I connected my ethernet cable from my cable modem to the internet ethernet port on my router.. Then connected from one of the four LAN ports to my PC and just now connected another port to my XBOX 360 but I get error during "IP ADDRESS" has "failed".. everything is set to automatic in the xbox options..btw my router is DGL-4500...Im kinda new to routers but im pretty sure thats how it supose to work :/ btw im using WIRED connection not wireless. Also my second question is, I just got VGA cable do I need to unplug one of monitor ports to use pc/xbox? lets say now if my pc is running, i connect xbox cable and power up xbox it works fine but if i disconnect that vga ceble and plug the dvi cable back in my monitor goes black and says there is no signal and I need to reboot my PC. Is there like a way to rescan it so i dont have to do all that ? and im using viewsonic x924 and I just got GTA and cant even get online,wrrrrr

Had the exact same problem yesterday (moved a month or 2 ago, so was going to check out live again) There was no fucking way it would get DHCP. Only got 169 address and no DNS. So I went to portforward.com and found the xbox 360 live port and added it. Didn't help So I sat it up manually with Static IP and DNS. Then it worked... Still no ide why my router refuses to give my 360 IP... it even said link and blinked on act. Did a IP scan after I sat up with static IP and didn't find it.. it found my iPhone but not my 360 who is connected with a cable... WTF. And same... just using wire.

go to your mac settings on your Xbox 360 , and write your modem mac in there with the last one letter higher you know if your mac is madmmas1543123 then write madmmas1543124 but if you don't have your modems mac , then go check your mac in windows settings , go to Start>run ,write cmd , Ipconfig/all , look for your Ethernet ,then write your mac and insert it into your xbox or if you still don't get it then go here for a step by step tutorial http://kb.resnet.purdue.edu/viewarticle.php?articleid=1130&refid=4
