Console Related Brain Teaser:
You have 1 Xbox 360
1 PC
1 Netgear Router
1 Wireless Adaptor for Router
1 Network Cable
1 Monitor
Your setup:
The PC is setup as standard, plugged into monitor and connects to the internet via the Wireless adaptor.
The 360 connects to the same monitor (VGA cable) and would like to also connect to the internet.
Microsoft says 'use windows ics' to allow the 360 to plug directly into your computers network card. Thus using the same connection, via the wirelss adaptor that the PC uses.
BUT, it dosent work. The 360 connection comes up on the PC as a LAN connection and is not able to get an IP address as its already in use....
The brainteaser is this - have any of you got this setup, using ICS and how do you get around that error?
PC works online fine
