Netopia 2247-02 problem

kleefarr

Here's the thing..

I had xbox live running fine at home with WGA54G, but now have come down to the in-laws and brought my WGA54G and a one months free xbox live code with me to introduce my brother-in-law to the delights of xbox live and I can't get the farking network connection working.

The thing is, he is an ex Eircom customer who has changed over to Vodafone and he's still using a Netopia 2247-02 that he got from Eircom about 10 years ago.

I have input the Vodafone 'vodafone@vodafone.ie' user name and 'broadband1' password but no joy.

Trawled the net, but there doesn't seem to be anything related to the Netopia 2247-02 now and have tried most of the things that they suggested for most modern Netopia 2247 routers.

Any pointers? (He asks hopefully.)

Edit: I would ask on the Vodafone forum, but as I and my brother-in-law are only Vodafone at home customers we can't appear to sign into their forum.

Edit 2: Having settings on 'Automatic' Gives an IP settings/address result, but nothing in the DNS Settings.

Are you sure the password is correct?

You say broadband1 but if you look here, it says broadband ie. no 1 at the end...

Yes, spotted that and have changed it accordingly.

Will work my way through this thread when I get a chance..

This is doing my head in.
Followed most of the thread I posted up, but I can't seem to be able to set up a static IP on the modem (Netopia 2247-02) even in expert mode.
I have firewall down to 'low' and settings on xbox at 'Auto', but it does not pick up anything. :mad:

There's 'Xbox Live Games' in the drop down menu under 'Custom Services'

Maybe ?

There is, but when I clicked and enable it asks for me to link to the laptop as the server and not the modem. No choice for modem
