Hi, i hook up my old xbox to my computer and it keeps saying connot connect to server. please help treat me like kindergarden ok

Hi loads of people are having the same problem, xbox live must be having some downtime or server issues if you was the only one then it could be your end but in the last hour their have been loads of posts regarding this problem and all users are getting the same message.

try switching you xbox off and back on and if it still dont connect then your going to have to wait i would try again in an hour or two, usually down time for the servers is a couple of hours while xbox install updates to xbox live, its not a problem your end so dont get changing any settings, the problem is with xbox live so just bare with them and it will sort itself out.

the last time this happened was about 6months ago and the downtime was just over 4 hours, so bare with them for a bit and it will be sorted.

you could try logging into the xbox site on the net and not through your xbox and check the xbox chat rooms and you will be able to find out more their.

let me know if you need further assistance ok

plz rate this solution as i have a whole page on unrated posts, thanks

ok but did you remove the old copy first, remove it and clean your registry it is probably storing the old info in your registry and is saying to its self , why do they need another, treat it as a fresh install remove everything

No its not down, im in matchmaking right now and is it any of your settings maybe? Its a problem with your server because thats why its saying about retreiving information from the server. i dunno what thingy to put it in so i put it in solution

this seems like ea dont have enough power for the amount of people willing to play their games. it seems a lot of ea games are not connecting so i would say that ea need to upgrade themselves its not you as many people have the same problem

every computer has an ip adress you might have to go to your internet setting and find some thing that says some thing like... internet adress hook up hopefully you keep files on your computer becuase with out your ip adress you might not be able to hook up its sorta like a combination hope it helpes:)

The Xbox 360 cannot access the internet through an ethernet cable that is connected to your laptop. You have to connect your Xbox 360 directly to your modem or to some form or router.

ok SET SYSTEM CLOCK back 3 years. i know it sounds stupid, but it resolved my issue. ( FYI, you must be signed out of xbox live to set system clock.)
