Wassup guys, my 595u had a hardware failure and sprint gave me the Compass 597 in return. Xbox live worked great with the 595u but i cant get it to connect using the Compass 597. My set up is ethernet from pc to xbox ICS enabled. It connected with no problems using the 595u but i cant get the xbox to obtain an iP Address with the new 597.

Anyone know the fix to this? Help is appreciated

Call xbox live, 1-800-4myxbox. They will tell you to do something that will reset all of your connection settings. It should automatically detect your IP address after that. I had that same problem when I switched from my 595 to my 727.

They told me to call Sprint and get my ip address, subnet mask and all that stuff.

The xbox is actually picking up an ip address which is 169.254.201.59 and a subnet mask which is 255.255.0.0 but once i test the connection it says cant obtain an ip address from the router or modem.

You know what it took me hours to fix this problem, but once I finally figured it out, I got sick of messing with ics and bought a router.
