I'm trying to connect to Xbox live but it just won't work. I have the wireless adapter and it's definitely picking up the signal from our router, but every time I go to test the xbox live connection, it says that either the static IP address is wrong (afer I've manually typed it in), or else to switch the settings to "automatic" so that the router can automatically send the Xbox my IP address. Yet when I put the setting on automatic, the router is unable to send the IP address to the Xbox.

Does anyone know how to get past this problem or what I'm doing wrong? As I said, the wireless adapter is definitely picking up the signal so I don't know why it's not working. The router settings are set so that up to 50 devices can pick up it's signal, so it's not that only one device can get it (the laptop), and thus not the Xbox.

Even when I plug the ethernet cable into the console from the laptop, it still won't work. It can't get the IP address.

If anyone needs any clarification on anything, let me know.

Thanks.

Try setting your firewall to low. Are you using eircom broadband?

I'm with lastmile, not Eircom. I took off the router's firewall settings and it still won't work.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, has anyone got any other suggestions? Do you think giving lastmile a call tomorrow would help?

It's a Linksys Wireless-G router (2.4GHz). Model - WRT54GL

It's, AFAIK, one of the only routers that will actually work with lastmile so it should also work for Live.
