How do i connect my xbox 360 to the internet (IP issues)

Asked by dissizit (2

hey, i have a ethernet cable running from my xbox to the modem, but when i run ‘test xbox live’ it says my ip has failed…
am i supposed to manually enter my ip?
if so, how do i get that?
because when i type in my IP address into the address bar on mozilla, and it comes up with details.. my xbox isnt connect? so..it doenst have its own ip?
but when the xbox test the connection it says its wired? so i assume its picking it up, and the light on the modem says the cable has been plugged into that particular port…

i tried the MAC thing but that didnt work either :S any ideas???

First did u restart the modem(unplug then re-plug)?? and i figured out why it does that once but i forgot sorry all i remember is when it goes through my router its all fine. sounds like your don’t have one tho so i would suggest buying a cheap one.
