Need help connecting 360 to internet

11-10-2008, 03:07 PM

If I remember correctly, the 360 needs to be either hooked directly into the modem/router throuth an ethernet cable, or be hooked up wirelessly with the wireless adapther (around $100), my personal opinion is that you tend to get more lag with wireless hookup with gaming, so it is often better to have a direct hookup.

it's currently hooked up to my router....don't know why I said gateway. It's a 2wire from AT&T.

I am not familar with AT&T Uverse, however make sure your modem is plugged in and running fine. Run a cat-5 from your modem to your router then a cat-5 from your xbox to your router. Go into setting on the xbox and run the connection test and it should guide you through everything. You may need to open up some ports too, do a Google search for Xbox Live ports.

Check to make sure you have the cat5 from the modem plugged into the correct (input) port on the router. It's really easy to get the wrong one, on some routers it's pretty ambiguous.

Until you get an xboxlive account, you're not going to see much that leads you to believe you're hooked up to the internet.
Kneo's right on the money, do what he said.
