Xbox 360 Live Help!?

Right, I have heard instead of plugging your ethernet cable into your router you can plug it into your laptop which has a wireless internet connection. On the official Xbox website it tells you how to do this: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/live/connect/ics_xp.htm# but when i get to step 3 I get this error


';An error occured while internet connection sharing was being enable


Internet connection sharing cannot be enable


A LAN connection is already configured with the IP address that is required for automatic IP addressing';





Please help and is your xbox live connected to a laptop connected to wireless internetXbox 360 Live Help!?

    1. Try another port on your laptop.


    2. Go to your internet security on your laptop and desktop, and make sure it is trusted.


    3. Why don't you just hook up your ethernet cord from your X360 to your Desktop computer?

    Connecting XBOX360 to Live via Wireless Laptop to LAN?

    I have an XBOX 360 and 2 laptops. Xbox 360 was previously connected to Laptop A. Wireless conection was configured to share internet connection and this allowed the XBOX to connect to Live through the laptop. Recently, I have tried the same setup with my brothers laptop, Laptop B. It worked the same. However, my brother found some Malware and we restored his computer to factory settings for it to work. I went to reconfigure the laptop the same exact way again and it no longer works. Live Diagnostic run on the XBOX indicates an insufficient MTU. Connections show positive for network and internet but not live. I manually adjusted the MTU to the windows XP default in the registry. (1460) Problem persist. Any ideas on how to make this work? My brother just got his own XBOX and he cant connect to live.Connecting XBOX360 to Live via Wireless Laptop to LAN?
    I have done this with my laptop before, here is a link i used to do it.

    I would highly recommend you invest $20 and buy the cheapest wireless access point, router, or bridge at your local electronics store. Use a laptop or PC to configure it to connect to your wireless network. Then plug the Xbox360 into (one of its) LAN port(s).





    If it's a router, disable DHCP (automatic address assignment).





    This will solve all your problems and provide a much more reliable Internet connection for the 360.

    You have to get a wireless adapter to connect to the internet and live, and you should be able to recover your gamertag.

    Xbox 360 Live Connecting?

    I just bought a three month trial to xbox live but im trying to figure out how to conect it to my xbox. I have wireless internet but do I need to buy a wireless adapter for the xbox too? I dont want to buy anything else. I also have a cord to connect from my laptop to my xbox. I dont get how ANY of this works. And then I go to the website they gave me that says I need to sign in but dont know what that is about either! I want to know how to:





    Connect xbox to wireless or with the cord.


    Where to sign in.


    How to get friends who have wireless


    how to get internet access on my xbox.





    Basically I just bought the three month gold member.. No I need to know exactly what to do.





    Any help please?Xbox 360 Live Connecting?
    You should buy the ethernet cord and run in from your modem to the back of your xbox. Even if you have a wireless router, you should still have a port for the cord.


    If you buy the wireless adapter for your xbox, it will cost you $99, so running a cord is a cheaper option.


    Once you have the cord connected, turn off the xbox and the router. Wait one minute, and turn the router back on. Once all the lights are on the router, turn thexbox back on and you will be connected and be able to set up you live account from the profile screen.Xbox 360 Live Connecting?
    You have to plug an ethernet cable to the back of your router and then plug the other end to the back of the Xbox 360. From there turn on your Xbox 360 and click on join Xbox Live. Follow the instructions and when it gets to the part where it says choose your account level click on redeem code. Then peel of the thing on the 3-month and enter that code. Then your done.





    To get other friends on Xbox Live just ask them for their gamertag, click on your friends list through the guide button, click on add, and then enter your friends gamertag.





    Hope this helps.
    You have to have a high speed internet connection, and a modem that you can plug your network adapter from, it doesnt plug into your computer thats if you want to sownload stuff, if you need anything just mail me,

    If you are using a wireless broadband USB stick for your internet connection for you laptop then you can't use that as a wireless connection for your 360 if that's what you mean (since the USB stick only receives the connection, not send one out).





    If your router's connection doesn't reach your 360 then try moving the 360 closer to the router.Xbox live connection help?
    I don't think you can use your laptop as a router. The wireless adaptor does cost a lot of money, but it does work well, it just depends on your connection. I haven't had any problems with the wireless adaptor since I signed up for xbox live. The other guy is wrong when he says it didn't work well, but it does cost a lot. I think you should spend the hundred dollars if you really want live that much.
    Well as far as I know you cannot use your laptop as a router for you 360 the only way to connect is to use a Ethernet Cable to you modem or router or use the Wireless adapter and connect to the router. The wireless adapter is a ripoff and does not work well I would not recommend it.

    Hook up an ethernet cord to your laptop, turn on laptop then xbox, go to network settings and you should see that your Local connection is now online, highlight both the wireless network (one your laptop is running off of) and the local and select bridge connections. once the bridge is done disable the bridge and both connections, go to your local connection and go to properties and settings, enable internet connection sharing (ICS), and do the same for the wireless network. Enable the bridge and both networks, reset laptop and reset the router/modem/xbox. Should all work now otherwise try just enabling the ICS on one of the connections, you may have to play around with it for a little bit, it's been a while since I've done it haha

    if it's even possible you need a crossover cable and will need to set static IP addresses on that network card and the Xbox. You will then prolly have to enable the Internet Connection Sharing setting on the computer. Hopefully someone will give you some instructions- I have to go sell my car

    ahh this sucks a few of my friends have this issue, your NAT type is CLOSED you need to change it to OPEN. or you can just add a whole heap of random people to your friends list and when you want to play a game just join thier session in progress
    Just give it some time. It usually takes 1 to 3 hours to connect to a game.
    It should only take seconds.. maybe do a network test on your XBOX or test another game on XBOX live.

    How can I connect to Xbox live on Xbox 360?

    hey everyone,





    well, well, well the troubles ive had with establishing a continous connection, my problem is well, ive looked over the internet for about a week on youtube ect for a way to properly connect to xbox live.





    I got my xbox bout 1 month ago and it took me 2 nights to get a connection up and running, then 1 day later it wouldnt work, i checked my settings in networks and it was all the same. I tried again a few days later then it worked then 2 days later it wouldn't!





    Ive tried bridging connections, changing my MAC address on the console, reseting the console, enabling sharing on my network, reseting the Ip adress and ive gone intothe protocol thing allowed xbox through. But when I put the Ethernet cable into the computer, it verifys the connection and says that it is local. It always says local, Ive tried EVERYTHING!!!





    I'm connecting my Xbox 360 to my laptop via ethernet cord and then connecting to the internet using a sierra wireless aircard 880U with bigpond internet. This connection has worked before and im really getting fustrated.





    When the connection doesnt work the Xbox 360 comes up with the error that my modem is not giving it a Ip adress (something like that).

    That's not possible. You will need to connect the Laptop to the Router, and the Xbox 360 to the router. The laptop and the 360 can see each other via the router, but if you try to connect both through one port (IE you connect one to the internet and then try to connect the other through the first to the internet), they will try to share an IP address, which will cause one or the other to not have an IP address at all.
    Alot of problems with the Xbox can be fixed yourself without even opening the case! Free information can be found here for the repair of your xbox http://AdvancedXboxRepair.com this is how I was able to fix my own Xbox without shipping to Microsoft!

    I don't recommend trying to do gaming this way, but if you must - try this





    1. Make sure you have a CROSSOVER cable between your laptop and your Xbox


    2. Use the wizards in the Windows Laptop to set up ICS (Internet Connection Sharing)


    Done correctly your computer will try to act as a router and share the Internet connection with the Xbox





    In reality, ICS is usually too slow to allow decent gaming. You will be much happier once you bite the bullet and get a router.

    Why does my mom's new laptop cause my other laptop's internet and xbox live not to work?

    Okay, my mom just came home with a gateway laptop with windows 7.It has wired connection to my modem, a belkin54g, as well as my xbox does. My laptop, however, is a wireless connection. Now, my internet on my laptop fails to load web pages properly (Website found, waiting for reply) and my xbox live does not connect. Under xbox live connection details, its reason for not connecting is no connection from Internet-%26gt;Xbox Live. Does anyone know what exactly is happening, and how to solve this issue?Why does my mom's new laptop cause my other laptop's internet and xbox live not to work?
    You need to access your router's settings. Generally the ip address of a Belkin router is 192.86.2.1 (yours could be different, check your manual) in any case you only have a certain number of ip addresses available. You need to change your router settings to allow for an extra ip address, otherwise your mom's computer will always kick the xbox offline.Why does my mom's new laptop cause my other laptop's internet and xbox live not to work?
    You said her new laptop has a wired connection to your modem...and that's the problem. You cant plug more than one device into a modem. So either plug your router into the modem, or plug her laptop into the modem, not both. In your case, you want to plug your router into the modem, and her laptop into the router, just like your laptop and 360 do.
    Do the other computers work again if you unplug your mom's computer from the belkin router? I question the putative causation.
    Why would she connect wired? Why not wireless also?
    Did you add the MAC address of the laptop to the router?

    How Can I Connect To My Xbox Live?

    And can I do it without and Adapter, and if not , where can I buy one


    ThanksHow Can I Connect To My Xbox Live?
    Connect the Ethernet wire to the back of your 360 and the router.


    Then you should be set to log in, connect, and play.


    You can do it with the wireless adapter also, but they're quite expensive.


    You could try Walmart, Gamestop, or other game stores.How Can I Connect To My Xbox Live?
    All you need is to get the wireless adapter made for xbox. They sale them at wal mart for around $100.00 comes with instructions. Another options is to hook it up the same way you did before. Most wireless routers still have the option of hard wiring to them the same way you had it before. Here is a video that should get you up and running either way you decide to go. Hope this helps.

    So if I got this right you have ur 360 plugged into your router or your computer? Ok first off if you have a wireless adaptor for your 360 you can connect wirelessly, also you can connect your 360 to the wireless router with an ethernet cord, AND you can connect your 360 to a computer thats connected to the router either wireless or ethernet cord doesnt matter
    Your router should have came with a cd. And you have to have the ';ethernet'; cord to connect to the modem and stuff like that. But the cd for the router is what you really need.
    Sounds like you need someone to come to your home and Connect all that stuff. look in the phone book for a internet person. It should cost to much.

    To do it wirelessly you would need to purchase the Xbox USB wireless adaptor and also have a wireless broadband router. You got the router, you just need to spend the $100 for the adaptor.
    We sell that thing at wal-mart (well a newer version) and it will work with your 360. Shame on Microsoft for selling their wireless adapter for $100 while Nintendo charges $30.

    If you are using wireless, you have to buy the Xbox wireless reciever to plug in the back of your Xbox, it's about æ‹¢60.


    Or you could get an ethernet cable to plug in the back of your xbox from your modem. But that is only possible if the xbox is near your modem.





    From there you buy the Xbox Live subscription and press 'Connect to Xbox Live'/'Join Xbox Live' from your xbox and follow the instructions.





    Hope I helped :DHow do i connect my xbox 360 up to xbox live?
    all you need is an ethernet wire or wireless thing basically plug wire into back of router and back of 360 and there you go.


    you can buy subscription online so you dont need a card and you can connect to xbox live without having to pay but with restricted service by seleting a silver account once youve paid æ‹¢50 you will get gold account and trust me when i say it xbox live is the best thing about xbox by far.


    i would sell my 360 if it diddnt have live its all i do now play online with mates its great just to let you know my xbox acount is blownjacko so give me a shout if you need to know more
    u need to either purchase a wireless connector for your xbox 360 to recieve internet connection through your modem to ur 360 or an ethernet cable and basically just hook it up, once you've done that you can go and create and xbox live account which u do on the xbox itself,


    you will get 1 month free at that point when u sign up on a silver account, but it would be best to go out and buy a 1 yr gold sub for xbox live, then you can play online etc

    1. Yes, you can use a lap top to connect to xbox live.


    2. It will not cost you any extra money other than an internet (ethernet) cable. You can find them at Best Buy and any store with a good tech. department.

    Hope this helps!How can i connect to xbox live?
    1. You can run an indirect connection through your laptop.


    2. A 360 cannot be directly connected to a phone jack. It uses an Ethernet cable which is larger than a phone cord and transfers more information at a higher rate. You need to connect your 360 to an Ethernet cable and then connect the cable to a modem or router. You have to set up and pay for internet service if you don't already have it.
    dude just buy a router their like 30$ and an ethernet cable. unless you have a wireless router then buy a wireless adapter for you're xbox. they're ****** pricy, buy an ethernet cable for like 15$ and just roll with it. Ive never herd of using a phone cable pluse isn't that thing to small for the port in the back of the xbox.

    Create wireless connection on desktop to connect xbox live?

    IM SO FED UP!!, i have a desktop connected to a fios(optic fiber) modem. so i have internet on the desktop, i also have a laptop which connects wirelessly to the fios modem so i have wireless connection as well. now i want to connect my xbox to the fios modem and its not going through, it shows that it wants to connect and then asks for an ip address. ive rebooted my modem a few times and no it doesnt help. i only have one network connection on my desktop and that is the local area connection (doesnt have the option to share connection). i was thinking of setting up a wireless connection and then ';allow sharing this connection etc.'; with that that option but i cant seem to figure out how to do it. any help to connect my xbox to the fios modem would be great help..

    How do I connect to Xbox Live through my PC?

    I have a Windows XP desktop and was wondering what I would need to do in order to connect my 360 to Xbox Live through it. This desktop is not actually directly connected to a router/modem and it gets internet connection wirelessly (from my linksys router).





    Currently I am able to connect to Live through my Vista laptop by bridging the LAN and wireless connections. This doesn't seem to work with the desktop. I opened NAT and whatever else is necessary on my router already so my router is fine. What settings would I have to change on my PC?How do I connect to Xbox Live through my PC?
    look up on the internet setting up ICS (internet connection sharing) for your xbox 360).





    i believe you need to tick a checkbox somewhere along the line.How do I connect to Xbox Live through my PC?
    Click Tools %26gt;Internet Options %26gt;Connections %26gt;Settings %26gt;Properties %26gt;Sharing.


    Then tick the box that says ';Allow other network users to connect through this computers internet connection';





    That should do it.

    How do you connect dial up with Xbox live? Could someone give me steps to doing this and not a video?

    I'm not trying to connect to a laptop, like a desktop computer, please help, and if you got something mean to say, tell it to your grandmaHow do you connect dial up with Xbox live? Could someone give me steps to doing this and not a video?
    You can't use Dial Up with XBOX Live. It must be broadband or other high speed internetHow do you connect dial up with Xbox live? Could someone give me steps to doing this and not a video?
    Step 1: Call your phone company and ask for DSL


    Step 2: Wait for someone to come and install your DSL


    Step 3: Hook your xbox 360 up to the DSL modem


    Step 4: Enjoy XBOX Live





    I don't think you can connect to xbox live on dialup. I don't really know what you would do with it. They don't even offer accounts to people who use a phone line because it is way too slow. If you were able to get on, I guess you could send text messages to others online like IM, but there is no game that would even let you play online with that slow of a connection. The NXE update alone would take you over an hour to download..... but then you wouldn't have anything to do with it.
    you can't do it. dial-up couldn't handle the 360. you need broadband, something with some speed.

    A router would work.


    If you use wire connection, you can use a router to create a wireless as well.


    You could also just connect a Xbox directly into a wired internet.


    So instead of trying to connect to a laptop, just connect to the internet via wire or wireless.How to connect to xbox live using mobile broadband?
    xbox live on mobile broadband? you will lag like crazy, dont ruin it for people that have real internet connections.
    Mobile internet access through broadband dongle can deliver speeds of up to 7.2Mbps.You can choose them from most popular providers shown like 3 Mobile, Vodafone,T-Mobile and Orange. Although the final transfer speeds may be decent, the downfall to using a 3G connection for gaming is your 鈥榩ing鈥? To get a lag-free experience on online games, you must need a ping of under 100ms, and on a 3G connection, the least ping you'd get is 300-400ms.








    1)First of all ,connect your desktop computer or laptop to internet with USB dongle.





    2)Connect your computer and Xbox with the Ethernet cable.





    3)Take Control Panel%26gt; Network and Sharing Center %26gt; Manage Network Connections





    4)Enable sharing on your internet connection.Also tick the checkbox for 'Allow other network users to connect through this computer's connection' and select 'Local Area Connection' for the 'Home networking connection' menu.





    5)Test your Xbox live connection and check whether it succeeds to connect to internet.(If not make both connections to public instead of private)





    6)If it fails again,then restart your PC first and then turn on your Xbox.(in case of dns failures)





    Mobile broadband internet providers use slightly different settings for these services than are used in normal ADSL or cable connections. The important difference is the Network Address Translation.This NAT is important as the Xbox live uses different ports than the standard ones used for internet.

    How to connect to Xbox live?!?

    Alright, before you think i'm an idiot, I'll tell you my really weird situation that hours of searching and xbox techs couldn't help me with.





    The short version of the story is this:


    I'm using my laptop to get on Live wirelessly. When I plug the ethernet cable between the xbox and the laptop, the laptop basically doesn't read it. It'll say network cable unplugged, or if I'm lucky, Unidentified network. I've tried several different ethernet cables, some brand new. I've even tried doing a manual IP address. Nothing seems to work. But then there are the times that it does connect, and it seems so random, it's almost like it's deciding on its own.


    Its just that this has been going on for months and it's really pissing me off since my Live subscription is going to waste.

    Connect to Xbox Live?

    For my bday I got an Xbox Live subscription but I need to know if it is possible to connect to live with a toshiba satellite laptop that is connected to the internet through wifi to a router. I have an ethrenet cable but it is not long enough to reach to my router which is on the other side of my parents house.

    How can I connect to Xbox Live?

    I need to connect my Xbox 360 to Xbox Live, but I need some help in figuring out how to do this.





    We currently have in our office - a gateway (I think or it could be just a modem, Xbox.com confused me about which is which) that is hooked to the cable and the phone jack (as we get our phone via cable) and has an ethernet connection to both our wireless router and the desktop computer. If it makes any difference, it's Mediacom cable with whatever the standard gateway/router whatever, and a Netgear 802.11G router for wireless.





    The problem is that where we have the Xbox is on the TV in the family room, which is on the same level but I don't want to run an ethernet cable from one room to another, although obviously there is also a standard coaxial cable input in the family room for the TV, and I could easily put in a splitter or something. My big question which Xbox.com doesn't answer - is there any way to connect the Xbox 360 to the cable input directly (although obviously there'd be an adaptor or something) without running something wired back to the gateway/modem in the office? I'm guessing no, but wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.





    Otherwise, it seems like my choice seems to be:


    Option 1) Simple and easy - buying a wireless adaptor for the Xbox (like this one - http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7457432%26amp;type=product%26amp;id=1126591945477 for about $100). For people who've used it, how does the Xbox run on wireless? Our network seems to be pretty good - at least for with my laptop, I seem to do pretty well being able to run streaming video from netflix upstairs without too much trouble (occasional freezes) - but I'm not sure if he really wants to play Halo 3 online at some point if that would work. Will it dramatically slow the wireless network for my laptop if he's using the Xbox at the same time? (This happens fairly often)





    or





    Option 2) Slightly more complicated - Buy a cable splitter, then move the modem/gateway and the wireless router to the family room, plugging the Xbox into the wired ethernet port, and then getting a wireless connection for the desktop. I don't feel comfortable installing a card into the desktop, but it looks like I can get a usb based adaptor for $35-50 bucks (also from best buy - http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=abcat0503007%26amp;type=category - Anyone have experience with them or advice over which to get?). That puts a lot of stuff feeding off that one cable output - the Faux Tivo and TV, as well as the Xbox, the phone, and the wireless -, but I don't think that should be a problem as it's all just wired to the same connection box when it comes into the house anyway (right?). Besides being cheaper (probably less than $50 all together to do that), as we rarely use the desktop and the laptop at the same time, it wouldn't run into the two wireless devices at the same time problem, which I think slows the system (although that could be entirely wrong). Is there anything about having all that (including the phone) on the same jack that I should worry about? Does the modem or the wireless router need to directly wired to a computer to control them? I seem to remember doing some stuff with the desktop to set them up, but I know they both work if the desktop is off currently.

    Option 3) Use a wireless laptop and Internet sharing





    OR





    Option 4) Use a Wireless ethernet Bridge.15 - 30 $





    And NO there is nothing that connects ethernet to cable like the modem
    well to sum everything u just said up to a easy simple choice for u to make sense ur the one that's going to play it is





    1.wireless is easier to deal with but u run the risk for having a bad connection,(lag), even if another player has bad connection ur xbox will suffer as well.





    2. cable, more of a pain to deal with, never have lag in ur connection fast updates and downloads.





    for ur gaming experience i would go with the cable.
    i would do wireless.. i would get a better router if thats the problem or the connection by your modem.... Try Finding a Gaming Router(better download speeds,connections,(etc.) or find a A router similar to b+g but a/b/g will work perfect also... i would not do option number 2 .... might be lacking connection

    Since it sounds like you have a wireless router the easiest way to go wireless on a 360 is by using the wireless adapter made for the 360. That way you wouldn't have the hassle of powering up your laptop and your 360. Windows Media player has a feature that lets you connect to you 360 but it's only for streaming your music, photos and perhaps some internet content.

    In theory , yes u can. You need to create a network bridge in network connections in windows. One word of warning: it never, ever works properly :( i also think you will need a crossover (not str8 thru) ethernet cable to do this
    Xbox live is a network, not something in your ethernet cable. There maybe parts of xbox live you can access over the internet, but xbox live is for xboxes. In order to access xbox live, you have to be running the xbox BIOS. When you mod an xbox, you no longer running a ';BIOS';. thats why people can no longer use moded xboxes over xbox live.
    if you are trying to hook up to xbl by using you laptop as a router then yes connect to a wifi then go in to Network Connections high light ever thing in there and right click and go to bridge connection and now hook the Ethernet cable from the 360 to the laptop and sign in to live

    How do you setup an ICS connection for xbox live and a laptop?

    Ive got a 12 month subscription to xbox live and a laptop with windows vista. I saw on xbox live support that you can use an ICS connection to connect to it. How do you setup it? i have no clue. Ive got my ethernet cord thingy then what do i do next?





    Thanks to everyone that helps!How do you setup an ICS connection for xbox live and a laptop?
    Using ICS (Internet Connection Sharing)


    In this article


    How does ICS work?


    Enabling ICS


    Configure TCP/IP


    ICS and VPN connections


    ICS and ad hoc networks





    If you want to share one Internet connection among several computers, you have two options:





    Use Internet Connection Sharing (ICS).





    Use a router.





    For information about using a router, see Setting up a home network.





    How does ICS work?


    First, you need one computer, called the host computer, that is connected to the Internet and that has a separate connection to the other computers on your network. You enable ICS on the Internet connection. The other computers on your network then connect to the host computer, and from there to the Internet through the host computer's shared Internet connection.











    A network using Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)





    Enabling ICS


    To enable ICS, on your host computer:





    Click to open Network Connections.





    Right-click the connection that you want to share, and then click Properties. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.





    Click the Sharing tab, and then select the Allow other network users to connect through this computer鈥檚 Internet connection check box.





    Note


    The Sharing tab will not be available if you have only one network connection.





    If desired, you can also select the Allow other network users to control or disable the shared Internet connection check box.





    Optionally, to allow other network users to use services running on your network, click Settings and select the services you want to allow.





    When you enable ICS, your local area network (LAN) connection gets a new static IP address and configuration, so you'll need to reestablish any TCP/IP connections between your host computer and the other network computers.





    To test your network and Internet connection, see if you can share files between computers and make sure each computer can reach a website.





    Configure TCP/IP


    To use ICS, make sure the local area network (LAN) connection on each network computer is configured to get an IP address automatically. To do this:





    Click to open Network Connections.





    Right-click the LAN connection, and then click Properties. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.





    Click Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) or Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6), and then click Properties.





    Click Obtain an IP address automatically or Obtain an IPv6 address automatically.





    The Internet options on your network computers should also be configured for ICS. For more information, see Change Internet settings for ICS (Internet Connection Sharing).





    Do not use ICS on a network with domain controllers, DNS servers, gateways, or DHCP servers. And don't use ICS on systems configured for static IP addresses.





    ICS and VPN connections


    If you create a virtual private network (VPN) connection on your host computer to a corporate network and then enable ICS on that connection, all Internet traffic is routed to the corporate network and all of the computers on your home network can access the corporate network. If you don't enable ICS on the VPN connection, other computers will not have access to the Internet or corporate network while the VPN connection is active on the host computer.





    ICS and ad hoc networks


    If you share your Internet connection on an ad hoc network, ICS will be disabled if:





    You disconnect from the ad hoc network.





    You create a new ad hoc network without disconnecting from the ad hoc network for which you enabled ICS.





    You log off and then log back on (without disconnecting from the ad hoc network).

    Laptop PCI Sprint Internet card / Xbox Live Question?

    Although I've seen similar questions, I haven't seen this exact one.





    I have a laptop with an internet connection through a Sprint PCI card (it's the only internet we can get, we live in the middle of nowhere). My laptop has Microsoft Vista. I wish to connect my Xbox to the computer, using that to connect to Xbox Live. I am not very good with computers, so if you have a answer on how to do this, could you please put it in clear, easy steps?





    Thanks.Laptop PCI Sprint Internet card / Xbox Live Question?
    You can hook up your 360 to your laptop easily by bridging the connection. Hook up your 360 to the ethernet port on your laptop using any ethernet cable you can find. Go to 'Network Connections' on your Vista PC (One way to get there is click start, control panel, Network and Internet, Network and Sharing Center. On the left will be a link for 'manage network Connections, click that.)





    Highlight both your Wireless connection and Local area connection. Right click, and select bridge connections. Let windows do its thing for a minute and new connection called 'network bridge' will appear. Reboot your 360 and you're done. The bridge is in place until you manually delete it so you only have to set it up once.

    People said previously that you cannot connect it to your laptop to get a wireless connection,but you actually can.All that you need to do is get an Ethernet Cable hook it up to your 360 and to your Ethernet port on your laptop.Then look at the wireless connection on your laptop into wireless setting,then it will scan for items hooked up to it.It will see the xbox.then on the bottom of the screen it should say bridge connection.click that then it should give you a connection to the 360.How to connect to xbox live dirrectly?
    you have to make sure you have a wireless router and its working then you plug an ethernet cable directly into xbox and the other end into you wireless router you shouldnt need to plug anything into you computer
    Same thing. I had to hook my Ethernet cable derictley to the router for it to work.
    im not sure but i think there might be a way to do it if you have wireless internet on your laptop.


    hook the Ethernet cable to the xbox and the laptop and connect to your wireless network with your laptop and if might recognize the xbox and ask u if you wanna connect to it and/or change settings or something and you might be able to do it that way.
    you cant dude, at least not thought ur labtop...

    Connect the 360 to the laptop with the ethernet cable then run network setup on the laptop and be sure to allow other computers (360 ) to connect to the internet through that laptop internet connection. (when you run network connection on the laptop you'll need to be connected to the internet at the time.





    Then run network setup for a wired connection on the 360 if you haven't already done so..


    You may need to enable network connection on the 360 before you run setup on the laptop.

    You can either run an ethernet cable from your router to your Xbox 360, or if you want to use it wireless you can invest in the Xbox 360 wireless network adapter..approx $80.How do I connect to xbox live???
    What he said.





    But I suggest wiring it, because $100 for a wireless adapter is a complete ripoff.
    either run an ethernet cord to the router, or buy a wireless adapter, i recommend the Xbox 360 wireless adapter.





    you should check your Linksys Advisor to see if the ';Box'; is connecting correctly.

    Xbox live has strict nat when connected through laptop wirelessly. how do i open it?

    I use internet connection sharing (check the box under properties) to connect my xbox 360 to my laptop (hp pavilion dv8100us). with a crossover ethernet cable ive opened the ports (linksys router) for both tcp and udp (3074,88,53) maybe i have to open others?


    anyways, i have read online something about bridging the connections would make my nat open and i tried that but when i did that, even my laptop can't connect to the internet much less xbox live. ive tried to be as specific as possible so if anyone needs more info to help, id gladly post it. thanks a lot!!Xbox live has strict nat when connected through laptop wirelessly. how do i open it?
    Don't bother with bridging, or with Internet connection sharing -- you're complicating things way too much. Instead, connect both the Xbox and the laptop directly to your router (either wired or wireless). This is simpler and also more flexible.





    Once you do this, you will be able to set up your router to forward the correct ports to your Xbox.Xbox live has strict nat when connected through laptop wirelessly. how do i open it?

    I assume you're talking about bridging a wireless network to your Xbox through your laptop. You'll need to choose their network on your laptop the first time you connect to it - they may have a password on it that you would need. It will find the IP automatically after you select the correct network. After the first time, it should connect automatically each time after that.Connecting to xbox live with a laptop?

    Xbox live through laptop?

    how can i take my laptop that is connected to the internet wirelessly and connect my xbox 360 to it to get xbox live? When i try to enable internet connection sharing it says a lan connection is already configured with the IP address that is required for automatic IP addressing. And when i bridge my wireless connection with either the local area connection or 1394 connection all it does is make my wireless connection not work. Does anyone know how to do this? My router is downstairs and i would really like to not have to pay $100 for the xbox wireless adapterXbox live through laptop?
    (to the person above me:) it isn't the cable. it is an IP conflict between the wireless router and the laptop. crossover cables matter when you are bridging. not using ICS.





    You are attempting to do it the right way. try to do Internet connection Sharing (on the wireless connection, which will provide internet to anything hooked up by ethernet). After it gives you the 'ip address conflict' notification, go to the LAN connection settings - right click it and click properties. go to tcp/ip configuration, and manually specify your IP address to be either 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 (whichever ip your wireless router is NOT).





    this should fix it... but tell us the make and model of your router so if necessary people can be more specific.Xbox live through laptop?
    your computer should automatically detect all nesecarry settings assuming your running xp or better. your problem probably lies in the cable your trying to use i bet your trying to use a patch cable which is meant to be run from a computer to a router or switch, to connect 2 comps directly you nee a crossover cable. go to a local comp shop and I bet they will make you one for $5 - $10. that should solve your problem.

    There is an IP adress conflict with another system on the network-- trying to connect xbox 360 via laptop?

After making the bridge connection, i try to connect to live and it dosen't connect, and on my laptop it says ';there is an IP adress conflict with another system on the network';. I disabled my firewall on my wireless laptop and it still dosent connect. Does anyone know what to do? If you do could you please give step by step instructions on how to fix this? Thanks.There is an IP adress conflict with another system on the network-- trying to connect xbox 360 via laptop?
    You used the same ip address on both your laptop and Xbox. Dont do that. IP addresses need to be different on each device in your network. Change the ip address you input on your Xbox to one that isn't being used.There is an IP adress conflict with another system on the network-- trying to connect xbox 360 via laptop?
    Somewhere, somehow, there is another system that has been given the IP address you are trying to use. It is probably online at the same time. Use another IP address, one that is considerably different on the last number....
    I would change all ip addresses to static IP's so you don't ever have to worry about IP conflicts. google how to set static ips for computers and xbox.

    Connecting to Xbox Live through a Verizon Wireless PC Card + Ethernet Cable From Xbox-Laptop, using Vista.?

    I know there is a guide somewhere on the internet about how to do this, just running the ethernet cable from my laptop to my xbox, with it connected to the internet through the pc card. Please answer and I'll give you a hug.Connecting to Xbox Live through a Verizon Wireless PC Card + Ethernet Cable From Xbox-Laptop, using Vista.?
    You could probably use the Internet Connection Sharing, You use the PC as the host computer to share your connection with. You then setup the X Box as a client in order to get a connection.


    See Internet Connection Sharing in Help and Support and X Box Live support at the bottom.

    More information would be helpful. Explain exactly HOW you are currently connected to the internet with your laptop at this moment in time.





    Tell me about all the wires starting with the ones coming from the wall and what each wire is and what it plugs in to. I'd also like to know the model of your modem and router (if you have one).





    Update your question with these details and I'll answer it.





    NEW: That sounds like it could be a problem. I will assume the cable you mentioned is an ethernet cord. I take it that you have already tried connecting it to the xbox 360 and tried to go online with it but it didn't work?





    When you want to go on the Internet on your laptop, do you have to open up Internet Explorer up first, then type in a password and username given to you by the university before you can start browing?How can i connect to xbox live at student halls accomadation at uni?
    You most likely can't. Most universities block services like Xbox Live and the PSN because they pull down the connection for the entire school. Also, they don't want you playing instead of working on your studies. Make sure you check with your school's rules on such services as most have it written somewhere that you can't use them. If you try to and they find out (which they can and will), you may put your school life at risk and Live is not worth messing up your education.


    If you want to play against other people, I suggest setting up a group or play night for your dorm. Tons of people usually join these things as it's a good way to break from studying and have a little fun.

    Yes there are alot of problems you can run into by doing that crap! Try resetting the router. Try restarting the computer. Try repair connection. If none of those work, do the smart thing and go out and buy a wireless ADAPTER! You wouldn't buy a wireless router to hook into your Xbox, thats not what it is called.

    I'm not quite sure what you mean about having to connect a laptop first. What I do is connect my xbox to my broadband router with an ethernet cable. And I have not been experiencing problems lately.





    And if you mean you use ur laptop as a bridge connection for Xbox360 live then you can instead of plugging it into a laptop, just plug it straight into the port that your laptop is connected to (on the broadband box, or whtever) This may also get rid of ur problems with connecting to live.

    If you have a laptop or PC that uses a wireless connection, you can utilize the spare ethernet port to tunnel the internet into your 360 via a simple ethernet cable.

  • Xbox Live to an Acer Laptop?

    Okay, I need to know how to connect to Xbox Live using my laptop, I have the Cable that came with it connected from my Xbox to my Laptop, then my Laptop is connected to the internet, where do I go from there? I keep testing the connection and it says it can't be established. My computer is even recognizing I've connected it, but when I click the Xbox icon, it sends me to my music. Little help, please?Xbox Live to an Acer Laptop?
    First go buy a ';crossover Cable'; Which is about 10 to 15 bucks depending on the length. IT MUST BE A CROSSOVER CABLE or else it will not work. The ethernet cable that comes with the xbox is a ';Patch Cable'; which will not work!





    After you are sure you have a crossover cable connect your xbox to your computer and turn them both on and make sure your computer connects to the internet. Now on your computer Right click the network icon in the bottom right of your screen and click either network and sharing center or networks. (Something along those lines) After you have it open to where you can see both the wireless connection and the ethernet connection then highlight them both. Now right click one of them and push ';Bridge Connections';


    Now let windows do its thing then test the XBL connection.





    Most of the time this will work. If it doesn't then you will need a Static IP for your xbox which requires more messing around. try this first and message me if you cannot figure it out.





    Good Luck!
