              I'm assuming you have already reset the modem and router with no success.

              If it's at all possible try to do a direct connect.(wired Connection)

                  Ok, well I didn't check the link, so I don't know what it contains, but here is my advice.

                  First, change your wireless channel, you may be getting intereference.

                  Didn't work? Then forward the correct ports.

                  Still not working? Then (If you feel comfortable with this) lower your firewall before you try to connect. If it still doesn't then that means it isn't your firewall.


                  It could also be something as simple as getting a better signal. What is your signal strength?

                    Everything is working fine, it just waont pass the IP address test for some odd reason. Ill have a cable shortly.

                      Is this new, or was this working previously and suddenly stopped working?

                      If it was working previously and now stopped working, have you messed with anything else lately? Firewall/router?

                      If it's all new I'd guess somewhere in your router/firewall you've got something going on, but not sure...I haven't dealt with the 360 on wireless, and my PS3/Wii just connected easily (as did my laptop).

                        if you're failing the IP test, it means that something in your setup, the router or ISP, is keeping the xbox from getting an ip address assigned to it.

                        what does Live tell you in the more info box after it fails? It'll tell you if it's having an ip address conflict or that you need to activate DHCP.

                          Nothing seems to be working. it's telling me its an IP thing, not DHCP

                          It worked at my old house, but that was wired.
