Hey guys, I was wondering if you'd be able to help me out.

I just got my 360 a couple weeks ago, and decided I'd try and go on live yesterday, so I hook the same ethernet cable I use for my laptop up to the 360 and it cant connect. When It does the test, it says my connection doesn't have a sufficient MTU (maximum transmission unit), and I need to change my internet settings. The problem is, I live in a dorm, and therefore have no control over the internet settings. I know other guys on my floor are on live though. Any help and/or ideas would be much appreciated.

Peace

If you're into the party scene, you should dig it.

Also, about half the guys on my floor play COD4 constantly, so if you're into that, you'd be in luck.

I know your MTU is in your router, if your router is set to not transmit like 8800 live wont let you on (I think thats how they keep dial up connections off) My buddy had the same problem and he had to get a new router, its possible that the guys that are already set up are on a different router in the dorms which is why they can get on. If your friends with any of them I would take your 360 to their room and hook it up and see if your live will work then.

Thanks guys. I think I'll just have to ask around here and see if someone can help me.

I thought about calling support but I don't happen to be in the mood for being on hold all day. Oh well.
