xbox live auto connection remedy?

hi guys,

been on live for about a week now and am enjoying getting a regular arsekicking on gow

just wondering, is there anyway i can stop the xbox 360 automatically signing me in to live when i sign in to my gamertag? there's some times i just want a one player game without being sent requests from friends every 5 seconds. don't get me wrong i dig the old friends thing its just i hate to reject offers of invitation when i'm trying to improve my own game.

i'd like to just connect to live when i want to play multiplayer

any suggestions??

Press the guide button and a blade appears from the left. Click on you gamerscore and status at the top. Then go down to the auto sign in option, click on it and disable it. This is permanent.

The other option is to click on personal settings then online status and make yourself appear offline. I'm not sure if this is permanent though and you may have to do it again every time.

Or you could get a wireless adaptor and leave a disk in the tray. That way you'll never get auto signed in again.

You must have a problem m8, as I have a wireless adaptor and leave a disk in the tray and I get auto sign in everytime. I know there was a a problem with it a while ago but the spring update am sure sorted that

well i tried that but it was already set to disabled. when i boot up the xbox360 my profile isn't selected. no profile is. which is fine, but as soon as i select my profile it signs into the profile and xbox live at the same time. i just want it to sign into my profile and not into live giving me the option to sign into live later after a single player session. is this possible??

It was the Spring update that caused it.

I get auto signed into my profile, but not into Live.

You're right. I'm not sure if there is any other way except my second option which is to make yourself invisible everytime.
