DNS problem

[Matt.]

Hi,

I'm trying to connect to xbox live but the dns bit keeps failing. I'm not sure what I can do to fix this. I have my xbox 360 connect to my computer. Please can someone help? I will +Rep .

ill try find you the guide I used to sort mine out now, I had to do a wireless bridge then set my norton security as off so the xbox could connect. Then go into the Run command and enable the wireless connection, or something like that anyway.

EDIT: Heres the video that was kinda the same as mine, it does the same excpet doesnt tell you to put your firewall off if you have to http://youtube.com/watch?v=VPR--MNoFbE

EDIT: in the video I think it tells you to type something like "netsh bridge set adapter 1" if that doesnt work try typing in "netsh bridge set adapter 1 enable"

You cant becuase you dont have wireless on your computer, them videos are for people who want to connect their laptop to their xbox to share the wireless connection on the laptop.

Dunno what you have to do, do you have a router?

Nope, I have sent off from the BT home hub. I think I should be able to connect to xbox live then

[awelsh]

yeah, dont think you can connect without one. If you can then I never found out how as I used to have the same problem. If you want to connect wirelessly to the home hub you need to buy the xbox wireless adapter too, which sets you back about £60, or use your phone skills on the xbox support staff and make them belive you need a replacement one but really you have never bought one atall

Disconnect your router for 2-3 mins then reconnect if it still don't work your router has probs packed in
