Answer 1

go on run. type in cmd, the type "ipconfig /all"

it will come up with your DNS servers number near the bottom, on your xbox change the DNS settings to manual and enter that number :)

Answer 2

What IP address are you using for DNS?  Try using a public DNS server, for example 4.2.2.1.

Let us know if this works.
