So I have 8 months of free X-box live cards (You know the ones that come inside certain popular games) and I was trying to set it up yesterday. I have a Motorola SB4100 Cable "Surfboard" Modem and a Medion CPU (Not sure which). I tried hooking X-Box live up last night and I did the direct connection setup (As I have no Router ). I got a DNS Error. I tried power-cycling my modem and what not. After no avail I called my cousin. He told me that he had the same error and he couldint fix it and so he went out and bought a router. I really dont want to buy a router but I do want to play X-box live. Is there anything else that can be done? Has anyone else had this problem? Also: Is there a way with a Modem and a CPU that I can play without a direct connection because I would like the hae internet acces on my CPU while I play X-Box. Thanks, /,,/ Rock on!
I have a Motorola SB4100 Cable "Surfboard" Modem Have you checked if this Cable Modem is XBL Compatiable? Is your ISP, Comcast? I had to go out and buy a $60 router (D-Link DI-604). If you have no other choice, get that router. Surely, once you hooked up your Modem then it should work. BTW, try going to http://www.xbox.com/support.
I would like the hae internet acces on my CPU while I play X-Box. I believe that is what a router is for.

I already tried that link and it didint help MarcusP2 posted on 4/8/05 7:02amI would like the hae internet acces on my CPU while I play X-Box.

Dude, just buy a router and you' ll be connected in no time. BTW, as for the other link provided... try asking here (http://forums.xbox.com/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=29) surely, someone there will answer your question.
Sadly enough I don't have any money to buy a cheep (30$) router. And if I did get a router I would want a more expencive router with more stuffs to do. Is there no way to fix the DNS problme with my modem? /,,/ Rock on!
I am just going to get the router instead of screwing with it anymore. What type should I get if the primary funtcion is to use Xbox Live? /,,/ Rock on!
Get the one that I suggested... If that doesnt work for some reason, then return it for another model. I know Xbox.coms website has a listing of routers that you can use for XBL. The one that I suggested to you works.

I have had problems with there products in the past so I was thinking a Linksys router. And just wondering: Is XBC "Legal"? Edit: What is the diffrence betwen a switch and a router? /,,/ Rock on!/>/>
And just wondering: Is XBC "Legal"? Yes and No... Microsoft knows about XBC, but hasnt done anything about it. I used to to use that for Halo. Edit: What is the diffrence betwen a switch and a router? You want a Router...

Is XBC safe? Id say so... But, im not so sure on the Switch since Microsofts website says nothing about using a switch for XBL. But to be safe, id rather go with the router.
