Does anyone know how to properly set up a 360 Live connection through a PC using Internet Connection Sharing? I can't get it to work for the live of me.

 

[Speevy]

This is how I do it.

Phone cord from wall to computer, ethernet cable from computer to 360.

Programs - Accessories - Communications - Home Networking Wizard

Follow the wizard, step by step. It should find that the 360 is connected and share as though it's another computer.

What is your setup?

I have Internet on LAN1, and Xbox 360 on LAN2 with a crossver cable. ICS on LAN1.

I'd imagine it would be the same as regular Xbox (my setup)

X360 -> Crossover Cable -> PC -> Ethernet Cable -> Router/Modem/Whathaveyou

Run ICS wizard, voila

Can you daisy chain ICS if you have two computers and an Xbox?

How are you setting ICS up?


Should be:

1) Broadband connection > modem > computer.

2) ethernet card > crossover cable (ethernet cable with reverse wiring) > Xbox 360.

Can you daisy chain ICS if you have two computers and an Xbox?

Yes. You need a ethernet card + crossover cable for every device you want to hookup for ICS.


Example:

1) Computer main > ethernet card #1 > crossover cable #1 > Xbox 360

2) Computer main > ethernet card #2 > crossover cable #2 > computer #2

And etc.


In end, it's better to buy $50 router.

I would like to set up an ICS this way:

Cable > Modem > Wireless Router > Wireless Card=PC=Network Card > 360 (via crossover cable)


But I dont think you can set XP up to share a Wireless connection.

You're not running a router by chance are you Killjoy?

Oh crap. I'm just using the ethernet cord from the 360 box. I'll assume its not a crossover.

Yea, i am on a router.
