Now as most of you know, this is not the type of post you usually expect from me. The truth is, I have a problem and I need some help.
As the screen shot above illustrates, this is a test for your Xbox Live connection using a wireless network adapter. The fourth option down is called the DNS test. When I test my wireless connection, the network adapter, wireless network, and IP address all check out fine. The problem I have is that the darn DNS test keeps failing.
I have one idea of what it could be, let’s hope I’m right. Maybe the type of router I have is not compatible with Xbox Live, or at least not this version of it. When I checked on the Xbox.com website the other day, it told that me that versions 2, 3, and 4 of Linksys routers are compatible. I found out that I have version 6 of this router, with the same model number (WRT54G), but no Xbox Live connection.
So as you can already tell, this is a situation that stresses me out. So before I buy a new router, I thought I’d extend my plea to this great community of XBL Radio (and now Platform Nation) to see if any gamer out there can help me out. Leave me a comment if you have some idea of what to do, I’d certainly appreciate it.
Here is Xbox.com’s solution. See if it makes sense… http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/live/con-power.htm
Thanks gamers, I appreciate your help and I’ll see you again, right here, next week with a news story.
Take Care, B4
