Connecting xbox 360 to live through a pc

[Jonny L]

Hi guys I'm having some problems with this, I have connected the 360 to my pc with the lan cable and the pc is connected to my router through a wireless adapter. The xbox recognises the pc, yet is not getting through to live and if i look on my pc it recognises the connection to the the xbox but says its not connected to the web. Any ideas?

i don't think you can do it!

have you tried connecting a wire from the router directly to you xbox?

You can do it by bridging the wireless and LAN connection or by enabling internet connection sharing.

Can you do it this way too?
If so,how?

Thats how I've just done it, just hook it all up and go into your wireless network in the control pannel and tell it to let other objects connect through your comp. I also had to manually type the IPs into the xbox but got it workin now , msn still dont work , but im gettin there.

I noticed a lot of Wireless don't support promiscuous mode.
But on MS website it shows you how to force it

Edit:

mine works now

how I did it:


Bridge the connections, enabled promiscuous mode on my wireless card, never changed any IP settings what-so-ever, left 360 to 'auto detect'

..all works fine

Perhaps this is my problem ? I have a wired connection on my PC to the wireless router and have the 360 connected wirelessly to the router but the 360 cant see them computer but it can access the internet. Does that mean that I should get a wireless card or dongle for the PC for it to run properly or is there a way round it ??

Not sure, but you can do it the way i'm connecting, just so you know.
