Moved into a new flat share and can't get xbox live!

I have a wired connection (xbox to laptop) and always have. I just moved into a uni flat share, and now I can't get on xbox live at all.

The message which comes up says the xbox can't get an IP address. My laptop connected fine when I entered the password for the router, so I don't understand why I can't get on xbox live through the wired connection.

Please Help, I don't want a multiplayer-free 2 years....

Cannot Share Xbox Live For Some Reason

I just got a new xbox for my brother and want to share my games and Xbox live so I set the new xbox as the home Xbox for my xbox live account and then logged into his already existing account on the xbox n it didn’t share gold just the games. Then I tried
creating a new account and it still wouldn’t work. (I put both of them into my “family”)

 

Zyxel FR1000Z is killing me!

I moved into a new house and Qwest set me up with the Zyxel FR1000Z router. I can't connect to XBox Live and I have tried every troubleshooting tip, including port forwarding. Nothing is working and i'm running out of patience with this. Until this is
fixed I can't get my xbox update and can't get my Kinect to work and I can't stop getting my butt chewed out by my wife and angry children who want to play with their Christmas presents. Someone please help me!
