You can always try and connect to a PC ???

how do you update through a PC ?

[alexvander]

if you bought it used the xbox could have been banned for some reason like a mod or somethin else

Because you can possibly download the files you need and then upload them to your Xbox ???

Thats the thing, dont know where to download the update, because you can download a backwards compatibility update, and the burn it to a CD, but i cant find anything else

I bought one for $400 with 5 games,2 wireless controllers and 2 head-sets no too long ago.
By the way that's not the point. I had the same problem as you the first day I turned it on. All I did was change the IP Address that the Xbox was using from my router's configuration panel,restart it,and booyah! But I don't know if it is your problem. I hope it is.

How do you change the ip addy of the xbox 360 from the routers controll panel, i thought you could only change ip settings on the xbox itself. If you could give me a detailed explanation that would be great! iv had the marketplace work on my old xbox 360, but never xbox live, i just want to update my system to play media.

Here is the latest kernal for the US xbox 360, I am guessing its the same for Canada. There is a link to the download near the bottom of the page.
