To enter a static IP address press the menu button and select settings then go to Network – Advanced Settings – IP Settings – Manual. Then you need to enter the IP address, Subnet mask and Gateway.

A solution for this issue may be to override your router's DHCP settings to provide permanent IP addresses to either console. You will need to identify the MAC address for each individual console, and manually assign the IP address that way. Once this
is done, you will then need to set your console to manual IP configuration, and input the IP address you assigned each console.

What you can do is set manual ip on the console.

go to

1)settings>network>advanced settings - write down the IP, gateway, subnet mask

IP settings>manual - type in the addresses that you wrote down in step 1 - should stop console from requesting the IP all the

-------------------------------------------------------------

TIP: Lets say the IP address that you have currently is 192.168.0.15 when you set manual IP you add 15 to the last number so manual IP would be 192.168.0.30

This prevents other devices taking XBOX's ip address and there wont be conflicts in the future.

Then DNS settings and set them manual

Primary DNS 8.8.8.8 and secondary 8.8.4.4

Hey Tinkamii,

You can set up a static IP address and manually input DNS settings from your Xbox's network settings.

To set up a static IP address:

Settings>Network>Network Settings>Advanced Settings>IP Settings>Manual. When you go into Advanced settings, you will see your Xbox's assigned IP address along with a Subnet Mask and Gateway number. Write those numbers down or take a picture because you will
need to manually input those when asked. Once you confirm your Xbox now has a static IP address.

DNS setting changes is also found under Advanced Settings. Select DNS settings>Manual and put 1.1.1.1 for the primary DNS and 1.0.0.1 for the secondary DNS. This is a public DNS server.

Try that out and let us know the results!
