Secondary DNS number for Xbox Live connection

I'm trying to connect my sons Xbox 360 to Xbox Live. We bought a wireless network adapter that connects to the router wireless without any problem. We cannot get a good internet connection.

We tried to follow the directions using the manual DNS settings which seems straight forward. That is to say. Click Start, type cmd, press ENTER. Then at the prompt, type "iconfig/all '."

There is only a single DNS server number listed, but we need someone else to get a connection. Can do us on the PC?

HiDanG99,

I suggest that you contact Xbox support for more information.

    Hi GreekGuitarGuy,

    The best way to use your laptop WiFi to connect your Xbox to the internet is using connection sharing Internet (ICS). The following link gives step by step instructions how to set up your laptop and Xbox 360 with ICS:

  • Prioritization of bandwidth for Xbox Live

    Is there a way to put xbox live traffic priority bandwidth on streaming of web services such as youtube and spotify?

    When these services are used xbox live games on the internet become unbearable to play as you would expect... (The ping goes through the roof).

    Now another to be a general problem with bandwidth available to the general public, I was hoping that there may be another solution on the router that could help?

    Details:

    Connection speed: 6.5Mbs (higher downstream) 448 Kbs (highest upstream)

    Router: Lynksys WAG200G

    Firmware: 1.01.06

    Connect the Xbox to the router: Wired

    PC: XP SP3

    Your advice would be appreciated.

    WAG has some limitations. I think you have to go by Port number, instead using MAC address that you don't have the option of using the MAC address.

  • XBOX Live connection problem

    I got an XBOX 360 for Christmas and the Wireless N adapter bought the other day.  I ran through the installer, and it connects to my network fine, but not connect to XBOX live.  I have currently a router WRT110 with the firmware.05.  The router was purchased in April of this year and have had no problem connecting at all.  The XBOX comes when I look at my network from any of the computers.  I have a lot of devices on the wireless.  There are two laptops, Nintendo WII, Lexmark X 6650 all-in-one and three IPod Touch (Gen 3).  Laptops are the only ones who are connected all the time.  I discovered something last night that I don't know what to do with him.  I gave the XBOX a static ip address and still have the same problems.  I ran across the logging option and allowed him, then made a full power cycle of my network.  I tried to log in again and got the same error.  However, I looked at newspapers and newspaper DHCP watch everything get an IP address, but there is no entries listed for the XBOX.  I deleted the logs and tried again as always connected while on the router and looked straight after that the test failed and there is still no entries.  So, with all that said... what to do now?

    I forgot to mention that my network is secured using WPA2-Personal and ASIS (not sure of the spelling but is not one that lists also TKIP... lol)

    I stopped everything on my network that had wireless and did a reset of the router.  I couldn't still my Xbox to connect.  I changed the router Wireless N only and the * beep * connected fine thing!  My only problem now is to find my older G wireless router, so I can have everything back up.  I hope this helps others.

  • I have charges on my account for Xbox live, but not to allow payments and have not used for a year!

    I try to get in touch with a representative of the Xbox, but have not been able to find someone who can tell what to do about this.

    I would like a refund for a year of subscription Xbox Live that I never asked (they have my movies and Music Apps account details). I got a free month of Xbox Live that I tried and then disconnected my Xbox on the internet.

    But they kept charging me, which I've learned only recently because I had debit cards and they overloaded my account!

    How can I get in touch with Xbox billing people?
    What can I do to try to get this cleared up?

  • Xbox live connection

    I use a usb modem and internet connection sharing and my xbox cannot connect to Internet when I test it. What should I do?

    The stability of your connection depends on how you are connected to the internet. If you say that you use a broadband wireless then it can really fail. A one of the conditions to be connected to xbox live is to have an internet connection broadband. Even if you use the broadband connection will always fail. You may be able to connect in some cases, but the stability of the connection is not guaranteed.

    I'm you advise to check the link below. It also has a list of compatible Internet service provider.

  • WIN8 app Pinball Fx 2 falls down after Xbox Live connection on PC

    We have two PCs at home; at a time with Windows 8 pro.

    We downloaded Pinball Fx 2 of the store. It installed fine.

    It is necessary that you connect to a profile from Xbox Live to play.

    On the same machine, everything works fine. : open a successful logon and play games without a problem.

    On the other PC, the game auto-signes in the Xbox Live profile; and just as it says it is signed, the whole game crashes to the desktop.

    No idea what to do to make it work on this x 64 PC with Win Pro 8.

    Someone has this specific problem with this game or other type of Xbox Live game?

    Suggestions?
    Thank you.

    I had this same problem recently too. Couldn't find an answer on the Internet, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Pinball FX2. This solves the problem! And I lost one of my best scores. I hope this helps you too.
