    Nope. Been fine for me all day.

    Checked your connection? Can you connect your PC to the internet?

    Your able to post here ok OP. Maybe try and reset your connection and see will the Xbox 360 pick it up on restart (I'm sure you have already). Hope you get it back man.

    It does go down for maintenance.

    ah nuts. no, i dont think i changed anything and this laptop is on the net. i tested the connection and all is ok until the last stage when the network is trying to connect to LIVE.

    christ, i was having problems with the console itself the last 2 days and now the console works, it wont go on LIVE. one of the suggestions is that the ISP or router is blocking access to LIVE, why that would happen, ive no idea. is it possible its Eircoms fault? the net was down for a while during the storms thurs night and all day friday and this is the first time ive managed to access the xbox since.

    It was doing the same for me the other day half way through watching some stuff on SkyPlayer. Everything else was still connected to the interwebnet fine, just not Live.

    Just faffed about for a bit pressing reset buttons and then it came back, no reason to think it was actually fixed by anything that I did or didn't do though.

    If your eircom, when you go into the router (192.168.1.254) theres a NAT section, where it says add custom service, theres a drop down for Xbl & PSN, add them and you should be good to go!

    excellent, your advice was almost 100% correct, when I also set the firewall to low, that got me on. provided my xbox stays healthy, im be satisified!
