hi there i hate opening help topics on the video games subject because most my problems are simple to fix and i end up making an arse of myself, anyway.......


my 360 decided it can't find the internet again, my modem works fine, i'd not be talking here if it wasn't, its weird though i've got two Ethernet cables and tried both of them on the 360 and it wont connect, people been asking why i've not been on well this is the reason including the fact i havn't got more live months left.

i've tried the reconnection trick in several different ways, it refuses to connect up, it can't get past the network bar so its not xbox live thats doing it.

weird tho because my wii is having the same troubles aswell, its not just the xbox but it always starts with the xbox, it does and has worked before perfectly, just i want to know if theres anyway to find out why this is screwing up instead of what i can do about it, if i knew the problem i'd be able to fix it myself, some kind of mad status report on my modem would be handy to see what exatcly the ports are doing.


thank you and sorry for opening another help topic !

noone had this problem before ?

Sorry, I have no idea! Try searching on YouTube for some videos, I had a few problems to begin with but i found some great stuff on there eventually that got it all working.

My xbox red ringed again....

You got the latest firmware on your router colin?

emmm ?


i dont think so man, i remember some bitch from virgin media sending up this guy at half 7 in the morning, he told me since a usb stick was conflicting with something it wouldn't work, well its weird cuz i'm running the pc off the ethernet and not the usb anymore, fucking useless service.

i got some live, if u see me online be sure to send a message

Sounds like a Router issue to me. Will Virgin allow you to use your own?

What type of router do you use Colin?

yeah i think it is a router problem because i got a ps3 and its exatcly the same.


its a Moterola SB5101E Surfboard Cable Modem
