nb88 Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Just got me new xbox and i wanna hook it up to xbox live. I've got a code and all that, went on the menu, new account, and i get a connection error and it says i need a DNS server provided by my ISP and im on ntl. I'm using a crossover cable from my pc to my xbox, and my pc connects to the inernet through a wireless router which is downstairs. Can anyone give me some help? Cheers. Noz.

zoojames Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Go into your network properties and makesure your internet is being shared so that your cross over can pick it up! You have to use a cross over cable! Go on xbox lives site, it should have the answers on there! James :turned: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might also need to set up a network bridge on your computer, and details on how are on the xbox live website. My gamertag is nanderine if you wanna add me for halo 2!

RicH_87 Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 (edited) just buy a massive cable and plug it into the router. i have a 20ft cable running from my room (the router/modem) to the stand alone pc downstairs). only cost me £3 (Y) Edited July 25, 2005 by RicH_87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do it quick, cos i want someone to play halo 2 with! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nb88 Posted July 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Good idea i might do that actually (Y) ill just whack it under the carpet. Cheers. and andyroo i should hopefully be on tomorrow :D with my 2 month trial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
