I Recently Got An X-Box 360 and I am trying to Hook up X-Box Live. When I try it says that it FAILED to find an IP address and I need to enter one manually. I feel stupid asking this but WHERE CAN I FIND ONE?

you are in the wrong forum, but luckily i like to browse. :) you ip address is the address of your pc. look at it this way, if you have a 56k modem you get a new "ip address" every time you get online. as far as DSL goes i dot know. and with a cable modem you typically alyways have the same "ip address" in your case though you should not have to put in your ip address manually. something is wrong. how do you have your xbox connected to the internet. give exact details so we can help you out. btw to find your ip address there are many ways. and easy one is to go to www.ipchicken.com and it will tell you in big blue letters with periods in between the numbers. those periods are just as important as the numbers so if you ever deal with an "ip address" problem again dont forget that. anyway you need to go here http://forums.afterdawn.com/forum_view.cfm/152 start a new thread and ask this question again. but give the specifics i just asked for. and if i dont get back to you someone most likely will in no time. good luck!

I would agree, knowing your set up would really help.

If you use a router then your Xbox should have everything set to automatic, and the router would assign all of the information to the 360. This is the easiest method. Some things that can stop that from happening are:
1. your router has security enabled which means you have to get the SSID name, security key, and type of security (like WEP/WPA) and input that into the 360 settings.
2. Your router needs to have the correct Xbox Live ports forwarded (got to Xbox.com and search Xbox Live Ports)
3. A firewall or security program is blocking it


If you want to try to do it all manually then do this:
1. Go to Start->Run->and type CMD and you will get the DOS command box

2. type "ipconfig/all" without the quotes and it will bring up all of your internet settings

3. Write down the following pieces of information
IP Address
Subnet Mask
Default Gateway
DNS Servers
and check that it says DHCP is enabled because DHCP is what is used for your system to automatically assign those things if you have the Xbox set up as automatic rather then manual.

Note that none of this will work if the router has security enabled (which if you are on wireless YOU SHOULD!) unless you input the correct security information into the 360
