I recently chucked my money-hungry cable internet in favor of a locally-based DSL company. It is twice the speed at half the price I was paying thru Charter in the past. The internet works great, but the problem is, my 360 doesn't connect anymore :( Both MS and the DSL company said it is likely the modem. The modem is a speedstream, model 5260. I have to open a port or somethign???not sure. Does anyone know what I can do to resolve the issue aside from getting a new modem? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Are you using a router? to connect you PC and the 360 at the same time?. If you aren't, i suppose you are plugin and unplugging the cable to your pc and 360 every-time you want to use them, and when you do that, you should disconnect the modem's power every-time you connect it to a different machine. (360 and PC). Also, if you aren't using a router, there's no place to open ports, :roll: so it wont be a port problem.
 If you are using a router, its a different story.:?
RESET the system settings! I forget whats it called but, theres a way to run the xbox like you did when you turn on the system first time. That should do it because when I got my friend online for the first time he used MY modem, and a week later when he got his DSL it wouldn't work. Try it.

Wait - so he couldn't connect after switching to DSL? Was he able to connect after resetting everything?Â
