    Im in student accommodation in NUI Galway and our internet connection is wired (one ethernet plug per room). Whenever I try to connect to xbox live it says my MTU settings need to be at 1356 or something, however i have no access to the router and i doubt that the people down in reception will be very accommodating! any ideas would be very much appreciated!

    I'm in a similar situation, campus accomodation in DCU. However, I rang up computer services department and asked them to open the relevent ports (you can get them on xbox website). I don't know if I was just lucky but I got on to a nice guy who actually opened the ports for me! Thing is, I can play xbox live but I can't update (might be a proxy issue? - I don't think its a port issue). So everytime there's an update I have to bring my xbox elsewhere to update and then bring it back and it will work. You might have a similar problem but at least it could work!

    Work and play, gotta get the balance right! Now that I mention it, I better start balancing it right :D

    Edit: Also, we pay a hefty premium for living on campus, we deserve something back
