XB1 keeps losing its network configuration

Getting the same here, plus the xb1 seems to lose its network connection wired or wireless, I'm going to stop using inline with Sky box and just have it as a games console on a spare hdmi... Flaky

Hi Adam,

The IP that you're getting is what's known as a Reserved Private Address and will be on the range of 169.254.x.x. This occurs when the static IP doesn't take and the device (in our case, the XB1) can't retrieve a valid address from a DHCP server.

If this is occurring, it suggests that either the XB1 networking configuration isn't being recognised or that the manual configuration is taken, but the XB1 defaults back to DHCP after it fails to contact the gateway.

Either way, there's two method's to assign a static IP and if the MAC has been configured in your router for a DHCP reservation, then there shouldn't need to be any configuration at the end device. You should only need to configure a static IP address on
the XB1 if there is no DHCP reservation on the router and you're trying to assign an address OUTSIDE of the DHCP range.

i.e. DHCP Range is: 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.99

But you want the XB1 to be 192.168.1.100

Greetings!

when i connect to my network thats unsecured it brings me to the providers page to log in to, how do I configure my network to match that so i can get onto x box live??[/quote]If it requires you to enter a username and password each time you start up a browser
on your PC to access the Internet, then the simple connection method do not work. The Xbox are by design not able to do this on its own. However, there are solutions for this.

Post back and let us know how it goes.

This page explains how to port forward for Xbox Live:

It obviously depends on the router as some are slightly different...there should be a page in the router's manual about it. You should be able to sort it out without needing to phone your ISP

I'm Samy an independent advisor. Welcome to the community. How are you?

I recommend calling your ISP and asking to open these ports.

Port 88 (UDP)

Port 3074 (UDP and TCP)

Port 53 (UDP and TCP)

Port 80 (TCP)

Port 500 (UDP)

Port 3544 (UDP)

Port 4500 (UDP)

Also ask to put the IP of the console in the DMZ zone, if you need additional ports this function will take care of that.
