Xbox Live Won't Connect Help Please?

Question

We have a wired connection and it signs in and shows that one of my friends is online, which he is, but then after a while, its acts as if im not signed in to xbox live. Theres just a long pause while its 'connecting' and then that connect to xbox live button appears. If i click connect to xbox live, it just seems to go in a loop, showing that my friend is online, but not signing me in

I was on Beijing olympics, that worked fine, then xbox live just wouldnt sign me in properly....

Does anyone know what to do, to make it work. My connection is fine

Answer 1

I had the same thing happen to me. Unfortunately, its just a problem with the xbox live server itself. I did notice that once I put a game in, then I am able to sign in and see my friends etc. It was just on the dashboard that it wouldnt let me sign in to xbox live. When we called support, they told us it must just be xbox live acting up. (Which we all know how that is.)

Answer 2

do you need to update the game you are playing? if there is an update, and you dont install it, it will auto sign you off xbox live, also try and delete your connection settings and reassign it. power cycle your modem and your xbox, that usually covers all the connection issues related to the MS side, if problem persists, look at hardware (cables) (modem) or router settings.

Make sure that you NAT (network address translation) is set to open if it is not it will not stay connected to live
