Error: Your DNS server can't resolve Xbox LIVE
I hate this, I really hate this. Ive spent 6hours trying to solve this i have phoned xbox they told me to ring plus net , i rang plus net they say ring xbox because they cant help.
Ok From the Top. I need 2 DNS server so i type in start - cmd - ipconfig/all
this is what i get :
DNS SERVERS ....................:192.168.1.254
NetBIOS over Tcpip ..............:Enabled
No sign of a second DNS sever.
When i spoke to PN they told me my DNS severs are
212.159.13.49
212.159.13.50
great thats two so i enter Xbox network config and entered it manually.Nothing. try automatic. Nothing.
So then off to Thomson gatway which tells me my DNS servers are :
Primary DNS: 212.159.6.9
Secondary DNS: 212.159.6.10
now im confused?? So back to xbox : --
Manual/auto both errors come up. (in the mean time im reseting router turning xbox on and off ect nothing seems to work.
Ive downloaded the latest drives for the router
Product Name: TG585 v8
Serial Number: CP1028TFGCM
Software Release: 8.2.7.8
Software Variant: DA
Boot Loader Version: 1.0.6
Product Code: 3666387A
Board Name: IANT-E
Again nothing.

Kind regards

212.159.6.9
212.159.6.10
From reading other threads I understand that
212.159.13.49
212.159.13.50
are pseudonyms for
212.159.6.9
212.159.6.10
So as far as I'm concerned so far no errors.
Now, the errors your getting on your XBox, can you tell us what it ACTUALLY says in these errors? We might be able to help you if you do.

Anyone have any ideas? Is it a problem with PlusNet's DNS servers? - Solution: PN, please update these.
Is it the router? - Solution: PN, please advise.
Pretty sure it's not the XBox but willing to test if anyone can advise how.
I last connected the XBox to Live rather a while ago on an old router with Ethernet, have now moved it and am using a new official XBox wireless adaptor - connects perfectly to the router (or so it reports). With my old router it all worked just fine but that was months (or more) ago.
Any help please, my son is getting very ratty because he can't connect to Live with his latest game and says if he can't connect then the game was a waste of his money.
I think I may have spotted similat posts before but cannot pick them out now using the Forum Search so sorry if this repeats similar questions from others.
I too might try the Google DNS addresses as Rojam was advised but should these be entered in the router or the XBox?

could you let us know if the ethernet 'solves' the problem please?
Thanks.

This may, or may not, relate to the other discussion where there seems to be a DNS problem with this router model (or the PN DNS servers?) http://community.plus.net/forum/index.php/topic,92451.16.html.
Buying something to solve a problem does not confirm that the problem is solved and I don't want to go and purchase a 15m ethernet cable and route it through my house.
The XBox, the official wireless adaptor, the router and the DNS servers should work together and anyone using it should be able to connect a Microsoft XBox 360 to XBox LIVE unless there is a fault somewhere.
In my case the Thomson gives an otherwise excellent connection (well over 8000 sync on a line that BT estimates is good for 3.5Mbit, 7150 line profile, 12-13ms pings, no speed degradation over time - with various previous routers I have typically only been able to sustain a stable 6000-6500 profile so I'd really like to keep using this router.

I suspect its a fault with Thompsons.
But I use Netgear so I cannot investigate it myself.
