Xbox Live IP Faild

Im really sick of people on Yahoo anwsers and other sites I visit asking "I tried to hook up Xbox live and it keeps saying my IP faild".

Well I made this to shut you guys up so I don't have to hear this and hopefully some of you will learn it or pass it on.

Xbox 360:
1) Turn on Xbox 360
2) Scroll over to "System"
3) Scroll down to "Network Settings"
4) Scroll down to "Edit Settings"
5)Then Click on all the boxes and Set them to "Automatic"

Computer:
*Note This is for Vista and This may be different or other softwares*

1) Hit "Start"
2) Hit "Control Panel"
3) Look under "Network and Internet" and hit "veiw network status and and tasks"
4) Look over to the side under tasks and hit "Manage Network Conections"
5) Then look for something that says "Local Area Conection 2" and right click it and hit "Properties"
6) Then click on the "Sharing Tab"
7) Tick the first box and untick the second tick box
*Note the when you tick the first box make sure you put it on "Local Area Connection"*

Manually:

1) Then unplug your ethernet cord from your modem
2) Plug the ethernet cord into your Xbox 360 to your modem
3) Unplug the power cord to the modem for 15-20 sec. then plug it in again
4) Test your connection and it should work!

 

Thanks for this :D (even though I don't need it)
Quick question; When I get my xbox back from the repair centre, am I gonna have to go through the connection setup again? <.<

 

just keep your xbox set to automatic, but if they cleared all your files just recover your gamer tag and it should have all your save file on it.

 

Thanks again :D
Your saves are put on the hard-drive/memory card, it's not saved to your gamertag (achievements are tho)

 

oh sorry i meant achievements...oops!
