I have been having problems since connecting my xbox 360. Basically I only had 1 ethernet card in my machine which my ntl bb was using (my modem is ntlhome 200 (351000)) and I wanted to connect my xbox to the PC so that I could browse my music and pictures. I took my bb from the ethernet port and linked it to the usb port which was problematic and then connected my xbox to the ethernet port.

I got the setup working ok for a time although I couldn’t connect to xbox live is the wife was on the internet.

Anyway the problem is now that I don’t have an internet connection at all! it did work intermittently for a time but has decided to pack in all together.

I tried changing my internet connection back to ethernet with no joy at all and last night the modem decided to have a mess about and the rdy light was flashing like a strobe light!!!

I used cmd and tried to ping a website, at first I was getting packet loss about every 7 seconds but as I tweaked (or messed up more like) with thing I would be getting packet loss and then request timed out and now I get no connection at all.

I would be grateful for any hints or suggests that you lads/lasses may have and sry about the long post - I’ve tried to keep it as brief as possible.

Thanks
