I have my PC connected to my Router downstairs and into 1 of the 2 gigabit ethernet ports on my motherboard. The Xbox360 is connected to the other gigabit ethernet port on my motherboard.
If I bridge the connections in network setting for the Router and Xbox360 connections to the PC, then I can get on Xbox Live (i.e. the Xbox360 has a connection to the internet) but then File sharing will not work (to play music streamed from my PC). If I unbridge the connections then I can get file sharing to work but now the Xbox360 has no connection to the internet.
I've tried opening the ports on my router for the Xbox360 but this has no effect (not suprising considering the Xbox360 isn't even connected to it). Choosing "Share this internet connection" on the network settings for the connection to my router results in an error saying it cannot be shared. I'm currently using a custom IP for the connection to the router (so that my opened ports work) of 192.168.0.66 if that's of any help solving the problem.
Is there any way that I can get both the Internet connection AND the File sharing to work for the Xbox360 without me having to mess with the network settings every time?
Thanks.
