Set your MTU in you router to 1364
Xbox Live it requires a minimum of 1364. 1460 should be fine but you don't want to be set it too large else you'll also encounter problems.
I'd hazard a guess that the MTU currently in mclovins router is currently below the minimum rather than above. Microsoft advise that you set it to 1364.
Ah, I was guessing it would be the "usual" problem is the router is set to 1500 (the IP standard specified minimum value for MTU), the Xbox sends out packets at 1500, and they were either getting fragmented at the ISP, then dropped a MS as they don't accept fragments, or ICMP "must fragment" messages were being sent back, but being blocked by NAT
But I don't know anything about connecting toys to the internet
