when i download the soft mods they work perfectly however when i put a game in i cannot connect to xbox live. ive messed around with the settings but it still wont work. help?
Hey there. Go to your new dashboard and go to system configuration/system settings and turn static IP OFF. Then scroll the bottom and save it. Ok, now go to the Microsoft dashboard by pressing eject to boot up the xbox. SOFTMOD - EJECT = RETAIL. It should take you to the - "Xbox Live management screen" and go on Network Setup. Go to IP addresses and set it to automatic. Now go to DNS servers and set it to automatic. Now go to PPOE settings and turn it off. Then go to advanced and make sure all 3 boxes are empty. Now it will try to auto connect and if it says successful, you can now get back on live But I really do hope that you set the softmod to dual boot EJECT = RETAIL. So that when you start the xbox up by pressing the eject button it will take you to the xbox live management screen. If you cannot access your Microsoft dashboard "Xbox Live management" screen by pressing eject, then I will have to tell you how to uninstall your softmod and re-install it properly. Let me know how it goes. -Mike
ok sometimes it lets me got to the ms dashboard but it says everything is connected and then other times it wont. even though it says its all connected to xbox live when i put a game in it says its not working.
Does your Xbox bring up the "Xbox Live Management" Screen when you start up your xbox by pressing eject? -Mike
