Are you sure your membership has been activated properly?

When did you do it? I'm not sure if it takes some time for Xbox to process it.

The only time I have ever had that fail is if the actual LIVE feature is down, but having said that, they usually give you a couple of days notice.

Hmmm, not sure what it could be then, I left mines untouched for almost 2months earlier in the year and I had no problems when I went back to it..

The only thing I can think of is that they are doing some sort of maintenance on it. Can't get onto the xbox.com from here though, does it say anything on there?

No not yet, x box live is a pain in the arse, we should be getting at least a months free membership for the amount of times it goes off.

Does this happen regularly with you?

Perhaps it might be a buggered wireless thing?

Mines is working fine for now..

Look them up on Google (should have been your first option to be honest) and check your router isnt playing silly buggers.
If Live was down you would have the whole tinternet crying about it on every forum in the world lol

First thing i did, no much info on my error codes, virgin media are absolute crap, the girl on the phone said she couldnt reset my broadband line when they blatantly can. If it doesnt work tonight its going out the window.

Try the card details on your membership. Mine went pear shaped because the card was out of date even though i wasn't up for renewal

My membership says everything is fine, my card isnt due for renewal until next year. Very odd this especially as neither my service provider or microsoft have been of any help.

Toenheel, can you get in at all though as mine does not even allow me into xbox live full stop, it could be as I activated the free silver membership with gold for a month so it closed my account ? which ran out a couple of weeks ago but since then I have got a gold membership for the year but I cant access xbox live to even activate it ???

Is that the same as you ? do you have to manually enter your IP address etc as I know my WPA key and Username are correct ?

I turned off all my security etc and it just wont connect. Goes through all the network tests and is confirmed until it goes onto x box live then it fails.
