    Possibly some of the settings on the router....well thats what I had to change.
    If you're at a student village you might not have access to the router settings.

    Search this forum and you'll find the setting you need to change.

    yeah something about NAT error.

    If you can, get a static IP for your 360, then input the address' of the DNS servers you are useing and hopefully that will get it up and going. Also check that the ISP is Xbox live! compatable, as mentioned by the lafors

    Can you play games on the PC though? Chances are the college will have only allowed port 80 (internet) and a few select others open, to stop students using p2p software etc. So theres not much chance of getting the xbox online if thats the case.
