devil_angel Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 not necessarily , sometimes they just flash if your cables are not connected properly, but if they are flashing if everything is connected fine, then its sign of trouble If all 4 quadrants flash, then the cable connection is improper. In this case.....death might be awaiting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CescFabregas Posted August 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 Hmmm.. Probably a connection issue, yes! How about a loud noise while at the dashboard that sounds like "keeeeeiiingg" and then the console has to be restarted to see that it is working just fine? Is it a sign of trouble?

godspeed4476 Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 is there any disc inside the console when you start it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madhav Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Sometimes random electrical fluctuations also result into this... But, if Xbox keeps freezing along with RROD, then its trouble!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Assassin Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 My first 360 lasted around 9 months.Second one is still working flawlessly since 15 months despite playing 12 straight hrs for many days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CescFabregas Posted August 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 Just a small doubt guys.. I'm trying to connect my console to Xbox LIVE using an Ethernet cable. My PC and console are in different rooms and so I tried taking my modem alone to the room where I have my console and inserted the Ethernet cable and tried testing the network but it says network connection failed. How should I go about this? P.S: I don't have a wireless router nor do I have a wi-fi adapter for the Xbox. Oh and BTW, I have a BSNL connection(I know it sucks, but what to do?!)

CescFabregas Posted August 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 Enter the network settings manually.Then see whether it works. I tried that as well! I entered the details of my connection such as user ID, password and then entered the same IP address it generated in the manual setting and after testing it that way, even the Network won't configure! If I do it with Automatic and clear out all the details of my connection, the network configures but the Internet connection fails! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choron ka raja Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Does th connection fails at second or third step? Also, when network test fails, it shows a popup, with option to see more info. What is the error displayed there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CescFabregas Posted August 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Connection to network shows status as success. The connection to the Internet is a failure and the error message was something like "could not resolve DNS...blah blah" (Not sure of the exact error message but I'm sure I saw this) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Try using Open DNS and write it down manually in Your xbox and the router or modem or whatevah it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choron ka raja Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Which ISP are you using? Reading comprehension fail. @Cescfabregas What is the IP and DNS server address picked up by your console, in automatic settings? Oh, and model no. of router? Also, try to search for MS help docs for DNS error. They have a full document describing possible reasons, and how to solve them. here you go. https://support.xbox.com/support/en/us/nxe/kb.aspx?ID=978847 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CescFabregas Posted August 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Which ISP are you using? It's a connection for the retards, by the retards and of the retards... It's fcuking BSNL! @Cescfabregas What is the IP and DNS server address picked up by your console, in automatic settings? Oh, and model no. of router? Also, try to search for MS help docs for DNS error. They have a full document describing possible reasons, and how to solve them. Ummm.. I tried connecting the modem direct to the Xbox and not through a router. In the automatic detection settings, the IP address generated was 192.168.1.1 and Default Gateway was 255.255.255.0 Whoops! I didn't check anything on the DNS! My bad... Now, is that absolutely necessary? BTW, one basic doubt. I don't have my computer connected to the modem while I attempt this Xbox - modem connection and also, in my PC, the connection to the Internet is done via a dialer and it is not in the "always on" mode. Does that affect the situation? And thanks for that link! Will check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
