XBOX Live MTU Failed

6403 Views 34 Posts Xbox Live, Hosting and Parties
All of a sudden (literally) my xbox is failing to connect to xbox live; stopping at MTU in the Connection Test.

IT was working fine yesterday, nothing has (seemingly) changed. I have no idea what has caused this or how to fix it.

I am using a Thomson 530 Speedtouch ADSL Modem. This is extremely frustrating!

Any help, advice or ideas are all GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks guys

ETA: NEVER MIND! I managed to discover that XBOX Live is down for maintenance today! Apparently MTU failures are common during down time!

PHEW!

Connection Tests: Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU)


This test confirms that your network has a sufficient Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU). MTU is a setting on your router or gateway that can affect network performance; the MTU diagnostic test will tell you if your router or gateway's MTU is too small.

The MTU determines the largest datagram (a self-contained packet of information) that an IP interface can transmit. The larger the permissable datagram for your router or gateway, the faster the data throughput.

Thus: the larger the datagram, the better the gaming.

Xbox Live requires a minimum MTU setting of 1364, so your router or gateway's MTU must be greater than or equal to 1365. If it's less than 1365 you won't be able to connect to Xbox Live.

If your console does not pass this test, you will not be able to sign in to Xbox Live. In this case, change the MTU setting on your router or gateway to a value of 1365 or greater (see the documentation that came with your device for details).

If you change your MTU setting and your console still fails this test, call 1-800-555-741 for help.

Isnt there upgrades or something today???
not sure when the update is taking place, but it shouldn't effect the MTU

I've got this problem on a customers xbox. my network & internet connection is set to 1500 MTU. the 360 is connecting to the network and internet fine, but won't go onto xbox live.

Test failed screen indicates, network does not have sufficient MTU setting of 1364 minimum.

any tips? (could this be a banned xbox live console)
Epic Revival.
Wow, most epic revival!

Could be banned, yes?

What, why? He's got a legitimate problem, and used this instead of starting a new thread.
