360 update i just got back online and my 360 will not update. It says there is a problem with my connection, but in the connections test the only one that does not connect is xbox live. What do i do?

To update on Xbox LIVE:

1. Connect your Xbox 360 console to the internet. If your console is not connected already, see Connect to Xbox LIVE.
2. On the console, go to My Xbox, and then select System Settings.
3. Select Network Settings.
4. Select Wired Network or the name of your wireless network if you are prompted to do so.
5. Select Test Xbox LIVE Connection.
6. Select Yes if you are prompted to update console software.

Copy the Update to a USB Flash Drive If you don't have an Xbox LIVE account or have a slow Internet connection, using a USB flash drive is a good option.
Note: The USB flash drive must use the FAT32 file system.
Update using a USB flash drive:

1. Connect your USB flash drive to a USB port on your computer.
2. Click here to begin downloading the update folder. Save it as "$SystemUpdate9199.zip" anywhere on your computer.
3. Unzip the File.
4. Copy the contents from the unzipped folder onto the root of your flash drive.
5. Safely remove the flash drive from your computer and plug it into a USB port on your Xbox 360 console. If your console is on, turn it off, then back on. The update program will start automatically.
6. Select Yes when you are prompted to update the console software.

The xbox update for kinect launch is screwing with things for some reason. I fixed mine by going into System Settings, Network settings, then running a test on xbox live. Initiating the test logs your profile out then runs a network test. The test completed with no problems and then asked me if I wanted to update again. Without logging back into my profile I clicked OK and the update ran without a hitch. I think the solution lies in the fact that my profile was logged out and from what I have seen, the only way to connect to xbox live without a profile being logged in is with a network test. Once you connect to xbox live it senses that you don't have the update and asks you again, this time without a profile logged in and you are able to do it.

My xbox will not let me update the new updates. It says Cant download the update test connection then it says test connections. it still doesnt work

try looking at your wireless connection and in this case try deleting your orginal connection and creating a new connection

two things, if you're using a wireless modem, unplug it from console, re-set it and let it connect and sit for a minute. then plug it back into the console. if you have just a regular modem do the same thing. make sure the wire connecting you're box to the modem isn't too long(over 7feet is too long). it wont update if you're not connected to the internet.

See if your test connection is "open" if it is not then it is your provider and will have to change. Typically schools such as uiniversities block xboxlive because it takes up bandwidth. 
Please post further detail about your problem, thanks.

Try turning off the Xbox 360 console. Wait a little bit. Unplug the wireless reciever on the Xbox 360 console and plug it back in. Then turn on the Xbox 360 console and try again.
