X-Box Live- IP issue

Hi All,

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question. After 2 months of waiting i have finally got broadband again (Magnet), I'm very excited. I have been looking forward very much to setting up my x-box live. It all seems to be going swimingly, except for the fact i cant set it up to my wireless network. It is reading the network no issues, but keeps failng when it trys to get the ip address. I've tried maually putting in the details, but alas, it keeps on failing. Could someone please help me.

What security is the wireless router using? Is it the Magnet Wireless router? Or your own?

If its WEP, you need to enter the key in the network settings before you try and connect, I think its in advanced options.

I have Magnet, but I dont use their wireless. I use my linksys, and works fine. Also, dont set WPA encryption on whatever router, AFAIK X360 doesnt support it, I could be wrong, but the old Xbox didnt.

HTH,
Stephen

Hey,

Thanks for the reply. I've conected the magnet rounter to a belkin one and am useing that. The xbox is telling me that it is connecting to the network, no issues, and i can see the network icon with a little green light beside it, so i presume that that means the network is not an issue. I've tried manually putting in my Isp, Subnet and Gateway settings but its still failing me. Although knowing my level of networking knowledge i've probably done something completely wrong along the way.
