The Xbox live status web site sais everything is good. However it is telling me I am offline and cannot go into war games matchmaking. I know I am connected to Xbox live because I am in a party with someone right now trying to figure it out. Does anyone know what is going on? I know it is not the end of the world but I still want to know.
Have you tried going:
[START] > [Down] > (twice?) to Network Settings > and then make sure it says ‘Xbox Live’ on the one option (sometimes it switches itself to ‘My Xbox’).
Thats in your halo setting, not xbox settings, and those were awful instructions but hopefully you understand
