Right, I'm house-sitting at a friends place, luckly there is a 360 but it isn't networked so no Live for me.

There is a router here, with 4 network ports that has a Mac Airport plugged into it.

When I plug my laptop into the router directly it connects fine and I can go on the interspaz. I've tried plugging the Xbox into the router and it says it is having trouble negotiating a lease with the DHCP server.

Anyone got any advice? I've tried manually setting up the IP address and all that malarky with the right gateway but that doesn't work either. I suspect it could be a problem with the router but I don't know the password to get into the settings and surely if it was a problem the laptop wouldn't be able to negotiate a lease either?

erk could be a number of things, what router is it? Also have you tried plugging in the 360 without your laptop just in case the number of connections have been limited (Reboot router/360).

Ta for the help, they have GRAW and I'm dying to try it online.

It's a Netgear router, I've rebooted it and the 360 (trying one first than the other) I'll try the one connection thing now.

No joy.
