xbox live help

[LittleDude101]

Hey,

got xbox live today, but i cant get it to connect

it says it cant get the IP address, and when I go to repair it on the comp, nothing happens

Any ideas?

[Robbo]

on the xbox dash go to the furthest right screen and click on network settings.

somewhere there you will be able to select automatic ip selection or something. try that

if its already at automatic try setting it to your computer or routers ip

hope that helps

its quite hard to do...is it connected through our computer or a router??

if its through your pc then youve got to enable your internet connection to be shared

its already auto, and has an IP address on there, but wont connect to the laptop. Ive got an Ethernet cable connecting the 360 to the laptop a 'good' internet connection
