    ok so i bought a modded xbox from a kid who lives like an hour from me, i know the xbox works and it plays burnt games, when it boots up, shows blue xbox logo, and goes to evoX dashboard... when i try to go on xbox live it doesnt let me, and it says check cables, but it shows the cables are connected... i have my modem plugged into my router and my pc is too, i can get internet here and can FTP to my xbox... but i cant get on xbox live, i dont know if it is the modchip stopping me? or if it is my router... i have port forwarding on my router turned on and stuff, but yeah, i think it might just be the modchip not allowing xbox live connection... any tips? anything would be appreciated... Thanks in advance, -mike

    PS - i know how to use FTP and such, i put xsnes9x on there and dvd2xbox myself, so FTP is ez. and i figured out how to backup games myself. Thanks again, mike

    make sure your ip settings are set to DHCP instead of static to give you an automatic ip adress

    Can you log on with the mod chip disabled? My friend's Xecuter 2.6 CE prevented the use of Xbox Live whenever it was enabled.
