Why couldn't I "Connect to Xbox LIVE"?

I never experienced any problems of any significance and for any extended duration specific to accessing Xbox Live until approximately the same time this issue apparently arose with the overall userbase last month.

Lawyerspeak-y enough for ya?
 
Yikes. I'm downloading some demos right now. I've got an internet connection that's over 1MB/s-crazy fast. But I've been downloading a 50MB game now for TWO HOURS now. I can't imagine if I were trying to play online.
 
[quote name='jimfoley16']I don't know much about this stuff so what would you recommend I do?[/QUOTE]

Do you have a computer that uses the same ethernet port you're using with your console? Copy the MAC address of that computer down onto a piece of paper. Then go into the XBL network settings, and then I think it's like "more" or "custom" or something - change the MAC address to a custom one and copy down the one from your piece of paper. This may solve your problems, but it's not the best of workarounds and could potentially get you in trouble with your resnet office. Your best bet is to call them but this could be a quick fix.
 
i didnt post it in here, because i dunno, this is a totally new problem for me, and i have had difficulties that were similar to others in the past


what happens is that i try to play an online version of the game it told me to sign in. I try to sign in. It says I am not connected to live. I do the test. It works. Then I try all those steps again. The 2nd test says my ICMP has failed. Turn off the 360 start it back up it says everything is fine. Still can't play online. 4th test says ICMP has failed. Call MSOFT support. Do a bunch of crap unplug everything router and 360. Try again says XBL not working. Then I try a 6th time says everything working. 7th test says ICMP has failed. Also i try to play some of XBLA games while on hold, some of my bought games are in demo version around half actually. Finally talk to a supervisor. We do everything the first guy did. After being on the phone an hour. I am told i should try to update my firmware on the router, which i looked online hasnt had an update since 06. This is wirless, and real far from the router, but he suggests trying just plugging it in. Finally the last option he says is Fios isnt officially compatible with XBL you can try switching ISPs. Thats it. Thats all they leave me with.


And all the other machines that use the net work fine even the wireless ones.

i am going to try again tomorrow, and give Fios a call.
 
yeah.... Live is down for me as well. I haven't seen many people say anything so I huess I'm just unlucky. It started yesterday and it's still unable to connect as of today. I wanted to dl Rez.
