why can't the modem on my Xbox 360 pick up my IP Address?

I'm starting to get really frustrated. It tells me the connection is working and all the computers are working, but my Xbox 360 can't get the IP Address.

IP Address is set to "Automatic" setting.

Any help is appreciated.

Yeah. that happens to me sometimes. I only have a modem thats it and I just move that back and forth between my computer and 360.

Well anyways the problem wears off over time. I just reset my system a couple of times and it works. That may not be the same case though. Sorry if it's not.

Try connecting your Xbox directly to your computer with a cable so it can identify some sort of IP Address without a wireless connection. Then see if it will work with the wireless connection.

Usually it happens to me when I lose connection, I do the same thing you do and it works.

Since you have a 360, do you know when you test your xbox live connection? Usually, when it is searching for a Wireless connection and finds it, it either goes "Connected" under wireless connection and "Connected" or "Failed" under IP. The point is, the "Connected" "Connected", etc. both go up at the same time instead this time it says the wireless is connected and waits about 20 seconds for it to say "Failed" under IP Address. If you have any idea what I'm talking about, do you thing that contributes to the problem?

I would have done that ages ago if my computer was close enough, but its not

Thanks for the help though

Whenever that happens tome, i unplug the cable from the 360, turn the modem right off, plug it all back in again and restart and it works.
