I just got my xbox back from being modded and I tried to set up xbox live but it gives an error saying something about DNS.... I am using a Lynksys routre model number BEFSR41 version 2.0 with AOL high speed DSL (not cable). And on xbox.com it says that it will work with AOL DSL but not AOL Cable, anyone know whats wrong???

The DNS is and ip address that you have to put in your network settings on your xbox. Your isp should have provided a DNS number along with your ip and gateway. Live will not work corrctly until the correct DNS is put in.
WEll.... There isnt a DNS number, any other ideas

I don't know how AOL DSL works, but I have the same router and I set up everything in automatic in the box dash.
Other things you can check by going to the command prompt and input the falowing: ipconfig /all
check if your DHCP is enabled, if not, go to internet explorer and type in: 192.168.1.1 and enable DHCP (no usrename and the password should be "admin" unless you changed it) and do the same in your network config.
If you only have your PC and the xbox, unless you asign an IP address to your xbox it should be 192.168.1.101 and it should be listed in the DHCP Client table at your routers web based configuration pannel.
If AOL requires specific configurations, let me know what those settings are.
Hope you can get it to work.

Please, try to find out what firmware you have installed.
This is the way of doing it:
Open Internet Explorer and type on the address field the following: http://192.168.1.1/index.htm
Or while pressing SHIFT, click HERE
If it ask for a password, live the User field blank and on the password field enter "admin" (without the quotes)
Go to the "SETUP" tab, if you are not already there, and you should be able to see "Host Name:" "Domain Name:" and something like "Firmware Version: 1.45.7, Jul 31 2003 " those numbers are the ones I'd like to know.. I've heard there are some issues with AOL and Live, but they're fixable. Provide me with that info and I'll check it out for you while at work.
Good luck buddy
Okay it says my firmware version is 1.44.2 I hope this can be fixed

Umm... I have BEFSR41 Version 2.....
Talked to a friend today who uses AOL DSL. He says that technical support had him go to the advanced tab in the network settings of the M$ dashboard. He then had to enter the name of the AOL network. He said the name had to be perfect. I don't know exactly what the name is. After entering this, he was able to access Live.
He doesn't have a modded box neither does he have a router. He did this directly connected to his cable/dsl modem.
Hope that helps some.

sorry dude.. been away.
Let's try updating your router first.
According to what you said, yours is a BEFSR41 ver 2 so the file you need to download and update your firmware with is THIS ONE.
To update your firmware, you need to go to your web based configuration program for your Linksys.
Open Internet explorer and go to: 192.168.1.1 and search trough the tabs untill you find one that says "Update firmware" it probably is under the support tab.
Once you find it, unzip the file and browse to the location that .bin file is on the update firmware thing from you linksys. Hit the Update Firmware button. That should get it up to date. Make sure your're not downloading or uploading anything anything at that time just to make it safer.
Once the flashing is done, go back to your web based configuration page and check on the firmware version, it should say now:
Firmware Date : July 31, 2003
Current Firmware : Version 1.45.7
Ok, that's that, just try and see if you box would work updating the firmware.. if not, we'll have to keep looking for an answer. I read somebody post a similar case and offer his help... you might consider giving it a try.
Good luck, hope you get it this time
Ps: one more thing... have you tried AOL support live chat? If not, go to http://welcometoaol.mhi.aol.com/welcometoaol.asp. I recomend updating your firmware for your router anyways, just to be up to date.
