Ok check this out, I tried to connect to Xbox live with my old modem and I failed. My MTU failed so i did some research and i found out I needed a min number to connect to Live. I decided to order a new modem because mine was older than my son....4.5 ...lol. After much procrastination, I ordered a new modem from my provider, AT&T. Ive been trying to connect all night long and its driving me nuts. I checked my MTU setting and they're at 1492 well above the min requirements. Question, do I need a router? Im hooking up directly to a new modem to the xbox. Is it a firewall settings? Trust me Ive gone thru like 20 different forums reading and trying all of the tips,idk wtf to do!!!!
Do I need to enter my IP and DNS info manually?
I want to get online and kick ass already |

IT sounds like you might need to open up some ports (I had a similar problem with mine although I'm connecting through a router which lets me open up the specific ports needed for gaming)
When you are connecting everything directly, are you resetting the modem (turning it off and on ) then also resetting you XBox? They dont tell you that, but everytime you make a change on your modem, you also have to reboot the XBox
You might wanna call XBox to get a list of those ports that need to be opened (1 800 4MY XBOX) |

you'll need to open ports...i went through same trouble on my router...not sure what you'll need to do when connected directly to modem, but i'm sure its somethin similar
