I just got my xbox 360 today and tried to use direct modem connection for live service. however, this plan didn't work out as i hope. These are the steps i did:

1) Ethernet cable (from 360) connecting to my Aztech DSL 350E (4-year-old DSL modem)
2) Set an auto-connection....normal constant lights for PC. but the DSL starts blinking once plugged into my 360....

Tell me direct modem connection isn't the appropriate way to connect to live service or was i left out something?

If so, i think i should opt for router connection. Is it any wired routers will work for 360?

u must alter some settings on 360. try asking others, coz im not that familiar with the settings.
for wired routers, try check its compatibility with the 360.

Well then, can someone help with direct modem connection (most preferably) otherwise i have to buy a router for connection purpose?

You still have to set those IP, Mask, Gateway and so on, no short cut

305E Gateway i think 192.168.1.1

if thats the case, set ur xbox ip:192.168.1.11, gateway:192.168.1.1, subnet mask:255.255.255.0, dns1:202.188.0.133, dns2:202.188.1.5
what else did i miss?

Alright, i'll try this later. I'll post again whether succeed or failed...hopefully a good news.

Thanks for all of your kind replies!

gimme kfc zinger's mwahaha jk

that's odd. This time i could get online! Anyhoo, i've entered the necessary setting. Btw, the model's gateway is 10.0.0.2...pretty old setting.

KFC zinger? sure! once we have the chance to meet!

Oh, Happy Chinese New Year to you guys! cheers!

modem -> wifi router -> LAN connection to 360
at 360 side i just use auto configuration (get conf settings from router)
at router side, set a static ip for 360 and also do a portforward. thats it

not router la... router you put automatic only easy...
but now direct connection...
i think tonite also i can't get online....

thanks..
i'll go to eat my reunion dinner soon... hope that tomolo morning won be a boring one...

your gateway is 10.0.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 or others?
if its 10.0.0.1, set ur xbox ip to something like 10.0.0.10
coz i've checked, theres only lan settings, dns settings, pppoe settings, and (another one i forgot).

er... gate way for wat??? i mean the 10.0.0.1???
i type wat ever you gave me lo...


BTW... HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR....

my IP error la... how come... jus after i set my username n password...
damn frust la... thought come back here can go live...

maybe CNY festive so i can't connect to xbl

haha maybe lo...
but you can play at ur bro's home wat...

no fun laaa
since using my bro profile..
nati orang ingat my bro "power"
wakakakakakaka

Hmm... weird then...y cannot connect by urs...
ur gold membership expired???

if my membership expired also
i'm still can connect to live
but it never connect to live
then how am i gonna renew my gold live account..

sry i was out last nite. just came back hehehehehe
gateway = the ip set for ur modem/router. if ur modem is set to 192.168.1.1 then gateway = 192.168.1.1
one way to check is... go to ur computer n do this:
Start > Run... > type in "cmd" without the quotes, then press enter > type "ipconfig" then press enter. then u can see the ip for the "Default Gateway"

so gateway setting is the same as IP is it??
gonaa try after this

every box/comp got its own ip. but that ip not necessarily equal to ur gateway. gateway ip is different, unless ur using ICS.

i know now why i cannot login to xbl
some stupid worker from streamyx not send this month bill to my house
so my streamyx kena potong already


but nvm then
i can used anyone login id since my frenz work at TM net..
after wednesday then i can used my own login id...

Huh, dont you event know you SCREAMYX is cut?

BTW, you can login others account by using the same phone line? Plus its suspended? Sigh...

how i supposed to know that my streamyx is cut
i thoght it not yet 1 month bcoz the bill didn't arrive at my home?

so i call my frenz..
he gave my other id and pas...
tested oke can on XBL and internet
so i supposed my streamyx has been cut

^ omfg WTF?!?!11?!! if ur fren got 8mbps account, tell me, coz my dslam settings got uncapped, but got capped server side.

but that doesnt explain michael's problem connecting to XBL. michael, u can connect to the internet using ur pc rite?

i've managed to log into live service with no fuss at all in these 2 days. Hopefully, no problems will occur again in the future.

For direct modem connection (specifically for cheapskates like me), here's how i did:

1) Set auto-connection in your modem setup. It can be accessed by typing the default gateway of the modem e.g. 10.0.0.2 (old modem) or 192.168.1.1 (new modem).
2) Start the xbox 360.
3) Connect the modem to the xbox 360 directly (hence the name direct modem connection) and then switch on the modem. It should be connecting by itself now.
4) At network setting of xbox 360, i didn't change the IP or subnet mask because the xbox 360 will set it for you. But, DNS servers should be inserted manually. Every streamyx user will surely know the magical numbers ---> 202.188.0.133 (primary) and 202.188.1.5 (sec).
5) If this method fails, try to bypass the DSL filter by connecting the DSL line directly to the wall socket.
6) If all these fail, call TMnet for tech support or visit this page again. ..why i got the hunch that i may come back again....

^^this humble user send me a msg with humble requestion to be my frenz

my membership is only 3-day-old so i need to extend my friend list in live service...

super f**king sh*t
just now i called Tm services center to asking my account no
coz i want to pay my payment..

but the ladies said that my bill will be sent to me by end of this month..
and my account still ACTIVE AND STILL ONLINE FOR 2 DAYS!!

means there is 3rd person who used my account id and pass
the technical person said..i cannot login to my id since that person still used it..

he will closed 3rd person port who used my id..
i've changed my password and now i can login using my original id

my 20cents
2 reasons...sometime when u connected to internet then u log out (off pc)...that line still connected..so next time when u wanna login...u cant...2nd someone using ur line....actually that customer service can delete that session and ask u to login again...

Sh*ts like that happened to me too...there was a time (end of last year especially) i had multiple sweet & pleasant conversations with the female operators for weeks, thanks to "idling" connection that disabled me to connect to the internet. I was amazed myself for how i repressed my rage toward TMnet...

guys,

I need ur help la...any of u know how to fix problem with MTU?? I tried to login to XBL just now but i cant connect n when i tested the connection it says "MTU failed" after passing the IP and DNS....i tried it repeatedly n still the same thing...nway i'm using direct connection.

what exactly is MTU?? this is the first time i hv problem logging in to XBL since i got my 360 last Sept...can i fix this MTU thingy myself or should i call TM?? sorry cos i'm very blur la with all these...i just know how to connect only...

all i think malaysian player cannot login to xbl today from
1700-2100 since microsoft do some maintenence..

According to Live FAQ, Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is a setting on your router or gateway that can affect network performance; the MTU diagnostic test will tell you if your router or gateway's MTU is too small.

Xbox Live requires a minimum MTU setting of 1364, so your router or gateway's MTU must be greater than or equal to 1365. If it's less than 1365 you won't be able to connect to Xbox Live.

What this means that you need to go your modem's admin mode to alter the MTu setting. As usual, the gateway is either 10.0.0.2 (again..old modem) or 192.168.1.1. Check your WAN's PPP configuration, there should be a MTU box that allows you to insert your preferable setting (as long it's more than 1365).

Wish this could help!

better set it to default mtu. forgot wat it was, maybe 1492? im not sure. try ask around

Congrats ! however, there are times that auto-connection might fail you (at least to me like yesterday). You can try to set a manual PPPoE setting via nextwork setting at ur xbox 360 dashboard. Here's how i do:

1) Reset your modem.
2) Connect 360 to the modem.
3) Fire up your 360 and modem. At network setting>manual>, choose PPPoE setting. That's where you type in your broadband account name e.g. xxxxxxx@streamyx (sorry...no maxis broadband at my area) and also your password.
4) This step allows your xbox 360 to connect to the internet just like the way your PC connect to the internet via dialers such as winpoet or winXP's manual dialer.
