Hi - Newbie here.
I currently have an Xbox 360 connected to my D-Link 615 router via a Homeplug system. We have two of these in the house and the other one works perfectly well. We have moved the Xbox into another room and since then the other home plug will connect communicate properly with the router.
Sometimes it will sign in, but will soon lose the connection, while other time it won't connect at all. I've tried the basics of rebooting the modem and router, and even trying a different ethernet cable in the Homeplug but no luck.
I've tried the Network Troubleshooter on the Xbox 360, which came up with:
Quote:
"Your network doesn't have a sufficient MTU Setting, Xbox LIVE Requires a minimum MTU setting of 1364.
On your PC, go to your router configuration webpage and set the MTU to auto, or 1364 or higher. If that doesn't work, disconnect your console from the router, and connect it directly to the modem"

I've gone into the Configure Network page on the Xbox, and the settings are as follows:
Quote:
IP Settings: Automatic
IP Address: 169.254.125.14
Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
Default Gateway: 0.0.0.0
|
All of the above looks a bit dodgy as the IP address shown is different from what my router has associated with the MAC address of the console. When I log into the Router and check the DHCP Client List it shows the Xbox's MAC address but shows the assigned IP as
192.168.0.100. The subnet mask also looks incorrect (rest of the computers on the network are using the 255.255.255.0 subnet).
I have basic network knowledge but it is unfortunatly just that, so was hoping someone would be able to help me in resolving this problem. I'm assuming that I need to manually assign the Xbox a correct IP address, change the subnet to match the rest of the network and set the default gateway to the routers IP address... How would I go about assigning a static IP on the D-Link 615 using default firmware? Can I set the Xbox a static IP and leave the other devices on the network on DHCP as it seems to be working ok on them.
Sorry if this is a stupid question, just a bit confused by it all.
Thanks
