Setting Up Xbox Live!

NeoReloaded · 23 May 2009 at 12:41

Hey guys im having a bit of a problem trying to set my brothers 360 up for live! His internet is just the bog standard BT 2mb, but it runs through the phone line to the modem and into the pc via USB! So im using an ethernet cable from the 360 to the ethernet port on the back of the pc! Sounds like an easy set up, but during the connection test it fails straight away on the I.P Address?! Tried resetting the modem etc, but to no avail!

Any idea what i can try?

Thanks

Have you set up internet connection sharing?

How do i do that? Im not very good with connection settings!

Right click the connection that you want to share. Go to properties, click the advanced tab, check the enable internet connection sharing checkbox.

I'm having a look for a guide on the net for you, but thats kinda the really basics

Might have to buy a real router, USB modems are pretty naff.

Official Xbox Adapter is a good buy

Works perfectly for me.

Bridge the two connections from the PC.
Should work

Best plan is to buy a £40 router. Or, your ISP may give you a discounted one cheapish.

Of course, you dont have to buy anything...

The only downside to ICS is that the PC must be on in order to share the net connection. Google some guides for setting up ICS with your xbox. There should be loads.

Hey there, go into network connections and highlight your internet connection and the ethernet connection ,right click and bridge them,that way it'll work great but you may have to delete the bridge to use the net on the pc
