How come when i turn my xbox on it doesn;t connect automatically. I have to manually connect it for a few minutes first. My internet on my computer will work just fine but my xbox i have to tinker with. what should i do?
I just put security on my xbox and updated my router etc. but it still doesnt connect when i turn my xbox on. what gives? My laptop works all the time, yet my xbox i have to frantically test connection until im lucky enough to connect. do i have any ways of troubleshooting this?
what do you mean by security? if you have the pass code enabled you have to enter it in to sign in. when you start your xbox up, go to your profile and click connect to xbox live, then if it asks you to put in a 4-digit pass code, thats why it won't connect straight away. if you have it enabled you'll have to put it in everytime you start your xbox up. it got so annoying for me i just disabled it. OR if you have to keep trying to 'test connection' to sign in, it could be a problem with your internet. has it always been like this? my internet is **** but it still connects everytime.I just put security on my xbox and updated my router etc. but it still doesnt connect when i turn my xbox on. what gives?

I've noticed that no one has posted on this topic since January but I've had this same issue for nearly 6 months.
When I switch on the Xbox, it states that I am disconnected to Xbox Live. When I try to connect, it ALWAYS throws up an error. I then have to go to Test Connection, sign out of my profile, run the test (which ALWAYS states that the connection is perfect), then re-sign in to my profile to get onto LIVE.
My 360 is in my routers DMZ, there are no issues with my modem/router/anything else connected to them. My PS3 signs in 100% everytime and everything in my household is on static IP addresses. I have everything WEP coded too.
Xbox Support (there's an Oxymoron!) can't find anything wrong because when the tests are run, it signs in perfectly. They are just happy to blame my ISP.
"While signed into your profile, press the guide button and go to the settings table. Go to where it says profile, and then go down to where it says Auto Sign-In."

I would have personally done this and told you how to fix it, but my little brother is playing on the Xbox since it is the weekend.
I HAVE FOUND A SOLUTION
Atleast i hope for some of you i have...i had this same issue for a couple days while trying to set up a static IP for better NAT and i found out you have to have the IP and the DNS put in manually perhaps for some sort of verfication?
EITHER WAY just go to your router page and type in the primary and secondary DNS manually under the IP setup after that it should work
P.S if you messed with anything in the advanced section....undo it put that stuff to automatic and make sure you put down the right stuff for static IP (and make sure it doesnt conflict with any other devices... recommend making the last digit 100 or something past that)
I currently have this problem, my LIVE only works after I power cycle my modem/router. It used to connect auto, but it doesn't anymore, even though my 3 computers in the house work fine.
