I have the wireless adapter for my 360 and every time I try to sign online it tells me it cannot find my IP address. I tried the FAQ online but it didn't help me. And please explain it terms I can understand lol

 

Save yourself some time and money. Return the wireless junk and go hardwired...

 

thats hard cause my 360 is in the basement and the comp stuff is on the main floor

 

Even easier, trash the 360, and get a real mans game system. PS3.

 

If I was home, I'd make you a cable. I've got 1000 feet of fresh Cat5 and some RJ45's just taking up room at home

 

Wireless is nice man, took me a couple minutes to figure it out. I'll go back and see what I did when I get home.

 

i forgot to mention everything was fine for a couple months with the live... then one day it just didnt work anymore

 

Now, now let's not start that old rant again
Don't hate on el X Box, I stopped bout the HD-DVD/BlueGay one


R0c,

Does it even detect the wireless connection??? Iam assuming it may list the available networks and you would have to choose the right one and put in a password if its password encrypted. I have mine hard wired but my Wii is wireless and required me to verify all of that info before it would connect.

If it worked before then I can only assume that your IP address changed from you service provider, they arent static and can change at anygiven time IF you specified the IP address into the wifi connection to xbox.

 

it detects my wireless connection and it even says the connection im suppose to be connected to. just cant find the IP

 

Manually enter it

 

power cycle everything.

 

where/how do i find my IP

 

ummmm just grab a laptop and let it connect to your wireless lan then if its WinXP just go to start> Run> type in "cmd" w/o the "" in the black window just type in ipconfig/all

It will list your info, look for the gateway address which tends to be the router that will have the IP address from your provider.

 

doesnt work

 

did you ever have to manually insert the IP address???

 

i just did and it still aint work. is the wireless adapter a POS?

 

Have you changed your wireless modem/router? Are you using a WPA2 connection? reason I ask is because I had the same issue when I switched my G router to a N.

 

nothing has been changed. it just decided not to work one day and stay like that

 

I know that certain routers after some time decide to make it hard on you by actually turning wifi off and on and it causes you to not be able to detect the network or not connect or even get the IP. Most of the time this happens to be an internal OS problem with most of the routers. All I can tell you is that you may need to get a new router and if you go that way, I suggest you try installing/flashing it a new OS. Read the article in the link for more info (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DD-WRT). That OS solves a lot of the problems you may see with most routers. You just need to be careful to buy the right one and correctly do the flash or you can brick your router. Hopefully that helps.
