When you try to connect to live we might need some information even from the PC like to get the IP address from the PC to set it manually on the dashboard of your Xbox 360 console, and to get all connection information from the PC follow these few steps:
- On the PC desktop click "Start"
- Then “Run” & type there "cmd" 
- You will get a prompt black screen so type there "ipconfig /all" (take care there is a space between the g and the /) then press "Enter" 
- You will get some information about your connection appearing on that black screen, among these information you’ll find all the connection information including: Physical address, IP address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, DNS addresses.
- When you are looking for "Physical Address" get it from your local area connection part, it will look like this 00-E0-98-C1-88-C2

Hi,
When i run CMD, the black box keeps disappearing.
Is there another way to find the DNU Server.
Gary
Hi Gary,
If you have a look on your PC screen when you are connected you'll find 2 computers icon on the bottom right side of the screen on the taskbar, which is the notification icon that you are online.
Double click on this icon, you'll get a pop up widow divided into "General" and "Support" taps.
Go to the "Support" tap and click on "Details", there you'll find also your DNS server.
Cheers.
My "default gateway" field is blank.
Hello
I spent hours and hours and hours trying to find a solution to the ip address failed - and reading your posts fixed it! THANK YOU!
However, I'm still having trouble wwith the DNS server failing. I am trying an ICS connection with the xbox - and using 192.168.0.2 as the IP as suggested (my LAN is set at 192.168.0.1, with subnet and everything else blank)
I've tried the following:
Automatic dns: no
using 192.168.0.1 (same as IP and LAN) - no
using my internet connection dns - no
I've tried looking it up on ipconfig but it comes up blank
I've tried entering the dns manually on the LAN and Xbox to match all combos, and still failed.
any tips?
thx

Hi
I tried what you said about getting my ip address on the computer and when I did, I tested connection to xbox live and still it failed because it said my gateway did not respond to the networks request. What do I do?
Hi there,
I assume you are connecting you Xbox 360 to your PC, if this is correct and You get IP faled you'll need to check some points.
1- You haven't set the ICS connection correctly or have shared the internet connection to the wrong local area connection, check this here:
http://xbox360help.blogspot.com/2007/03/ics-internet-connection-xbox-live.html
But first disable ICS by unticking the "Allow others to connect...." box
2- You haven't restored your Xbox network settings to the factory defaults to delete any PPPOE settings saved there.
Go to System - Network Settings - Edit Settings - Additional Settings -PPPOE and clear it)
3- You have not used the ip address 192.168.0.2 on your Xbox
Make sure it's that one.
4- If you connect your PC to a router, make sure the following ports are open: UDP 88, UDP 3074, TCP 3074
Hope this helps

I have a newer version of Windows than the one shown in your pictures and I can't find "run" option. Do you think you can help me with that?
hey =]
my xbox is connected to my laptop and from there to the verizon fios modem. the problem is that i accidentally checked the box "obtain ip address automatically" under the TCP/IPv4 Properties of the local area connection i had pc-xbox.
there was an ip address there that made everything work fine, but it got erased after the box-checking.
now it doesnt work, the ip address test fails.
i really need help.
here is a picture that might help.

hi i have tried all the stuff you have said and none of it works the DNS keeps coming up failed what should i do?
Ok I just got my HDD back from you guys and I need to recover my gamertag to get it back. I connect using a direct modem approach, and the DNS fails on me it has never happened before. I got the ip address that works but when I set the DNS to automatic and manaul(using the one on the cmd ipconfig /all window) it comes up failed.I dond know whats wrong with it but please help.
Hey, i'm Rob.
I have followed everystep you have told me through ICS and IP connections using 'cmd' and 'ipconfig /all'. But when you told me to go to the 'Advanced' tab and 'Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection', i did that but to a different connection...
The connection you told me to do it to, underneath 'Dial Up', i dont connect to the internet that way, i connect to the internet through a connection i made myself, and that is under the heading 'Broadband'. I connect through that connection with a user name and password, i shared that connection instead of the one underneath 'Dial Up' and it wouldnt help. Oh, and when i turn my Xbox360 off, no connection states a red cross over it to state my Xbox360 has been turned off...
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thankyou in advance,
Rob.

I am having an issue. I have 2 Xbox360's running off one router/cable modem. Whatever you call it. And lately it's been kicking me out of party chats and whatnot. I was kicked off last night of a halo 3 game bbecause my xbox live was up. so i bought a new month and played a little longer until i was kicked off line agian. this time it couldnt find my ip address and what not. when i tried typing manually it was not working and than said something about MAC address... my Brother's 360 works Fine on line (although no live membership) but says that it's connected to computer! Strangee Helop!
hi!
i wasn't sure if i could do it with just an ethernet cable straight to my pc. and it isn't working, the run program trick you showed did work and i put in all the correct info but it's still not working. the message im getting is " can't connect to your network hardware using static ip adress. Turn your router or modem off and back on, then wait 30 seconds" since i dont have a router nor modem i am unsure of what to do. help!
I just wanted to thank you, your post really helped me...
Thanks,
i do everything u said wen i look for the ip address the default gateway code is always 0.0.0.0 how can i get the code and ive noticed that on ur example it says dhcp=enabled and on mine it says disabled whats wrong
