I want to hook up Xbox live, Im on a Linksys befsr41 router.

When i look in Winipcfg, it doesnt exactly show me the info I need.

This is what the xbox needs for manually config

IP:
Subnet:
Gateway:

Host Name: (would this just be cogeco?)
Mac Address: (i got that)

primary dns:
alternative dns:

I got 2 computers hooked up to the router, and a 50 foot cord going to the Xbox, thanks, I tried searching but...

If you could just answer where I could find these quick, or some help would be greatly appreciated!


EDIT -

I found this info on my admin page of LinkSys


MAC:00-04-5A-E1-E9-D5


(MAC Address: 00-04-5A-E1-**-**)
IP Address: 24.141.216.**
Subnet Mask: 255.255.***.0
Default Gateway: 24.141.***.1
DNS: 24.226.1.**
216.221.81.**
24.226.1.**



LinkSys EtherFast BEFSr41


What would DNS be, like I see 3 things, Whats primary and whats alternative? And whats the other ones

*I stared them for privacy*

;)

also, it asks for Host name, what is an example (in the same column of Mac address

You don't need to manually configure the Xbox if it's hooked to a router. It will automatically pick up the right info.

resart (recycle) your modem. Go and make sure everything is set to automatic.
