i just recently softmodded my xbox and i have put xbmc on it and it works great. i am able to ftp into the xbox, and the xbmc is able to share the music and videos from my computer. the problem is that the xbox can't get online to access the weather.com information or the kml internet radio. it always comes up access denied. i have a verizon dsl service with a westell modem/router.

the only thing that i can think of is that when i first went online with my ps2 i had to set up the account so that it typed in the username and password for my internet account. otherwise the ps2 would not get online. i never had to do this with comcast cable modem, but the ps2 said for pppoe accounts it is necasarry, and that is what my verizon is. i guess i am wondering if there is any way to get the xbox to use a username and password before trying to get infrom from the net. thanks

p.s. i did search for this but came up with nothing pertaining to my issue :)

xbmc doesn't support pppoe (http://www.xboxmediaplayer.de/cgi-bin/forums/ikonboard.pl?act=st;f=4;t=1675), however that doesn't sound like your problem, think you haven't setup dns (nameserver) ip or you have a firewall
