Ok on the main internet pc there is a internet connection via usb modem.
I need to share this connection with the pc downstairs AND the xbox 360.
On the main PC there is 2 network connections on the motherboard. So i have a 2 cat 5 cable's going from the main pc to the pc downstairs and the xbox 360.
Before i reformated my hard drive it was possible to get a network connection on both the 360 and the pc downstairs.
Now that i have reformated my hard drive, setting up the network connection and no internet connection is active. Now when i click on the advance properties of my isp sharing of the internet was unticked (even though i selected i wanted to share my connection when setting up home network)
Underneath that it says what connection do i want to share :-
Local area connection
or
Local area connection(2)
It is not possible to select both and i can only select one (as its a drop down selection menu) So i have to keep swaping settings if i want to go on xbox live, which is not acceptable.
Does anyone know the correct way of getting the net connection on both LAN connections?
Ive been trying to sort it out for a couple of hours now and im pulling my hair out i cant figure out where to go next. Like it said, it is possible as i had it working before i reformated my harddrive.
