Wireless/Wired network 360 setup

hobobob · 4 Jan 2007 at 17:23

Please forgive me if you think that this should be in the console forums but i thought it was more network orientated.

Anyhow,

I have just recieved my Netgear DG834PN wirless router and have setup with ease my wireless internet. However my trouble is now to set up a wireless LAN connection to connect my Laptop and 2 desktop PCs.

I would aslo like to run a Ethernet cable from my PC recieving Internet ,via the wireless dongle, to get Xbox live in my bedroom however i cannot get it to recognise the connection as it says limited connectivity and the 360 test cannot retrieve the IP address.

Any help would be grateful as i have limited knoledge in this area.

Thanks all!

ok found out how to bridge connections but what does this do and why is the 360 still not recognising IP addys. Also when i bridged connections it said IP addresses conflicted.

Set the 360 to DHCP.
