How to get on Xbox Live with Dialup

Step 6 Whatcha don't need to comment about

If you're reading this saying to yourself, "Self, this is useless", or "Self, these guys need to get off their n00b-asses and pay for highspeed", please refrain from commenting. This is for the people who for one reason or another cannot access highspeed internet, yet wish to update their console or get some XBLA games. It's hard enough for a 56K pimp without people trash-talking.

So if you thought this was useful or have questions, don't refrain from commenting, or adding me to your Live friends list. If the photo didn't tip you off, my GT is Radical Jake.

[Jran Sakarra]

This is really great. I live 4 miles from high spped for like 6 years and they won't bring it down here. I have played on Halo 3 and it runs fine no lagg at all. I seem to die less too... XD

[BlackCloud]

Probably because you're lagging like crazy on everyone elses connection.

[Jran Sakarra]

I should correct those last two parts. After a few updates and the new maps I would lag around like crazy and DC everyone in awhile. I still do nto have DSL at that house, so I moved.

[ineedgoodinternet]

what kind of dial up u use because i use netzero and it lags like crazy

[badboynick7]

i use videotron

[flynryan808]

so this allows you to play halo 3 online

[Upsillymana]

[halo wardog]

[lsg hugekiten]

im bout half that..i have 21.6k speed.i am an amazing halo 3 fan and i wondered how much it would lag for halo...because im lik ethe only person in my area that has dial-up..all my friends have live and i wanna play soooo bad....any idea how much it would lag..

[BlackCloud]

It'd be unplayable. I wouldn't waste your money on a gold account you won't be able to use.

[D34th 4n6el]

not tryin to be smart, but ive been doin this for a couple of years and i do it on xp. I live out in the boonies and i did this on 24k dial-up and halo 3 runs fine, it may have a little of lag every once and awile. I can download about 50mb every 7 hrs lol it sucks but it is also kinda cool.

[badboynick7]

same here i live in the middle of no where, i can only get 24.6kps and halo 3 doesnt lag that much

[!#]

is that 24kbps upload or download speed?

[badboynick7]

24kbps upload speed

[123marco]

my xbox wont download the nessesary update for live

[badboynick7]

i tried it over and over again on my xp, but when i tried it on my moms vista laptop and it worked the first time. i think it worked because the vista was new and didn't already have a network on it. when i played halo 3 it lagged some of the times but it still was better then nothing. the only thing is that i only have a memory card and to play halo online you have to download a map pack which takes forever and plus i dont have enough memory.

[sonic hot dog]

please can you tell me how to get xbox live on dail up. i know that you have a full gide on how to do it but it still wont work. the MTU keeps on failing can you help please im beging you

[jordie21]

i tried this and when i test the xbox live it say the network adapter is wired but the ip adress always fails.... what can i do to fix this any ideas

[MrSegraves]

I had this problem where my computer kept flagging it with the firewall when it checked the IP. Simply turning off the firewall worked, and it is updating my system as I type this.

[Electricdreamer21]

Ok, if you hook any thing up to that eithernet cable it will say it's wired so what you need to do is go to your internet connection and then click on Properties then click in sharing then click allow other users to connect to the network and then you should be up and haveing Fun if Not let me know.

[badboynick7]

i tried over and over again, but it still says my dns server failed. when i go to the settings it show my primary dns server but not my second. any help i would like to start playing halo 3 online.

[badboynick7]

i tried using my xp over and over again, but i tried on a vista laptop and it worked the first time, playing halo 3 with with lag about 10% of the time not bad, better then nothing.

[Prototype1237]

my MTU wont pass please someone help me i need live im using a laptop and windows vista help,gracias

[ThePorgemeister]

YES I will try this as soon as I hook up the phone line in my basement. My friend always makes fun of me for not hazzing the faster internets, but I would get him with my HDTV. Some people say you can do Halo 3 w/out lag, I will try it with a 48hr code (after I get my gold lancer and hammerburst, hehehe!) I guess I can help my friend so he doesn't feel to bad by telling him how to get Xbox Live over a laptop. Sorry this comment is so long to everyone who reads it... but thanks!!

[DemoSquid93]

does this work on the original xbox console?

[badboynick7]

how do you think i feel i only get 24.6kps thats like half speed of normal

[badboynick7]

Whatcha do with your Vista PC XP (and older) users, skip this one, the last step was for you. So, you wanna get on Live, but you have a Vista PC. For some dumb reason, Microsoft took out the connection wizard that older versions of Windows have. Don't fret, you can still has your Livez, but you'll need to manually do what the connection wizard does. I'm going to list what I think worked for me, as I just did a bunch of crap until it worked. If one of the Vista users could comment back and tell me if I'm right/wrong, I'll correct as needed or edit out this "crapshoot" sentence. First, you'll need to give your Ethernet connection an I.P. address, then you'll tell Vista to share the dial-up connection to any PC/360 plugged into your network. You'll need administrative rights to do this. Note that if you have any type of pre-existing network set up, you might mess up a connection to it if your IP wasn't manually assigned to begin with. Right, let's begin. Start by opening Control Panel and clicking "Classic View" on the side panel to keep things simple. Open "Network and Sharing Center", and click "Manage Network Connections" in the sidebar. This will be the window where you'll do everything. You should see the your dial-up connection and the Local Area Connection listed. Right-click the LAN connection icon and click on "Properties". Highlight "Internet Protocol version 4" and click on the Properties button. Check the "Use the following I.P. Address", and type one in (if there isn't one beforehand, and you weren't connected to any LAN networks, use 192.168.0.1 . It's just a simple one to use). Type in a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 if it doesn't fill in automatically. Leave the Gateway box and DNS fields blank, and click OK. Back in the Network Connections window, right-click your Dial-up connection, click Properties, go to the Sharing tab, and check "Allow other network users to connect through this PC." That should be all you need to do. Again, comment if this works/or doesn't.

[badboynick7]

it says that my dns server failed any help with that please

[flary10]

I can't see step three can someone post it or send it to me please and thank you Ps. this is only 1 its allowing me to post on

[jeffman]

i'm trying the same thing with my PS3, but it doesn't seem to be working. The connection test always fails and says a connection could not be established. I also have Vista. I used the Ethernet cable that came with the PS3,. Am I doing something wrong, or will this simply not work, even though there seem to be Youtube videos indicating it does?
