hi, ive just connected my xbox 360 to my pc and ive just tried to sign up it keeps sayin my IP address is failling. It suggests it is because ther is another network with the same IP, please help....

Are you really connecting it to your PC or to your modem / router?

To change the IP address of the 360, go to the dashboard, go to the System tab, choose Network Settings, then Edit Settings, then Basic Settings. Edit the basic settings and set the IP to manual, if it's not already. Change the IP, but only the last set of numbers. If the IP address is192.168.1.35, change the 35 to anything from 1 to 255 (I think you can use 0 as well, but I'm not sure). As you've already found out, it'll need to be different to any other device on your network including routers, ADSL modem, laptops etc, etc....

If you need more info, post back in this thread. I set up my 360 at home, but I had quite a lot of difficulty getting it to work 100% (mainly with Halo2 and all to do with NAT errors). Good luck!

you need to change the 360 settings to automatic NOT manual.this way it will find its own unique ip number and will not clash with your network.

if you are using manual settings,the chances are that ip numbers have been duplicated.
