Sorry about the divorce. I do not have any living parents so you may be the lucky one. It sounds like the system may be recognising that you are trying to connect using your parents account. Xbox is a subscriber account I believe. I have PS3 which is a free account. But I understand that a subscriber account has a few more security factors as it involves money. So if they suspect that a person is trying to use the account but is not the account holder then they may block access regaudless of circustances. If you have right of access to the use of the Xbox then you could consider staring your own account. Then you can authorise any changes your self with out the need for verification from the account holder as you are then the account holder. I could use my account on any PS3 but any one can not use my account. It is just the account parts which are locked to the account holder. So if he/she does not allow then access is not allowed. If you had your own account you could open it and use it (I believe) on any Xbox as it is the account which is locked and not the Xbox. So trying to access the On-line part requires signing in as it is only accessible to the account holder or those he allows. My PS3 has an option to add more users to my account. It may be so with the Xbox. If your parent just does not want you using his account then that account is not available to you. Sorry but things like that sometimes happens to some people. I do not know your age and your parent may be concerned about allowing access whilst he is not there. I am older than eighteen so I do not need my parents permission to have my own account. It may be that you may have your own account at sixteen or less. But I beieve the Xbox requires a yearly payment. I do not know if I have been of help. But I hope I have.

Keep checking back so see when Xbox live is online and working. Then at that time quickly sign up. It worked for me and i'm on it right now!
Good luck everyone!

Is the modem also a router?
You need to login to the IP address of your device... if the modem is only a modem, try going to your own IP address.
http://whatismyip.com will help you find it. This may bring you into the settings of the modem. If it is a router as well, then you will need to go to your default gateway's IP address.
Go to start, then run.
Type cmd, then click ok.
type 'ipconfig' and hit enter. Look for your Default Gateway
type that ip into your browser (IE/Firefox/whatever) and login
adjust the MTU to recommended settings. If its at 1500, try 1364 of 1492

Go to "Settings" and highlight the "Parental Control" option. Then, press X, Y, L, X at the passcode screen to reset the parental control setting to the default value.
