What is a mtu in the exbox 360

An MTU is the largest physical packet size, measure in Bytes that a network is capable of transmitting.. If messages are larger than the MTU they are divided into smaller packets before they can be sent. All networks have different MTU's which the owner of the network set at what they want to set it at. 576 is a very common MTU if you connect through PPP. 1500 is the most common MTU for Ethernet connections. The Xbox Live system requires your network to have a certain Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU). MTU values are important to the performance of online games. If this test fails, you can adjust the MTU setting on your network router or equivalent device to resolve the problem. Xbox live requires the network you use to have a maximum MTU. This is key to online gamesing. If the MTU fails then you have to adjust the router you are using. If you cannot access the router to adjust the MTU the you will not be able to play online games.

the mtu may be because xbox live is being updated, id wait 24 hours and if it still doesnt work contact your isp(internet service provider).

Try it with the ethernet cable,that should work. Then try wireless, if it doesnt work, you'll have to take it further into your router config. Contact me for more assistance (MSN [email protected]

hey the cord you found was an eithernet cable that plugs from your xbox into your mondem at home. if your home internet is wireless you will have to buy a special wireless adapter for your 360. once its all plugged in go to connections on the 360's dashbored connect your xbox to the internet then follow the instructions to connect to xbox live you get a month free membership when you join
