slow. Please advice. Thanks in advance.
    By the way, I haven't tried it since recently upgrading to OS X 10.5.3. I wasn't sure if that affected airport's connectivity with xbox 360.

  • Having Trouble Connecting To Xbox Live using my router and wireless adapter.

    Okay, so this is kinda long but I'll try and speed through. Recently I moved from my old place to a newer place (larger) and before, my old spot worked perfectly, no troubles. Now, eversince i got my internet cable service re-hooked up I've had problems. My internet is fine, that's not the problem. It's my xbox live for my 360. My cable guy pretty much set up my living room with the main router and not my studio office which I keep my 360 in. Instead he told me it would be much easier to just go out and buy a wireless adapter for my PC to recieve the signal from my living room off the main family computer. Well, went out and bought a $80.00 wireless adapter top of the line and it works perfectly, I get the internet really fast. Problem is, my 360 will not connect now. It always says DNS failed. Well here's the problem. I have a Linksys router in my studio office that sits on top of my PC that i have connected to the ethernet of my PC, then in the 2nd or 1st port i have my 360ethernet wire connected to my xbox360. Still it says DNS failed. Shouldn't my router be getting the signal from my Wireless adapter that it's receiving from the living room? It's connected through the same computer yet it doesnt connect. It finds my I address, and it finds the network adapter yet it always fails my DNS. I've tried evern switching the xbox360 ethernet to the main ethernet port on my pc and that just makes me fail the IP address test. I need help guys. My wireless adapter for the pc is a Belkin but my router is a linksys and not sure if the 360 just doesnt recognize it or not. Is there settings I'm missing or something? Please help!!!
    The Burninator...

    On your 360 if u getting an error msg DNS failed,you can login to your router setup page and go to status tab, not the Static DNS1 and DNS2 numbers and u can give a static dns to your 360. its will resolve ur issue.

  • ANYONE trying to connect to Xbox Live w/ GT704WGB PLEASE READ!!!!

    I have been having issues connecting to xbox live all week. Just got new phone/interent service set up monday(2-22-10) Could not connect to Xbox live, wired or wireless, but had not problem connecting wirelessly w/ laptop. the xbox first said NAT set to moderate and to disable UPnP, after that was fixed it said MTU insufficient and had to be set to 1364 or higher(let me save you the trouble of looking its already set to 1492 by default)  
    Contacted Verizon about this issue several times, along w/ intermittent calls to xbox tech support and even actiontec, until verizon finally got me to buy the premium tech support. Take my advice SAVE your money!!!! They did not fix my problem whatsoever. Actiontec finally told me that it was my equipment, so I contacted Verizon and after fighting w/ TS agents then finally after 2 hrs got what I wanted by talking to supervisor and she had them send me a new gateway. but after I got the new gateway, I set it up and had the same issue (so I guess it was not the equipment afterall).
    I did everystep the tech support people had done in the days past and still no connection. If you have had this trouble as well, let me save you the headache of hours on the phone w/ tech support people who are dumber than dirt(i spent a total of over 10hrs in 3 days on phone w/ various TS agents).
    If your actiontec gateway has been messed w/ in anyform or fashion, and connects wireless (or wired) just fine to other devices(PC Wii etc) w/o any modification to gateway, try this:
     RESET the gateway to factory settings(press the little red button on the back of the gateway w/ a pen or small object.
     after all the lights have come back on, go to the gateway site to modify it (enter 192.168.1.1    then hit enter) username is admin and password is password, by default.
    Go to Security, click on DMZ Hosting, click" on" and make sure it is for Xbox 360 not for your PC under DMZ Host PC Name
    Run a "Test live connection"? on xbox360 and it should connect to Xbox Live

    So glad to hear that I could help. No one should have to deal with all the stress and frustration that I had to endure just to get their xbox to connect. Its so incredibly frustrating to find out at the end that It is such an easy fix.

    How do I get Xbox live to work with my Apple computers and Base Station 72a539?

  • Router Wont connect my Xbox 360

    Hey, I have a Cisco E2000 and I have multiple devises that work but not my xbox 360.
    I have
    2 computers
    2 iphone 4s 
    2 ipods
    iphone 3gs
    They all connect to the internet fine. My Xbox 360 never connected.
    the xbox can connect to the router. Then the router cannot connect to the internet.
    Please help me!

    You mentioned that the xbox can connect to the router. Is it connected wirelessly to the network or wired to the router? What excatly do you mean it won't connect? You are unable to connect to the network or to the internet? Is your concern with NAT? If it is already connected to the network then there is no problem with the router (as what you have posted other devices are working, it shows that router is working fine). You might need to forward ports in order for you to use or connect to xbox live. And if it still won't work with the router, connect your xbox directly to the modem and test your connection. If still not working, contact your service provider. But try the ports first.
    You may check the link below:
    Error: Your NAT type is set to strict (or moderate)
