Hello Howard,
Thank you for contacting Microsoft online support for XBOX. I am May and I will be helping you today with this issue.
We received your email and as I understand that when you run the Test Xbox LIVE test, a red "X" appears between the Internet and Xbox LIVE icons, and the value for Test Status for Xbox LIVE is displayed as "Failed."
I know how disappointing it is that you're unable to connect to Xbox Live and your MTU fails. Please be assured that I will do my best to help you resolve the issue.
Here are some things that you can try to resolve the issue. If you already done all the steps below, you may need to call Xbox Customer Support at the number indicated below for further assistance.
MTU test failure
You may experience this issue if the router or the gateway is incompatible with Xbox LIVE or if the router or the gateway has an incorrect MTU setting.
MTU is a setting on the router or on the gateway that can affect network performance. Xbox LIVE requires a minimum MTU setting of 1364. If your console does not pass this test, you cannot sign in to Xbox LIVE. If you have multiple consoles that are connected by using the same connection, this may cause a failed MTU test. A failed MTU test may also occur if the connection to your computer is shared.
To resolve this issue if you have an Xbox LIVE-compatible device, follow these steps.
Notes
. Before you follow these steps, make sure that you power cycle all the devices on the network. For more information about how to power cycle network devices, please click the following web link to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/944294 - How to power cycle home networking devices
. If you use an Xbox LIVE-compatible device, you should not receive this error message. This is true because the MTU should be set to 1364 or higher.
1. Visit the following Xbox Web site to determine whether you have the correct firmware version that is certified as compatible:
http://www.xbox.com/support/connectt.../equipment.htm
See the router or gateway instruction manual for information about how to change the MTU setting.
2. If you share a connection together with a router and a modem, try to make a direct connection without using the router.
Note A direct connection eliminates any router configuration problems.
3. If you can connect without using the router, you may have to manually set the MTU on the router to 1364. To do this, or to determine whether the router supports this feature, see the router support documentation, or contact the router support group.
If you need to reply to this e-mail, please reply 'with history' (include any previous e-mail) or reference to Service Request Number 1109003035 so we can expedite our service to you.
