alternate selection code

Try this, http://live.com and login. If you get the prompt to enter a code you should select I dont use these anymore. The systen should allow you to enter a phone number or alternate email to receive the code.
After that click on your name in the upper right corner and select account settings. Then in the middle of the page select account alias and create an alias for your account. Which is an alternate email address. Then click on notifications and click manage
email preferences. And you can select the new email to receive notifications on

Hi Bi9,

Thanks, for coming to the forums.

Alternate multiplayer port
selection: Under Network settings, Advanced settings there's a new button labeled
Alternate port
selection. For home networks where UPnP is problematic or unavailable and where multiple
Xbox consoles are present, customers can now
select an alternate port for multiplayer and chat to use.

Basically in short, if you have multiple Xbox consoles, you can select a different port to each console. This is used if port forwarding is not.

Thanks,

Brad

You may have to get more basic.

So this alternate port is there to make sure my 3 xb1's do not interfere with each other during multiplayer?

So multiplayer and chat are the only parts using this port?

I do not understand.

Hi, can you provide an error code if there is one? And I recommend doing this process,

Press the Guide button on your controller, and navigate to System > Settings > Network > Network settings.

1. Select Advanced settings.

2. Select the Alternate MAC address.

3. Select Clear.

4. Select Restart.

Not sure why you can't select your alternate email for the code to be sent to as that should be given as an option when trying to sort it out. Anyway, this page may be useful (I say may as you probably already tried everything here) but also gives a link for account recovery which is like a last ditch effort type thing:
