XBL DNS Server Not Found

Check the XBL and it does:

Find cables connected.
Resolves IP.

Then fails at finding the DNS server.

What does this mean and how can I resolve it.

The very balance of humanity and Burnout Revenge depend on your speed and knowledge.

Thank you.

give it a static ip on your network maybe? manually fill in the DNS address fields? run a friggin' name server off your computer?

Are you running through a router? I had a similar problem when my DMZ host was enabled with my router. If you aren't using a router I have no idea.

Try resetting your router. Pull the plug, put it back in.

Not though a router, directly from the Cable box to the XB.

Okay, in Tardish. I have no clue when it comes to these things. Like life, I only know how to turn them on and then get down and dirty. :(

reboot the cable modem, some of them grab the mac address from the device they were connected to and when you change the device, you cant log into the network again..

Try that also. I have to do that once in a while with my Motorola Modem.

mac address?

mac address is the unique address each individual device has hardwired into it. Just press the reset key on the modem or unplug it and let it sit for a while.
