Xbox won't connect after 12:01 because of dns servers

izayatheslaya · Sep 23, 2016

For some reason every night at 12:01 my Xbox live turns of and says dns can't resolve server names and from 12:01 pm to 7:00 AM my Xbox live dosent work. I asked my parents if they had restrictions on the Xbox they said no. So right now I am very confused
Because everything else through that time still works. So if somebody could help me that would be much appreciate.

DNS servers can't be named

I watched a video on YouTube on how to open ports for xbox, and after I did that, my xbox now says that the dns servers can't be named, and all my devices won't connect to the internet. I have very little understanding of this stuff, and have no idea what
is going on!!!!

Would switching ISP change my current dns servers?

with a new ISP you get new DNS Servers. In Network Settings of your xbox you can use the default ISP DNS Servers (automatic) or you can use public DNS Servers. You have to manually configure it in Network settings of your xbox.

Google DNS

developers.google.com/.../public-dns

8.8.8.8

8.8.4.4

or

open DNS

Cloud Delivered Enterprise Security by OpenDNS

208.67.222.222

208.67.220.220

but I don´t think that DNS Servers are the Problem. How do you connect? How is your NAT Type if you do the Network Test of your xbox. Do you run the latest Firmware for your Router?

What country/region/state do you live in?

Who is your Internet provider?

Could you try and manually change the primary DNS server to that of Google's public DNS server and let us know if this works.

DNS servers, should be 2 dns server numbers, on your xbox network configure screen enter dns settings manually, primary setting is the top dns number supplied in cmd, the secondary is obviously the 1 below, after entering the ip and dns settings manually
re run connection test and then sign in using your live account. hopefully you should now be connected to xbox live.

Hi,

No DNS is not the issue here its just that you can't connect to the wireless network at all, until you can connect to the network it won't get an ip address or a DNS address, even if you manually enter an address it won't help because it isn't connected
to the wireless network.

The router issues the Xbox an ip address and DNS settings, but it won't until has connected to the network first which it can't at the moment.

If you play p2p games and your router has something like DDOS Protection it sometimes thinks your xbox get DDOSED because of the p2p connection.

Try to disable your routers DDOS connection an be sure you run the latest Firmware for your router.

If you can't connect to servers I would try to use a different DNS Server.

In network settings of your xbox you can use google DNS Servers:

8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
