Wired connection

King Wxlverine · Dec 27, 2015

Ever since I switched to wired connection I haven't been able to play online. I did all the things Microsoft told me to do, I did a manual set up, hard resets, and all that fun jazz. None of it worked. When I put in its ip address it automatically switches
it to the wrong one. I'm lost and I need help. Thanks

Wired Connection

To what device does the Ethernet cable terminate into (from your console's Ethernet port to -->?)?

When wired, is your console able to obtain an IP address from the DHCP server?

If you haven't already, I suggest you go into your console's network settings. Select Advanced and Alternate MAC address. From here, select Clear and power cycle your console.

Let me know how that goes.

Why are you attempting to enter an IP address and what address are you wanting to enter? Please provide the following

What Country/State/Province do you live in?

Modem brand & model number:

Router brand & model number:

How many Xbox 360 and Xbox One consoles are connected to this router?:

Wired or Wireless (for each console):

Things you have tried:

Is UPnP Enabled? Yes/No/Unknown:

Do you have a NAT error? If so, what is your NAT type?:

Any Error Codes you encounter:

Who is your ISP? (Internet Service Provider):

Yup tried having it in both automatic (numbers are constantly changing when in automatic) and also tried putting it in manual nothing is working yet =(

Maybe I can guess what problem you have been encountered with. Is your internet provider uses VPN (Dial to connect) services? If so, you CAN'T connect to Xbox Live with wired ethernet connection because Xbox 360 do NOT compatible with local VPN services.
I have that problem too. Problem was solved by using wireless connection.

yup tried switching the port, checkmark is there and cat 5 is brand new

This may be presumptuous of me but did you try switching which port it was connected to on the back of your router/modem?

Is there a check mark next to "Wired Connection" in the network test screen?

Is the Cat5 in good shape itself?

This usually happens, whenever the Xbox is unable to get an IP address from your router.

The 169.254.XXX.YYY adresses are auto assigned by the console itself, if it can't find a DHCP server. Sice you said your WLAN worked fine, I guess DHCP was working properly before, which leads me to believe that either the network port of the console or
router are faulty, or the cable itself.

If you say the last three are constantly changing from 0 to other numbers, it means that in these times, the console could properly get an IP Address for the Gateway (G) and DNS Servers (D). This should however also change the "A" adresses.

Therefore my guesstimate could also be, that the cable you got is either of low quality, and outside noise interferes with the cable, or it is faulty with a bad contact. Or maybe the bad contact is in the ports of your router or console itself.

So if possible, can you bring the console to a friend with a different router or modem, and try it with your cable if that works? Maybe have your friend try a different cable that he is sure that it works?

The issue seems to be "inside" your network, as the console doesn't get a proper address to get "outside" to the Internet and Live in the first place.
