So. It was me after all.
Not the first time it wasn't Microsoft's fault
So after a week of Xbox Live issues with my new Special Edition Halo 3 Xbox 360 Console I finally tried something that Microsoft Xbox support did not suggest. Something that I admit, I didn't think would be the problem.
I pulled my D-Link DGL-4200 Gaming Router and replaced it with my backup Linksys WRT54G v.3 router. I then played an entire evening of successful Xbox Live gaming with my Special Edition Halo 3 Xbox 360 Console and my LinkSys router. While I was surprised this worked I don't think I was as upset as Graybush who was hoping to buy the Xbox if I couldn't get it to work on my network.
Anyhow for now LinkSys good, D-Link bad.
Although I have just restored my D-link router after resetting it to factory defaults and downgrading the firmware slightly (from 1.9 to 1.6).
Guess there is more testing required. Although I think Guba is starting to see through my "I need to do more diagnostics on my Halo box" excuse.

Does this mean that you bought the absurdly expensive xbox wireless adapter? I hope not (yes I know that wireless routers have LAN ports, but it's not 100% clear here).
I never mentioned wireless. My entire network is wired.
Although I did test my flaky Halo 3 Special Edition Xbox 360 with my absurdly expensive xbox wireless adapter. It was still flaky. My absurdly expensive xbox wireless adapter usually resides in my LAN party bag and is hardly ever used.
I am not sure though if $49.99 really qualifies as absurdly expensive for a device that originally retailed at $129.99. Or was it only $40? Only Coxxorz knows for sure.
The new Wireless N adapter is going for $100, and the old one is being sold for $80 now (on sale for $60 this week at Future Shop).
