"XBox LIVE not responding?"

I'm trying to make a new account on LIVE and I get to the billing region bit...

Then it says 'XBox LIVE is not responding. Please try later' Is this hapeneing to anyone else?

The way the Gamecube freezes during random games of Rogue Leader and Super Monkey Ball, and the weird noises it's reported to make by some people, are also somewhat similar to a PC, no ? Xbox Live is still in beta so it's not going to be perfect yet.

That sounds like a much better option.

What do you want it to say?

'Hello, thicky. Something's wrong. Luv Bill XXX'

Yes it does, but dont forget if his connection is being blocked by a firewall then it wouldnt be Microsofts fault. Also its a service so you expect some problems to arise now and again. Has for example your ISP ever had problems meaning you cant connect, so its the same sort of situation.

'Xbox Live is not responding, please try again later'

Sounds very much like something that would happen on Windows.

Hillarious

Its weird that I dont. How have yoy set up your firewall? Do you have it set as block everything until you allow it?

I would never ever run the internet with out a firewall now, even if its to play XBox Live. My firewall picks up attacks when i've been on XBox Live so I am glad I dont have to disable it. Until you get a firewall you dont relise how many ports scans e.t.c are done to your IP address.

I have Norton Firewall 2002 and have to disable it when I use Xbox live. I have put a hole in the firewall to allow the Xbox through but it still will not have it. When I said disable the firewall I did not mean permanently, just disable it and see if it works.

Or configure it. If you set the Win XP firewall(same place as setting the ICS) then I would turn that off. As the Win XP firewall seems to be very harsh on everything. If you have a standalone firewall try and configure that a little. I have Norton Firewall 2002 and didnt need to do anything to it for XBox Live to work. Maybe try XBox Live later, there may be a problem for you and others but not for everyone.

Disable your firewall and it should be fine.

all the answers are a yes.. last answer is XP
