it says that because it acknowledges that its "plugged in" but theres no data been sent between the 2 pices of hardware. it sees that another piece of hardware is connected on the other end of the cable but its thinking "well, ive not been told to send anyhing to that, and its not talking to me, WTF limited Connectivity!!!OMG11!!!" when you click the box on the wireless connection to enable ICS (which you cant find at present) it says "oh right nice one, i have to send and recieve any data to/from the wireless connection, here xbox have some t'internet"

So if he enables the LAN, then tries to see on wireless connection 2, if the advanced tab is there? This should make it appear?

It works because of this, the LAN had to be enabled for the advanced box to come up, ticked allow others to connect to the internet-hey presto it works. Thanks a lot guys.

(You might want to save this thread as it has a lot of useful information)
 
I don't have a lot to add, other than I have this exact set up and it works 100% fine and dandy. cables and network cards are no-name rescued junk. Windows XP pro on P3-800mhz system.

From what i remember i did nothing more than select 'share connection' on the wireless connection and away i went.

Hope this helps.
 
i'm no expert, but if the PC is connecting to the internet via a wireless router you won't get ICS to work to share the connection from the PC to the 360 (both the router and ICS do the same job).

IIRC you will need to "bridge" the two connections, i'm not sure if XP home allows this though.
