    Uninstall your soft mod by putting your ms dash back on, go to network settings->ip address and set as automatic.
    the soft mod automaticly changes the ip to 192.168.0.2 or somthing similar.
    If you can still get on line with the soft mod on it usually says error modded xbox error
    witch obviously wont let you sign on.
    when you need to ad a new modded map or something just reinstall the softmod dash, and when your done transfering files just put the ms dash back on again, and repeat when needed.

    meh.. yeah.. you can't really make an 'off' switch unless you want to do some inside xbox hardware. I know; I've tried.

    ok if u have sid3 then just run splinter cell or game used to install run linux and, u should have made a ms backup, select restore ms backup and install on c: its that simple.
    If you didnt make an ms backup your screwed!
    Oh by the way i do know what im doing, ima pro!

    if you succesfuly restored your ms backup just follow these insructions if it still doesnt work explain exactly whats going on
    insructions:
    go to
    settings on the the ms dash-->network settings-->ip settings-->set to automatic-->make shure that all the settings are set to automatic.


    ((some isp's(internet service provider) require certain settings in wtch case you must call the help line, either 1-800-4-myxbox or the help line for your isp))

    5. it still said the dnsserver cannot be reached.
