Xbox360 networking help

[Over Clocker]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to help a friend connect up his Xbox 360 to get internet through his PC.

I know a lot about corporate networking, but not a great deal about ICS or the Xbox!

He has ADSL coming into his PC via a USB modem. He then has the network card in his PC connected to a mini hub, and has a wireless point connected to the mini hub which the Xbox 360 connects to.

He is getting the "limitted or no connectivity" popup on his PC. I'd assume the PC network card requires a static IP, but am very unsure of how the xbox networking works.

Can anyone offer any assistance>

Thanks,

Mal

If he's running ICS, then there's a DHCP server already there.
So both the Xbox and PC should be getting IP addresses et al automatically - but if the PCs getting "limited or no connectivity", there's something broke with it (or it's not set up properly).

Sorted now, he hadn't actially set up ICS even though he said he had!!
