Connecting to Xbox Live through my Laptop?

I have a HP Pavilion tx 1000 Laptop running Vista Home Premium with a wireless network connection. When I follow the instructions in the Xbox instruction manual, it says to connect to Xbox Live through my computer, I must enable Internet Connection Sharing on my computer. I don't know how to do this, or whether I am doing something else wrong. Could anybody give me an idea of what to do?Connecting to Xbox Live through my Laptop?

Yes you can do that using internet sharing but internet sharing or ICS creates duplicate ip addresses so once you use your laptop for internet while on live, it gets disconnected, your best bet is to create a wireless bridge between your laptop and your xbox 360, i personally do so and it works fine, i can browse while playing online and so on.





You can learn to bridge on this site which also has pics to guide you

Bridging is also helpful because you can access all your files in your My Music Folder or My Pictures folder, if you have windows media player.





This way you can stream music, pictures and videos from your laptop.





To enable your xbox 360 to view the items in you Windows Media Player, go to your windows media player when connected on the bridge then click on tools, then options then go to the library tab, then click on configure sharing then click on the xbox 360 icon and click on allow.





Now you can stream all the music, videos and pictures from your laptop to your 360 and you can also use xbox live just by bridging.





To watch videos just create a folder in your my music folder and add videos to it. Then you watch in on your tv using your xbox 360. Same goes for viewing pictures.





Bridging also works on desktops too.
i have the exact same laptop. at the bottom riight corner there should be a two computers back to back or one little computer icon. double click this icon. then two words connect or disconnect wil pop up. your laptop should pick up the x box. if not then you have a problem with your x box live. when you click on connect, a list should come up. find x box then it will ask for what type of network is the x box , public or home. choose home. then a list will come up and you will have to tick off if you want it or not. one will be network sharing hope this helped
start%26gt;network%26gt;network and sharing center%26gt; select you network%26gt; view status%26gt; properties%26gt;sharing tab%26gt; select allow other computer to access the internet through the network.
