I understand that this is a common issue amongst Xboxers.  If re-booting your Home Hub fails to solve it, take a look at THIS (http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/BT/BTHomeHub/Xbox_Live_360.htm) site which may be useful.

It may also be worth phoning BT to see what they have to say.  There are obviously huge issues using the xbox with the hub.

Jim, it may be worth having a look at the link below to see if you can glean something useful from it.  I'm afraid I don't have an xbox myself.
