I feel like im all alone. I bought a new xbox 360 in June but I dont know how to connect to xbox live.

I know there are guys connected to Live already so can you guys show me? I live in Malaysia so I already know xbox live is not "official" here. But guys got around that problem somehow. So just show me and it would be greatly appreciated.

And if i do get connected Call of Duty 2 is a game i would like tho challenge everyone in.

Oh BTW I already have a streamyx account meaning I got broadband. Im also new here at the forum but I have been gaming as long as I can remember.

Just go register for a new Live account under either Singapore or US, when registering remember to find a valid Zip code for the country you choose to. And then either pay with ur credit card, or the prepaid cards.

I cant even connect to the service. When I try it always stops at a DNS server or something. Everything including the modem says it connected but that DNS setting always gets stopped. What am I doing wrong. The address setting I can worry later but I cant even connect to Xbox Live without getting halted.

Please Help

u sure ur DNS no. is correct?

hmmm. either ur router isn't giving out dns properly, or you didn't setup ur network settings properly.

or u forgot to turn on ur router or u forgot to pay tmnet bills? heheheh kidding

Gomen (sorry) anyway check back ur router and ur DNS setting..

I used to have a similar problem, but resolved it by entering the DNS addresses manually

I used to have the same problem. Then i found out that ur supposed to leave the PPPoE setting or something empty. U know, that screen where u type in ur TMnet username and password. I cleared them both out and terus can play. Good luck dude.

Hi Hitman, I have the same problem like yours..but I try to guide you through. If you are using the standard modem that come with your streamyx package, its simple...first you need to go to Advance setup and write your streamyx id...ie "xxxx@ streamyx.com" and fill in your password...and thats it..try connecting again..I am sure it will work...I hope..That's what happend to me...I tried for hours but finally figured it out..I did not put the id correctly.

Alright before i set about this quest...Do I connect the ethernet cable to the modem itself or do I connect elsewhere? Cause this is what i done on all my attempts(takut I get it wrong).

btw
darknesszone each time i go to advance settings i really do not know what to look for so how do I go about it?

Dear valued forumer,

Please follow these steps in resolving your issue.

1. Your modem, does it auto connects to the internet. Means you dont need to click anything to go onto the net from your PC (user id n password is stored in ur modem). If YES, goto 3. NO goto 2.

2. Since your modem is not connecting directly to the Net, then in the X360 network page you need to key in the DNS. User id will be userid@streamyx.com.

3. When you modem dials automatically to the net, you only need to point your X360 to the modem. Do this by typing any IP address within ur modem's DHCP range. For this you must know the modem's IP address (192.168.1.1someting like that) and its userid and password (this is diffrent from your streamyx password).

It always helps a lot if you can do some screen captures or in this case snap some pics of the X360 network settings, so that we could assist your further.

If you do have any further enquiries regarding the X360, please do not hesitate to post it up here.

Unofficial LYN X360 Tech Support

for further enquiries u can pm our CSR...Shumaky..hehehe joking..

if still having problem try entering the DNS addresses manually, ive come across several cases like this, DNS fail.

dns1 202.188.0.133
dns2 202.188.1.5

Thanks guys for the help. I really appreciate it. I'll go on Live soon. Its worked already but I already ordered xbox live from play asia(3 months). So once agin thanks alot guys...

err.. what was the problem? careto share with us?

sweet...belanja makan orait..

Just some info here. If you really want to pursue Xbox Live Gold, then a one year membership is your first choice because it is cheaper compared to 3 month-ers. A one year membership is around RM 200 - 12 months of Xbox Live Gold. Now to get 12 months using 3 month-ers, you need to buy 4 of them. One 3 Month is about RM 85. Times that by 4 and you get RM 340, which is RM 140 more expensive than a yearly subscription. If you add in RM 60 to that you get 2 years of Xbox Live Gold

Ultimately it's up to you though

True..true..long term investment..

The thing is I can only find 3 months subscription on the net I would buy the 1 year subscription but cannot find anywhere on the net..

Can't use your CC?
