Question

says i have a conection but wont let me use the internet and wen i try to conect the 360 it says its wired but the DNS fails

Answer 1

I suggest you check that you've plugged the 360 into the router, not the PC. DNS failure means that the 360 is unable to connect to what is known as a "name server". If you have a router, then this is normally your name server, but the 360 should automatically detect this by DHCP (complicated system whereby you can plug things into a network, and they automatically work out how to use it). The most likely cause for this failure is that you've plugged the 360 into the wrong thing.
