Xbox Live Problems (NTL)

[Soong]

Hi,

My net connection on PC works fine. (for the most part).

However, lately I've been having real Xbox Live trouble. It's been working finei for months and after no changes it's started playing up. Most of the time it won't connect at all, other times it'll connect then drop after 5 minutes or so.

BB > STB > Router > Xbox

On connecting it says cables connected but then does various errors, mainly about DNS settings. I've tried flushing them and that didn't help. As far as I can see the DNS servers are fine.

Any ideas?

From what i have found with XBL, a lot of connection problems disguise themselves as DNS problems, so from reading this and your other post i would say that it is your connection that is the issue, not dns settings/ servers.

You could always switch to the ntl Xbox package, then you would be given a stand alone modem and appropriate connection kit. Extra £2 a month i know, but if it sorts out your problems, then it might be worth it. Although perhaps as you already have a router, maybe not

oh... and to the site
