hi all!
i have a pc wirelessly connected to a router and my xbox 360 plugged into my pc. i have been playting online etc with no problems for a while now. but suddenly my xbox wont connect. it tells me it cant get an ip address. but i dont think i changed anything..

my pc has a static ip but xbox is on auto (no luck if i set it up manually)

is it the lan network info that i need to change? i have setup various ips with no luck (if i set up a static network on the lan then (weirdly) azueous stops working...

any ideas what i can try? could it be norton i installed recently? (i checked but couldnt find any reason)

any help is greatly appreciated! i want the prey demo!

thanks in advance

Well, this could be a couple things with a few solutions. It is possible that your XBOX wasn't connecting because it was trying to access the static IP assigned to your PC (I doubt it but maybe). You could try making the XBOX static as well.

If possible, I'd recommend connecting everything to your router with DHCP enabled or static ip's (doesn't matter) and that should fix everything. But I'm assuming you're using wireless for your PC because it's too far from your router. I'd recommend changing that setup if possible.

What I think the major problem is...I don't recommend Norton for anyone.
As a matter of fact, Norton and Zone Alarm are two of the most conflicting protection applications I know of. For anti-virus, you might wanna go with Bit Defender or even AVG. I prefer BitDefender.
You can read an article I pieced together on virus related software and some other stuff HERE: http://www.xtreme-source.com/showthread.php?t=1392
I know you said you just installed Norton so if these issues have occurred since that installation, I'd look at Norton as the culprit.

Those areas are where I'd troubleshoot first. Hope the above gives you some insight. The link I provided give a lot of info and near the end it links to another article rating various virus software...you may find it useful as well.
