My 360 drops my internet connection??? please help.

[Rawdeal28]

so for like the past 4-5 days, almost everytime i turn on my my 360 i cant get on to Live because my connection drops. my connection would be fine but as i try to connect to Live my computer suddenly says "you have limited to no connectivity".

at first i thought it was just the cable i was using because i switched it and it worked fine for a while. now its back to the same thing. the xbox says it has a conflict with the IP address sometimes and other times it says no signal from router or modem but the lights on the modem are fine. yes i am using a router and both ps3 and 360 are wired and my ps3 usually connnects fine. what gives?

Did you set the IP address on the xbox statically or DHCP?

it depends on your router setup. Default is usually 192.168.1.245 or 192.168.1.0 or 192.168.1.1. If your computer can get on the internet goto START.. RUN.. (type) CMD (hit OK) then at the command prompt type IPCONFIG (enter) and you will see your IP address. If its a 192 address then put 192.168.1.70 or something in your XBOX address.

example;
IP ADDRESS=192.168.1.70
SUBNET=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY=192.168.1.254 (this equals your routers address)
