IP address - cannot get address, no internet connection

Tried that.....Xbox can't connect to internet after manually changing the IP. Error reading "Cannot Get an IP Address"

Sorry NGO that is not correct. MS does not have the means to get an home address from an IP address. This is why he will have to go to the cable company/internet provider and thus need another warrant. The cable company is who issues the IP address and will
be able to track it. MS does not have any way to get this information simply from an IP address. Xbox has no way of finding this information simply from an Xbox connecting to the internet. Xbox does not issue IP addresses the (Internet provider) DOES and this
is who will be able to provide a home address.

So your PC cannot connect to the Internet when connected to the router after you've bridged the modem? Is your PC set to "Obtain an ip address automatically" ?

Maybe they're wrong or maybe a hacker successfully connected to your network and made a network attack using your IP address (or your Xbox IP address).

Since Xbox connects to your network and have an IP address, the hacker could have used the Xbox IP address to make the attack. If someone hacks to your internet connection and uses your IP address, it doesn't matter if it is a console or electronic device IP address, it can be used to do anything on the internet and it will be thought that the console or eletronic device that did it.

So I really recommend you to install a good Internet Security software with Anti-Hacker and Firewall on it.

it's easy to find your ip

You do realize your ip is public to anyone who connects to you as it's the nature of the Internet

In order to connect to the Internet you need an ip address this is public to anyone who connects to you

You cannot be invisible without being not being on the internet

That being said report the msg that is all you are allowed to do
