IT Question
Open to anyone -
How do you find an IP address? My Xbox Live is playing up, and it says 'My Gateway address is invalid. please check your IP address'
Thing is, I have no idea where I would find it.
Anyone help?

Is your XBox plugged into a Router, and do you also have a PC plugged into the Router for internet access?
If so click start, choose run. in the run box type command and then click OK.
Now in the black dos-prompt window type ipconfig and press enter.
it will now show you your PC's IP address, Subnet mask and gateway. The gateawy address your X-Box uses will be the same as your PC.

to be honest it'll be worth getting the wireless bundle coz its only £10 more ... and you can turn off the wireless part if you want...
you'll need the microsoft xbox360 usb dongle to wireless your xbox aswell though , and thats £60 ... the xbox will work thru the lan ports if your skint after buying the ADSL router....
Make sure you get a "ADSL Router " (or ADSL2 or whatever)
'routers' (on their own) dont usually have modems in them ... they just route the signals . 'ADSL Routers' have and do both ...
