I'm having an Irish Broadband issue...

    Due to having no other option, I bought a Ripwave to use for gaming yesterday. It worked fine in all respects. Now, as of about an hour ago, I can't connect to Xbox Live. I can still use it for regular internet though. Xbox Live doesn't seem to currently be down, so... I'm stumped. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    (I'd do a search first, but... y'know.)

    Using Ripwave for everything else except web browsing & email is a big FAIL. Is it a ports issue maybe?

    Thats a bit harsh but true :pac:

    OP ripwave is a midband product-if you want to play x box live i suggest you get dsl or cable.

    Do you connect the ripwave directly into your computer or does it go through a router?
