THANKS TO ALL!! u all provided me with some sweet info which i could pass on to my bro

BuMp, halp anyone

i have no idea if its a dhcp problem aswell :(

i really wanna get back online playing gta iv :)

My router has built in wireless, laptop disconnects, everything disconnects, all internet is gone. Tried resetting and all, didnt fix problem, ive port fowarded tcp/udp 3074 and 88 udp, i have no idea bout dhcp, all i know is that its on, not so sure bout what to do with the settings. Ive already tried connecting different ways, still didnt work

:(

It could be that you have a really slow Internet speed, and when the laptop logs on, the xbox doesn't get enough Internet and it breaks down.

have you tried to go online with your laptop off?

my internet speed is fast and the same problem still occurs even if the laptop is off, it cuts all internet from my main comp and laptop and xbox

somebody, anybody please halp :(

dont want my membership to go to waste :(

The dchp assigns a local ip address to every device connected to the router. What I believe the problem is that the router is assigning the same ip to the same devices, etc.

One way of testing this is to manually set up a reserved ip for both the laptop and the xbox. YOu will need to create a reserved ip in the router for each device, and then on both the laptop and the xbox, specify the ip addresses that you used in the router. If this works you will force the two devices onto seperate ip addresses and the net should work for both devices at the same time.

This process is different for every router and computer so I can't help you there.

I can't guarentee this is even your problem, but it may help.

Well what i was thinking was to reset all my router settings and xbox settings and start settings from scratch........

if anyone can assist me in this, i love u :D

Bump.

somebody......please..

1st of all...You're not missing much if GTAIV is all you're trying to play...but aside from that. Seek the infamous 1-800 number on the back of the router's box. Talk to those people for about 54 minutes. When they aren't able to help you. Call your ISP (internet service provider) and have them -not- help you for 1 hour and 26 minutes. Then, when you're done with that, call microsoft and tell them your problem (after waiting for about 57 minutes). Once you're done with that, you should be good to go.

EDIT: Then, once you're angry and sick of all this technology not working. Trash the router you have and go to Best Buy. Get the Dynex wireless N router for $69.99. Fumble through the junky instructions that come with it and then you'll have your elusive online play.

lol, suprising as it sounds, there aint no number on my router

and i really dont wanna talk to microsoft........from experience............

and no, gta iv isnt the only game im trying to play, halo 3 doesnt work for me either.....ever since...i hooked up ethernet cable to router, xbox live has been crapping out on me alot, and i really dont know what to do with the router settings............i am virtually begging some1 to help me :(

and do i always have to power cycle if i sucessfully connect to xbox live using ethernet cable?

(i definitely know its sometin wrong wit router settings)

pelase please anyone

well u know a good dhcp address range? currently mine is set at 100-199

is that good or bad?

do i need to make it higher? to supply for other devices using my network?

Idk. Haven't went to college for this...yet. But I'd Google the junk out of "good dhcp address range" and see what you can learn. Use this as an opportunity to expand your personal knowledge. Then you can WOW all of your friends once you figure it out ;)

lol k, well i changed it to 250....idk....lol

hope someone else can clarify on this

ok so ive set a reserved ip for my xbox, do i need to set one for my home comp???

btw thanks guys i appreciate all this alot for all ur time

Maybe you can't have more than one device using the internet at the same time. I'm not sure how to solve it though. Ghost_702

tht is prbbly the problem

lol, well im pretty sure u can cause before when i had this different setup with my internet and ethernet stuff etc, i could have everyone on the net at the same time, and the fact that i can still sign in on xbox live and stay on for a few mins with every1 connected most likely means its possible to stay on the net at the same time??

Plus, I checked out the router you have and it runs off of G technology. That's garbage. Last year's junk. Step it up to an N router and that might solve most of your problems. If that doesn't work then it's definately your modem and/or ISP. So try that, then give your internet company a call. Have em' run a speed test and email you the results. There, problem solved.Hard_Target

ok ppl everytin is seemed to be fixed, ive had no problems so far..but..i cannot accept party or game invites............and when i join a game in gta 4??im the only one in there???i fixed my halo 3 problem, had to clear cache.
