2Wire: My xbox won't connect to any game servers

Sorry for the late reply!

[quote user="Cartoonite"]I finally got a working network cable running up through the walls into the room and connected the 360 directly to the 2wire modem.[/quote]Did you actually have your Xbox 360 directly connected to the 2wire gateway, or did you have
any networking device connected in between this path?

It would be great if you are able to find out the model number of your 2wire gateway.

Could you try, once more, to directly connect your Xbox 360 with an Eternet Cable to the 2wire gateway, but this time, make sure you disconnect your second Xbox 360, along with the Xbox One, from your network.

Disable UPnP and reboot your 2wire gateway.

Enable UPnP and reboot your 2wire gateway.

This procedure will refresh the map table.

If it's possible, are you able to try and connect your console on a different network (friends house), to verify if this is exclusively tied to your network, or not.

Keep us posted!

Well, I was going through my recent players, and my Xbox just froze, I turned it off and then back on, it tooke a while to sighn in, it said it couldn't connect, I tried unplugging the router and plugging it back in, reconnecting to my 2wire, ext. so basically,
for some reason, it can't connect to the 2wire that I have, but it's only my Xbox that can't connect.

I am 100% sure. I have never had a 2Wire modem connect to xbox live. I know some things that are not on that list work fine. 2Wires in my experience do not work.

I think I may have confused you with my suggestion, by connecting the failing Xbox directly to the router. In this equation, I'm not referring to your Linksys E1200, but instead the 2wire gateway.

You mentioned that you already have one of your Xbox 360's connected directly to the router/modem (2wire). I would like you to try with the exact same setup as your working Xbox 360, but with the failing 360 machine connected directly to your 2wire gateway,
without the Linksys E1200 in transit, or any other networking device for that matter. With the exception for the failing Xbox 360 and your 2wire gateway.

Topology:

2wire (gateway) ------ Ethernet -------
Xbox 360 (the failing console).

Before you go ahead, go to Xbox System Settings and select
Network settings. Select connection type and Configure Network. On the
Additional settings tab select Restore network settings to factory settings.

Turn off your Xbox.

Turn off your 2wire gateway and let it sit for a couple of minutes.

Turn on the 2wire and wait one minute for it to connect properly and wire your failing Xbox 360 the exact same way as your working Xbox 360.

Now on your console, head back to Network Settings and select
Test Xbox Live Connection.

Post back and let us know how that goes and we'll go from there.

Thanks!

but i want to replace my 2wire, and the dlink router just connects it with the 2wire.

and i don't know how to set that up completely
