Not much to go on, but first check your family settings. Then, if no luck, delete maps and dl again.

I'm having the same problem. I tried playing halo2 on my 360 for the first time yesterday, and it connects to xbl fine. I try to download new content and then it tries to connect again and it says there's something wrong with my network settings even though I can already play fine and I was just connected to xbl 5 secs ago.

My family settings are fine I just got my xbox a month ago new.

Your prob is a little different, you seem to get knocked out of your connection. Make sure your IP is set to automatic, both on your comp and 360. Sometimes the router needs to be reset, you can try plugging the 360 Cat5 directly into the modem to see if you can stay on.

Or, your IP connection is too slow (dial-up is usually the culprit).

Go to your family settings on the dashboard and make sure it says you can play original xbox games. I had to do that when I first got my 360.

Grumpy I could play every other game fine on live and it even signs into live right when I start the game, but woudn't sign into live in the content download section when it says I have to exit halo 2.

I double checked my family settings and everything looked ok and was allowed.

I tried it today and it magically works so I'm guessing it was a problem on their end.

I'm glad it worked out.
