Anyone know of common problems when trying to hook up to xbox live?

My son has an xbox 360 and he is trying to get on "live", but is having IP address problems. We got Cox high speed and a Motorolla Surfboard sb5101. He's checked the Cox site and the xbox site and hasn't been able to get it.

My ex had a similar problem. Reset the router with the little pin prick sized hole and things should work fine. If not I've no idea.

Anyways :D Super Mario Galaxy is absolutely amazing. 10/10 game for sure. Not yet beaten it but I can't see it dropping in quality anytime soon. Pure fucking fun.

I've also started a new file on FF8 because I want to see the Rinoa/Squall in space scene :( It is such a sad scene. Far more so then when Aeris dies in 7.

For the record, 8 >>>>>>>>>>>>> 7
 
Although I have never played a FF I keep hearing from reputable sources that 7 is pretty much garbage compared to what the pinnacle of the series can offer.
 
Yeah, the problem with seven is that it was the first one that many people played and also the first 3D game in the series so that combination made it sell extremely well and got tons of unwarranted praise for itself.

It isn't an awful game but compared to 6, Tactics, 8, 9, 4, and 1 it just doesn't hold up.
 
I actually think FFVII is now underrated because there's been such a backlash against it. It's a great game. It might not be the best in the series, but it is not by any means "garbage" compared to the other games in the series.

Nah, I know plenty of people who still rate it as the 'best game ever.' It isn't underrated in any way. It really is garbage compared to the other games, it had shit graphics (even for its time there were other 3D games that looked so much better), had a horrible story (okay, so did the first three but those don't need a good story), and some of the worst characters in the series (10 onwards don't count.)
 
Does anyone here still play Starcraft? I saw the battle chest cheap but am unsure whether I should get it based on the assumption that hardly anyone would play it nowadays.
 
I watched "28 Days Later" the other day & it got me in the mood to pull out "Resident Evil 4" the other day. "RE4" is such a bad ass game. I think it's gotta be in my top 20 of all time, which is great considering I bought it at a time I was not really playing games much.
 
So I bought the Orange Box yesterday and have been playing Portal for some time(no work on Friday, yay!) and it's pretty awesome and cleverly designed puzzle game. Love it.

It is played a lot actually.

I got a Wii for Christmas and I bought Super Mario Galaxy. I'm waiting for SSB Brawl to come out.
 
I don't like that game very much. My brother claims to have not liked it much either, yet he went and got all 120 stars and is in the middle of replaying the whole thing as Luigi.

I've been mostly Wii sports whoring it the past few days so I haven't played it much.
 
Star Ocean 2 is easily the best I'd say.

and yeah I'm pretty much never going to admit otherwise in regards to 8 being better than 7.

FF6 = FF8 > FFT > FF12 = FF9 > FF4 > FF1 > FF5 > FF7 > FF2 > FF10 > 10-2

and I just beat Super Mario Galaxy :D Which means I'm going to start a playthrough of FF6 now or 8 I don't know yet.
