PC techniical help urgently needed.

I want to sign up to the XBOX live service but it wont auto configure so i have to do it manually. It wants to know my gateway, subnet mask and dns server adress. How do i find out what they are. If it helps i am on blueyonder broadband. PLEASE help me []

Eeem, since when is XBOX a PC? []

I thought those settings are needed for LANs, for dialup you dont usually need them, can leave them empty [?]

XBOX have gone online now for gaming but you use your existing broadband connection which plugs into the back of the box. Its meant to configure itself automatically but it doesnt! Blueyonder uses a LAN connection.

If you also have a windows pc on this connection you can find out it's settings and then turn off the pc and connect the XBOX.

TO find the pc's settings from the start>run menu type in winipcfg it will tell you your settings. Turn off the pc then put the settings into the XBOX. when doen be sure to turn off or unplug the XBOX or the PC won't connect.

It sounds like the netowrk you are on does not provide DHCP.

I'll catcha in there soon, my PC gets BB this week, should be up and running Saturday - any recommendations for online games?

Moto GP is quite good, but I guess Unreal has got to be the best, especially if you got loads of mates playing.

I love playing whacked. For a £20 new game its well worth it. Single player is not great but multiplayer is the best. Still lots more to try yet.
