Xbox Live Rebooting The Console...?

[Quall999]

You didn't mess with the MS dashboard or anthing right?

Not that I know of.. I had to use a backup of my E drive though.. Shuffling files around or something I lost my game saves.. they were recovered.. When I went back though my Live profiles were gone.. I recovered them (manually) and everything seems to be alright.. I dunno.. Something had to have gotten screwed with the files..

I think I'm just going to buy a used console as cheap as I can. Leave it unmod'd for xbox live.. The ony reason it matters is i'm already stuck paying for the subscription.. 2.. Halo2.. So yea when it gets toward that time i'm just gonna pick up another and hope my live account takes on it.

When you say you recovered them manually, you meant by using the "account recovery" feature in the dashboard?

Does your router have a built in firewall?

[Neipas02]

Yes I do believe so.. Maybe I should add the mac address of the box to the list of accepted ones eh.. (is an idiot).. I'll give that a shot.. but I would think it would've given me an error message instead of rebooting like that..

And yea quall.. Had to use the account recovery on the dash.

Apparently I wasn't as forgetful as i'd thought.. I'd already worked the xbox mac address and IP into the router firewall.. unless i'm doing something wrong.. not much experience in dealing with routers.. anyway I think i'm gonna give up.. I think its more of an xbox problem rather than networking.
