Default Problems with xbox live

Hey everyone I need some help. Alright I have had xbox live for my 360 before but I switched from cable to dsl and since I have had the dsl I cannot get live to work. It fails on the DNS portion of the connection test, when it fails this part it says
"DNS look up status, DNS server cannot be reached, please verify the DNS settings for this network configuration." The dsl is hooked to a router which the computer is also connected to and the connection to the computer works just fine (meaning it can access the internet). However, the xbox live cannot connect.

how long have you had dsl? because there have been problems with live lately anyway so it could just be coincidence

Go check out the main forums at xboxlive.com, and you'll see that there have been issues with xboxlive for nearly two weeks. It has also been reported by Major Nelson from Xboxlive that anyone that has an active LIVE account (gold or silver I hear0 will be able to get a free LIVE arcadee game at some point soon in thanks for everyones patienece with the problems they have had with LIVE.
