you need to open the ports on your router for xbox ports are TCP 88 UDP 88 UDP 3074 TCP 3074 UDP 53 TCP 53
first connect the xbox to the network and get the ip address (like 192.168.x.x) and then use the computer and login to router setup page and under firewall open these ports for the ip address of xbox . If you find a DMZ there , then enable it for XBOX ip address and reboot the router. ** imp: try to make a static ip address on xbox so when you restart the xbox teh ip address should not change -
to check what is the ip address provided from you router :- go command prompt (start ->run- > type cmd and hit enter) a black screen(command) type ipconfig you will find ip address of computer , so you can set the ip address of xbox like that -but just make the last number different (like ip address on computer 192.168.2.5 then make ip address of xbox to 192.168.2.6) perform this will help .. its all about the ports but be sure with ip address

the IP address will fail when it is set on manual, rather than automatic. Be sure, once you enter it, it is set to automatic

i had to change my ip address and so forth from manual to automatic because all the xbox needed to do was find everything by itself so that it could actually connect to my wireless network.

You have to make sure that your xbox knows your ip address and if your using wireless, your wep key. Your wep key should be on the back of your wireless router and you can make your xbox recieve your ip address automatically by editing the settings. you can edit settings by testing your connection. If your xbox does does not have your ip address, next to ip address it will say failed and next to that it says edit settings.

do u have the internet if so connect the ithernet cable to the modem and try again

I think you need to ring your internet provider and they will enable xbox live from their side. Its fairly simple and they will know what your talking about.

Your wep adress? You mean your IP adress? Go to http://whatismyip.com/ and that number is your IP adress. Enter that manually, and your XBox should be connected.
