Xbox in residence
Hey I recently brought my xbox to my residence and when i connect it to the port in my room and run the network test it says that it can not connect to the network.

Is this a known problem with an easy fix? Or does anyone have any experience in dealing with xboxs on campus?

Thanks.

I know there was a website I had to go to (a McMaster website) where I filled out the information about my Xbox and within a day I was able to play on Live, I tried looking for it, but no luck so far.

I'll keep you posted.

Here's the link, though I think it's offline for the moment. Pretty straightforward.
