IP address - automatic

System area of the Xbox dashboard dashboard and click on Edit Settings
7. MTU test failed
First of all make sure that the customer is able to
access the internet through the standalone
computer .
Now ask the customer to get the Ethernet MAC
address of the Network adapter. To do so take
the customer to the command prompt and ask
the customer to type ipconfig/all . Note down the
physical address .
Now , the next job would be to clone this MAC
address on the XBOX interface. We call this
procedure as “MAC CLONING” ( don panic , it’s
very simple)
8. XBOX and Broadband Package
IMPORTANT
We shall go through the above diagnostic step [ MAC
CLONING] only with old customers who have an
additional XBOX-PS2 package . The same has been
confirmed by FMET . If a customer is receiving MTU
error even after going through the basic setup , customer
needs to call Microsoft or a 3rd
party helpdesk to get help.
We shall not help him with a service that he is not paying
for.
