Xbox Live Issue

andyman

Right, I got myself an Xbox 360 for Christmas and I'm have a problem setting up Xbox Live.

Basically whenever I do a connection test, it goes fine. Then I'm told that I have to install a console update from Xbox Live in order to access it. I select the "Yes" option. Then the update status comes up and it fills the first little bit, and nothing else. Then it tells me that the update has failed and unable to download it.

Anyone have any ideas as to what the problem is?

Set your firewall in your router menu to medium of low,mine is set to low.

Any chance you can tell me how to get to the Router Menu? I'm on Vista btw and using the Wireless bridge

Ffs, now I have another issue.

How do I go about getting my free months Gold membership? I can get as far as redeem code but can't find the free option anywhere

As far as I remember, I just created an account, typed in my GT and I received it.

I wasn't even looking for it, I only wanted a silver account but after it was created, it gave it to me. You don't have a choice.

Hi, Just go ahead and set up a Silver account, it will then give you a " special offer " of a 30-day free gold membership trial.

type 192.168.1.254 into the adress bar, then go to firewall and set it to low, everything should be good to go then
