whats ICMP?

comp builder · 13 Oct 2007 at 11:25

being trying to get onto my xbox live for the past half hour. I've done everything i can think of. I have:

re-booted the router

un-plugged the ethernet cable and blown into the connection(on both the router and xbox)

entered the network info manually

i've even changed back to my old router (the one supplied by my isp, orange)

i can access the internet (using either router) i just can't log into xbox live

so i just did a connection test and it failed on the ICMP but passed everything before (ip address etc etc) so now its really started to **** me off and i have no idea what to do

thanks

just got off the phone to microsoft customer support. Turns out the server is down for maintenance and wont be back up for 3odd hours.
Very helpful advice guy, thanks
