D'oh! It turns out it was a case of user error. (My
Xbox isn't modded by the way) I tried connecting my Xbox directly to my router to rule out the wireless adapter. When I tried to connect to XBL, it failed. I couldn't imagine what was wrong. I remembered that I had to punch holes in my firewall for the ports that Xbox Live needed. I looked at the ports and they were still listed and it showed the IP address that it used. I ran over to my Xbox and sure enough, my IP address had changed. I had the IP address on my Xbox set to dynamic and the router must have given my Xbox a new IP address. I entered a static IP address for the Xbox and put it in the port forwarding setup on my router and it worked just dandy. Thanks for your help.
