Will bandwidth over xbox live cause internet lag on a seperate computer?

We use Charter "high speed" (I think we all are victims of buying this so called high speed) 10 Mbps internet...fairly easy to play MW2 on pc. But I'm about to xbox live and my step dad is concerned that even being logged into xbox will slow his internet...I don't even think if I was to be hosting a MW2 match it would even have an effect. Apparently he's read in forums that xbox live consumes a lot of bandwidth constantly which I know it doesn't because it all varies on what you are doing. I just want to confirm that this is rightWill bandwidth over xbox live cause internet lag on a seperate computer?
If you're not using the computer it won't cause any lag on the Xbox360. It just won't because you're not using bandwidth from the internet connection. I often have 4 computers going from my sisters and only get a little lag so go from there. I have a ADSL account for broadband and the upload is slow but no bottlenecks if ever.Will bandwidth over xbox live cause internet lag on a seperate computer?
If it is just sitting there logged on doing nothing it will take nearly none, if you are playing a game it will take same as if you were on a computer. Either way it will not effect the rest of your network unless you have the absolute worse internet service provider ever.Will bandwidth over xbox live cause internet lag on a seperate computer?
Yes, and it works the other way too.

Internet on computer = lag on X-box live.

Xbox Live works fine, but I can't find any games online?

My Xbox Live works fine. I've tested the connection to see if my NAT settings were on strict. There was no problems there. Connection was perfect. I've tried turning my modem off and on. I've got Gold membership. I've put in two games (F.E.A.R 2 and Left 4 Dead 2) and neither will find any games, only once on Left 4 Dead 2. But it wouldn't let me actually play. It froze in the load menu and when I went to look in the lobby again, there was none anymore.



I'm in Australia. And I've read on a few of the Australian forums on Xbox.com people are having problems like this with MW2. Is there anything I can do?Xbox Live works fine, but I can't find any games online?
Unfortunately I don't think there is any easy solution. The problem may be region specific. Ask for help at an electronics store in your area.

So whats up with the 65nm chip?

ive been planning to get an xbox 360 soon but once i stumbled upon the 65nm chip info i decided to wait. now ppl on xbox forums are saying that onlye the halo3 edition comes with the new cpu. wut about the elites and premiums? if their lot no.'s are over 0734 would they have them? If not, will microsoft even incorporate the new chips into the elites and premiums? and if so, when? by lot no.'s 0735?



any help is greatly appreciatedSo whats up with the 65nm chip?
Once someone opens their Elite and Premiums up and find a Falcon 65nm motherboard, I'm sure it''ll be advertised. It'll happen in time.
actually the 65nm chips are with lot numerb 0735 and higher i have 0736 and have this new chip with the fan its super quiet and cold

Report Abuse

So whats up with the 65nm chip?
I did some research and couldn't find anything from legit sources that said that only the Halo 3 X-Box would get the new chip. I believe that any consoles manufactured in 2007 came with the new chip and that only the 2006 models were affected. However, if you're really going to buy one, check out the box as it should say what chip it has in it.
The chip is NOT out yet for any system. Microsoft is waiting until all of the old consoles are purchased before they start on the new chip. The 65nm chip wont be out until at least December.So whats up with the 65nm chip?
I think that the reason the halo 3 xbox 360s are "known" for having the falcon chipset is because they've been brought in newer than the other consoles. It's not that lots 0735+ for premium and elites don't have them, it's just that they haven't been seen in stores yet. I'm sure that the falcon chipset was implemented into the elites and premiums the same time as the Halo 3 Special Edition was, late lot 0734 (Manufacturing date August 24th or later). The problem is that the old ones without the falcon chipset aren't being sold fast enough to get the new ones in quickly enough. I hope this answered your question!

How to draw a shooting foul in NBA 2K12 for XBOX 360?

i can't find any forum or answers online... anyone know? the pumpfake and the defender jumps up, you jump into them to draw the foul?How to draw a shooting foul in NBA 2K12 for XBOX 360?
If you can successfully get your defender in the air with the pump fake, you must direct your player towards that defender using the Left Stick, and use the Right Stick(or X button) to shoot. That will then start an animation that draws the foul.



Hope I helped, have fun with 2k12!

How to fix Xbox 360 E73 error?

OK so i know what courses E73 but I want the technical way to fix this plzz. All over the forums people say the stick/towel method but ive tried both and neither works. I know my way around an xbox but i need a real wizz kid to help me on this one

Cheers :)How to fix Xbox 360 E73 error?
The towel trick is for the Red Ring of Death, not the E73. E73 is an ethernet port problem. Best thing to do is call MS to get it fixed. Anything you find on the net is only a temporary fix, and more often than not, it will do more damage to your 360.How to fix Xbox 360 E73 error?

However be careful picking guides on internet, I suggest you this one that worked for me:How to fix Xbox 360 E73 error?
Copied a snippet from a website..



The first way to actually repair xbox E74 issue is to make use of AV cable. From your xbox system, just unplug the AV cable and then slack out the dust that鈥檚 associated with other connections. Once you鈥檙e finished with that, try putting it back and turn it on..

How do i obtain the ability to sprint super fast on Modern Warfare 2 For Xbox?

When i was playing a free for all match some guy was zooming across the level at unbelievable speed. before i could aim down my sight he had stabbed me and two other guys around me. I've been to forum after forum and everyone keeps talking about how it happened to them but no one can tell me how to get this for myself. I need to know!How do i obtain the ability to sprint super fast on Modern Warfare 2 For Xbox?
HA HA, well what you do is you have Marathon and lightweight on, and get a 4 kill streak for a care package. With the care package you can literally get across the map in under about 10 seconds with the perks marathon and lightweight.

There is also mods that you can get but they are patched now.How do i obtain the ability to sprint super fast on Modern Warfare 2 For Xbox?
Using the perks Marathon and lightweight give you faster running and the ability to sprint nonstop. A Tactical Knife attachment on your sidearm improves your stabbing speed.How do i obtain the ability to sprint super fast on Modern Warfare 2 For Xbox?
There are two perks you can obtain. The first one gives you unlimited sprint and the second increases your run speed. Used together, you can zoom around knifing people before they can get their sights on you. Sorry -- I forgot the perk names but you get them really early on.
Turn on Marathon, Lightweight, and Ninja for your 3 perks. Marathon--unlimited sprint, Lightweight--Run faster, Ninja--silent footsteps. If you have pro, your better off as well. These are easily unlockable during gameplay. Make sure you have the tactical knife attachment for you handgun. Without this, your chances of stabbing are slim. Don't camp, keep running the perimeter. Stay away from all of your teammates, if any. If this still doesn't look like what you saw, then the person used a speed mod, but this would've made everyone in the entire game super fast.

How can I stream media from my pc to my Xbox 360?

I have tried Zune, TVersity, VME and WM11. WM11 is the only one that sees the xbox and lets me configure it to share, but when I try to access it from my xbox it says 'Cant Find Any Computers Running Media Sharing Software.....'. I've opened all ports and even tried shutting off my firewalls completely. I can get on Xbox live with no problem. I have the 360 hooked up to my computer's modem (ethernet) and I use a wireless network (linksys) to connect to the internet.

Hardware problem with XBOX 360?

I asked this question in the XBOX forum - probably the wrong place. My XBOX 360 began to freeze up while in the middle of a game. Then, it took no time at all - I could just put the DVD in, and it would freeze up. I first thought that it was a heat problem. I put the console in a more ventilated area - no good. I then took it apart, and washed the cheap thermal paste from the CPU and GPU and replace with higher grade paste - no good. I then starting reading more of how Microsoft used a few manufacturers of DVD ROMs, and that one company was not up to par. Has anyone heard of this? Has anyone had a similar problem? And yes, I am getting the red ring of death (3 of 4 lights - denoting a hardware problem).Hardware problem with XBOX 360?
you need to keep the ac adapted ventilated not just the xbox itself. when the adapted get too hot it decreases the amount of energy the xbox gets and it gives you the hardware error. everytime i get the ring of death is cos low power levels. althougt i get the casual game freeze too but not a game freez with the red ring.Hardware problem with XBOX 360?
not too great on consles..but i did hear about software being faulty..but if your getting harware errors as u stated
