Ever since I bought this 360 I have constant issues staying connected to Xbox Live, does anyone have any tips that I might not know about?
I know my internet connection is fine. I've had ATT DSL installed here for over a year, and I can download from fast ftp sites at 2.7MB/sec at any time (my modems cap rate), so my connection rate and also line noise is fine because I've checked. I never have any disconnection/outage issues related to this service, except when the power goes out, so it is something with my Xbox or the service keeps terminating my connection for some reason.
I don't know if it is this 2WIRE modem from ATT that I have to use or what. I have the Xbox service port forwarded to my IP of my Xbox I'm using in the simple 2WIRE firewall menu, so ports 88 and 3074 are open like the docs say, and I'm using an ethernet cable, no wireless. If I didn't have to use this damn 2WIRE modem I could try and sniff the connection to see what is happening but I can't...
I know I can connect because it will sign in, show my friends and then terminate right away, or work for a few mins (or hours) and let me browse content then the damn thing will cut out again, it is all random. Like right now it has killed me about 5 times and I can't even download a full game demo before it kicks me off. Last time there was an Xbox update I had to try like 15 times to get the download to complete and get the update installed because it just disconnects at random times.
Any ideas because this is pissing me off!! I'm not going to pay 60$ a year if this crap keeps happening.
