Matt Young 0 Report post Posted December 4, 2006 So, I purchased a 360 a couple weeks ago, and now I once again have internet access. I'd like to transfer my Gamertag to my 360, but I'm having issues. The FAQs I checked out at GameFAQs and Xbox.com confused the hell out of me, so I was hoping one of you might be able to help out. As of right now, only the internet connection has been verified. The system cannot detect an IP address, and even when I input the one used by the computer itself, I get nothing. I may be overlooking something simple, but I am fairly uneducated when it comes to these things. Oh, and the system is hooked directly to the modem (I have Verizon DSL, if it matters) with no router. I don't know where to even start, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With a router, you could input the PPOE info to the router and not worry about it with anything else you hook up. Besides that, turn off your XBOX, unplug the modem from the power, count to 10, plug it back in and when the lights are back to normal, power up the XBOX.

Guest Princess Leena Report post Posted December 5, 2006 It is worth it. Especially since the usual other programs you can put on your XBox don't support PPPOE. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
