hi mate, yeh i've been through all that, apart from the troubleshooting bit at the bottom, do you know how to disable security settings ??

[JohnnyReb51]

Hiya.

Never used a Livebox, so I am in the dark as much as you are, lol.

However, I did find this from Orange's site, for disabling Security during a test, which might put you on the right track.

Damn, cant get the correct page to show here, so you will have to go to the link below.

http://www.orange.co.uk/membercentre...embercentrenav

At the very bottom of the above page, click on the link for....

How to connect wirelessly to your Livebox using the Orange wireless adapter

On the next page, about halfway down, click on the turned off security link in the text for....

note: If you have manually turned off security on your Livebox, select that you have turned off WEP/WPA.

I am sure someone else here has been through all this and maybe offer direct instructions.

if i disable WEP and WPA, my livebox does not see my xbox.
i need to only have WEP security on because i have 'WEP key number' that i am prompted for on the console. i have also tried disabling livebox firewall but still 'IP Address failed'
surely some-one has successfully set up 360 to Orange Livebox ??

I've been having exactly the same problems... although I found that after disabling the security settings I could connect to XBL just fine. Briefly. Then it was back to no connection. It seems that the problem is adding the MAC address to the list of associated devices. I'm going to try hard-wiring the 360 into the router this evening in the hope that it will recognise the MAC and then go ahead and retry the wireless option...

I live in France and I, of course, also have a TV. I found that if you click "My Services" -----> "TV over ADSL" and then disable that. Then I was able to connect immediatly, with my Xbox...

Hi,
I'm trying to connect my 360 to live (i'm sure you could have figured that out...) and the network adapter shows wired.... but the ip failed. i've entered my address, but it still didn't work... what do i have to do? i have WEP security

I got rid of livebox firewall and wep key and IP address still fails!i got my adapter and gold 12m on christmas and i've been tryin to make it work for 3 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my son is having this same problem. did you manage to sort it and how?

Ta vm

sigh

had a wanadoo box, worked fine. orange send me a new one and make me send my old one back, epic failure. no router security, got rid of encryption, nothing. i actually have no idea how orange got their liveboxes xbox approved -.-

first go to the 360 dashboard

then go to network settings

edit settings

then scroll down twice to the wireless section and press "A"

it should show your wanadoolive box (i put mine right next to my livebox to get the best connection. select the live box by pressing "A"

It will then ask you for the wpa code just put the WEP code in with no dashes or gaps lll one long number and IN CAPITALS. might not have to but it worked straight away for me! do not press done!!!

before you press done press the button in ur livebox marked with a number 1.

now press done

test your connection and all should be fine.

Ive tried hard wiring my 360 to my orange livebox and it dosent seem to work. my ipod touch, psp and wii all seem to coonect fine but when i try and connect my 360 to it, it passes all of the tests up to the MTU test i have no ideas what it is or how to fix it. help please?

my ethernet cable it in my laptop and the "network adapter" is working and then my "ip address" failes it there a way it can work i want to get x-box live

hi
my IP adress is keep on sayong its failed i need help to fix it

Hi there. I know I shouldnt be posting here (MACRO-BUMP) but I have a Similar problem.

I have my T.V. Next to my Computer (XP/Desktop) and I insert the ethernet cable into my 360 and the back of the computer. Then I test the connection.

First, it tests Network Adapter. Result is "Wired"

Then, it tests my IP Address. The result is "Failed"


Then, I go to "Edit Settings". My IP Address is OK. But my "Subnet Mask" and "Gateway" addresses are what my XBox 360 tells me what it shouldnt be.



My Primary DNS Server is 0.0.0.0
Secondary is also 0.0.0.0


Could someone help me?

I am having mega problems with my livebox and xbox live. I have tried to get on and it is failing on the xbox live test. I have tried everything, pressing the no1 button, taking off the security, wireless and wired, portforwarding, DMZ, I have even returned it to ms but they say nothing is wrong with it. I get a Y error code starting with 0C02 which may mean that there is a problem with the EEPROM but I am not an expert. PLEASE HELP before the 360 gets dispatched with a size ten out my window.

Ok This is what I did When i Was on My friends Computer I typed in the Browser 192.168.1.1 Then it asked me for a UserName and Password The Password is Admin For Both I And if it askes You for a Password agin when Ur on the LiveBox Page Type admin for both again When u have Selected Settings there Should be Some sort ov setting saying Required for online gameing Disable It ! ..... But there Still a Problem theres 2 Ports Riight ? at the back of the live box the Second Port Doesent Work i Havent Figuired Out why ? So All i did was take His lead to the Computer Out ov the first Port on the Back of the live Box and Just Move the lead To his xbox To The First port Sorry But thats All i know He cant play On his Pc and His Xbox 360 At the same time And i Wouldent Disable Your Wep/Wpa Becasue other People can use your Wireless then i dont think you Wanna be paying for some 1 to Use it ... Hope This Helps
