    I have ran the Xbox LIVE connectin test and everything is sound, but when I try to log on to Xbox LIVE in any way, it tells me there is a problem with the connection.

    Has anyone else had this problem?

    I have eircom broadband through a netopia wireless modem and I'm using the microsoft Wireless Network Adapter.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

    The first thing to do would be to check your firewall settings, reduce them to low and give it a try again.

    When you do the test connection does it say its wired? Did you have to put your wep key in yet?

    The test recognises the wireless connection alright - and all the settings appear sound.

    Not to sound like a complete idiot, but how do I check firewall settings if the connection is through the modem and not my PC? (Mac, not PC I'm afraid)

    Type this in to your internet browser http://192.168.1.254 then go to firewall and change it to low..
    Then go to custom services and switch it to xbox live games

    Sweet... that worked perfectly.

    Even with a reasonably sound tech head on my shoulders, there's always something new to learn, so much for plug and play.

    Thanks again for the tip, you're a star

    Hey guys
    just wondering....
    Does the xbox live wireless usb have to be purchased to use the wireless function or can ya just use any normal pc wireless adapter?
