ICS with router?

Hey all,

Got a bit of a problem, my routers ports are completely full but i need to connect my 360 up to use xbox live. I have a 2nd network card in my system so i figured id just enable internet connection sharing on that card so it shares the connection im recieving, the problem is it won't let me enable it, all i get are errors about 192.168.0.1 already being in use etc.

Now i know the router is currently that ip address so im wandering is it possible to use ICS while using a router aswell?

All i want to do is let the 360 use the connection my PC is recieving aswell.

Thanks

JJ

Yep, it's possible.

Why not configure the router with the IP 192.168.1.1 and assign the DHCP pool to give out similar IP's, thus leaving 192.168.0.1 free for your machine to use.

or if that doesn't work use network bridge instead of ICS.
