For some unknown reason, my parents let my brother and I get xbox live. Why? I don't know.
The first thing we did was go out and get the starter kit. We went to several stores, including Gamestop and EB games, and no one had it. After about 2 hours of looking, we went into Wal-Mart and found one. I could have just walked up there to get it, but no... my brother had to go to the game stores. =/
The second thing we did was order a router and ethernet cable off of eBay. After about a week of waiting, both arrived on the same day. We tried connecting it but, wait! WE GOT THE WRONG EFFING CABLE! My brother got a cross-over ethernet cable so we couldn't get it then.
The same day we ordered a straight-through ethernet cable. The delivery was delayed, and we had to wait about a week and a half to get it. We got it yesterday, fed it through the wall to the xbox, and entered our IP addresses. Now we have to configure our router, so we enter the 192.168.1.1 into our url and the thing pops up. Little did we know, we configured it wrong. We then rush down to our xbox to see if it works. Everytime we recieved the same error. DNS error. We tried hooking it up straight into the modem. We enter the PPPoE stuff. It works. We get our computers DNS Addresses.
Now, should be a nice happy ending. But it's not. I go up to the computer to enter the 192.168.1.1 number into our url. IT DOESN'T WORK! The page comes up dead, and it has since 11 Am (CT) today. It just doesn't want to load. We've tried rebooting, resetting the router, but it doesn't load.
</end of rant>
Any advice?
