Xbox Live

[cvitech]

I have a modded xbox using x3 chip. Everything is working great. I decicde to try xbox live out the other day and noticed that my xbox will not communicate with xbox live at all. I have not signed up for xbox live at this point but when I boot the M$Dash you go thru the configuration and it will test your cable, ip address, and dns then try to communicate to xbox live. Everything passes with flying colors except the communication with xbox live. I have another xbox that is modded so I tried it. This one does communicate with xbox live. When I test the connection status on this xbox it test the cable, ip address, dns and xbox live and they all pass. One of the differences I noticed between the 2 xboxes is the one that works, in the connection status screen at the top has a s/n:xxxxxxxx. The one that doesn't work has no s/n:. It is blank. Is this the cause of the problem and what is this s/n:? I know there is not a cable problem or network connectivity problem. I did find that my dsl router was blocking certain type of packets that xbox live requires but I called the manufacturer and they sent me a new firmware upgrade to fix that problem. I tried a new xbox that is not modded and it communicates ok as well. Anybody have any clues????

Your formatting makes the post hard to read.

I take it that the mod chip is turnrd off ?

Yes, the mod chip is turned off. I don't understand why it will not communicate with xbox live. I have not registered with xbox live so the communication with xbox live should work. When I sign up for a new account it says it cannot communicate with xbox live. It will go thru a series of test. One is cable test, IP test, DNS query test then communication with xbox live. It passes all of them except the communication with xbox live. While doing the test there is a S/N: at the top of the screen. I assume this is for some sort of serial number. There is no number to the right of it. The other xbox that I have that is modded does work and has a serial number. Any Ideas....

Provided its a new xbox thats never been on-line before, and you have the mod chip off, there should be no problems.

My Xbox is connected to my network, and I had to put an IP in manually.

Make sure its detecting all your ISP settings, like DNS and stuff. Other than that without messing with it I'm at a loss.
