If you are looking to purchase a router then I would check out the MBR1000 or the CTR500 from 3gstore.com

To get the XBOX to get DHCP you need to set it to automatic

Take a look the the Windows ICS setup here

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306126

If you follow this it should be pretty simple to get everything setup properly.

You will need to make sure the XBOX is plugged into your PC which I assume you have already done since you got an IP conflict error.

Try those steps and run the XBOX live test again and report your results this should help narrow down your problem a bit.

ok..so i opened up network connections on the control panel..the only one that is showed is:CDMA under DIAL UP (which is weird because i thought it would be shown under high speed?)..it is connected through my sprint sierra compass 597...i did exactly what the link you sent me said...i did all the ICS stuff properly..and still a no go..what should i do?..should i just buy a PS3?!..this is getting ridiculous..is shouldnt be that hard to connect to xbox live!

ok..one more question..if i buy that router and can get a wireless network..do i even need to deal with the bullshit with the wires and ip addresses?..or will the xbox just pick up the wireless network automatically?..

i appreciate you helping me with my problem..i know it must be frustrating dealing with me but it really is appreciated..

The XBOX needs a wireless adapter to pick up wireless but the Cradlepoint CTR500 has one ethernet port and wireless so you could plug your xbox into the ethernet port and make your PC wireless or if you got the MBR1000 it has 4 ethernet ports allowing you to connect up to 4 devices PC/XBOX?Etc. I think they also come with a gaming tip sheet if you buy them from 3gstore which explains how to connect them and get them working plus you get there support also.

PS3 is no easier when it comes to getting all this working. You will still need to use ICS only convenience maybe is that the PS3 has built in wireless.

Also what failure message are you getting now while trying to connect to XBOX Live?

Hey I've been ready some of the older post on here about Live is anyone still playing? I love Call of Duty and I've been stuck in limbo now for awhile with no DSL in my area I had AT&T 3g but it was unplayable I couldn't get a kill in COD W@W, I like to be able to lead in frags I was just wondering if anyone is playing and actually doing good in games? If you are what type of set up are you using I'd love to know!!!

i had xbox live with verizon evdo, it worked pretty well, (all i play are fps') but then they kicked me off because they said it was a violation of their terms of service? anyway to bypass their block wall thingy?
