If the network is Wireless there is a strong chance that the problem is caused by Router Firewall whuch can be changed only by router manufacturer, try to bypass the router and check.
And try to set network connections to automatically pick IP address

Hi,
Do you have a computer with wireless connectivity?
if yes then there is something that u should try first/
Enable internet connection sharing on that computer and connect it via ethernet cable to your xbox
and assing the ip address manually, the default gateway would be the ip address of the computer
if you are able to connect via this method then you need to speak to your ISP

Poor Xbox Live Connection - Beetel 450 TC1 ADSL2+ Wifi Router

Xbox live requires a minimum 2mbps connection just to function
tip

Connect your 3g mobile broadband to an xbox360!

Have you ever wonder if you could connect your 3G mobile broadband modem to your xbox360? Well i have done it and it works fine.

What you will need to do is enable network sharing in your laptop/pc

I am using a vista laptop and orange mobile boradband, and this is how i done it!

First of all connect your 3G modem to your laptop/pc as you normaly would. Now get an ethernet cable and plug this into your laptops ethernet port and then into the back of your xbox's ethernet port.

Click on start> connect to> Then you will see "open network and sharing center" Click that. In the next window you will find all networks connected to your laptop/pc. You will see one below your normal internet connection called unidentified network. Click "view staus" Now in this window click and go to properties. now in this window click on the network tab at the top of the window. While now in this window click on enable network sharing via this device. Now go to your xbox360 and try to connect to Xbox live if at the first atempt it did not work test your connection via xbox as it will ask you to do this anyways. You should now be eable to connect to xbox live using your 3G modem.

Hope this helps!

How to use a cell phone as a wireless modem for xbox360 problem:

If you have a Windows PC, you can connect the Xbox 360 to it with an Ethernet cable and then plug the modem into the PC. Windows Internet Connection Sharing then lets you share the mobile broadband connection with the Xbox 360.

Unfortunately, the NAT settings for mobile broadband services are controlled by the provider. This will affect your ability to connect to Xbox Live or play games with other people.

Any questions leave me a comment or testimonial. Hope this helps.

Xbox live via cricket wireless

I can connect to XBox Live through this fashion on my Cricket Modem:

Now, I have had problems with this fix running Windows 7 (still can't get it to work), but I didn't have any struggles with XP or Vista.

You need to go into Manage Network Connections, right click on your Cricket Modem, and select Properties.

Click the Share Tab, and click it so it allows other users to connect through that network connection. Now, go to the Networking tab under Properties and right click on the Internet Protocol Version 6 and make sure it is automatically assigning both DNS and the 6 IP, Apply.

Next do the same with the TCP/IPV4 section under Networking, make sure everthing is automaticaly assigning.

Click on the Router and make sure that it is automatically assigning the Internet Protocol 4 and 6. Now click diagnos, and it should reset the router, automatically apply the correct settings, and bam. You SHOULD be able to connect with XBox Live.

I have no problems with this with Vista and XP, as I stated before. But now my main computer is running the 7 RC and I can't figure the darn thing out yet. So I figured out a cute solution. I took my Dell Mini, connected the Cricket Modem to it, and ran an ethernet cord from the XBox to the Mini.

Pretty much same solution after that, only instead of selecting your router, you select the LAN connection that is not your Cricket. For me itassigns the XBox as LAN and the Cricket as LAN2.

Let's see how it goes. :)
