I am trying to connect my Xbox 360 slim and it is failing to get an IP.  Everything else hooks up just fine.. why is Xbox giving me a hard time?

Silly Xbox.

I always find that doing a factory reset of the xbox network settings solves most issues.

same here. I set up a DCHP reservation on the router for the XBOX and when I seem to have issues i reset the XBOX network settings and it usually corrects itself without having to mess with the modem or router.

Ya I think there is a bug in the Xbox networking that for some reason doesn't clear out correctly unless a reset is performed. I was moderate NAT the other night after putting on a different router while the xbox was off. I turned the xbox on later and had moderate NAT. Did a reset and was OPEN after that.

I recommend always doing a factory reset on xbox consoles before installing a new router or making IP address changes. Xboxes wont clear out any previous networking history unless it's factory reset.

Any status on this?

Does it seem to happen after 24hrs? If so, sounds like a DHCP lease issue. Keep the DHCP reservation but set the IP on the 360 to static.
