    Recently, my Xbox 360 Slim has had problems connecting to Xbox Live
    When I go to test the network, a red X comes over the gap between the Xbox and the Network
    There was a thunderstorm before this started but there was no lightning near us
    Does anyone have any ideas with regards what the problem is?

    Could be a load of things. Best first step is the simple test of turn everything off (this includes your router/network equipment), plug everything out and give it a few minutes. Then hook it all back and see where we're at.

    I completely forgot to mention my set-up.
    I've got the Xbox hooked up to the modem on my laptop with ICS and an Ethernet cable.
    Have tried several times, even with another laptop, but to no avail.
    I suspect that the Ethernet port is fried but wouldn't want to send it off to Microsoft for nothing.
    Anyone out there able to help?

    ICS is a pig to get working right, I would doubt its the Ethernet port, probably a configuration issue

    Are you using a cross over cable or regular cat5 cable that come with most routers?

    The Xbox should work with both
