Xbox 360 Networking.

Are you sure you have the correct wire? Hub to computer connections use different wires then computer to computer connections.

You can make a cut/tape DIY crossover cable from a normal one, I suggest light-fixture connections. I don't know if this is an optimal solution, probably not, but it works just fine for my 100Mb connection.

I know for sure that regular Xbox-computer connection required a crossover cable, so the 360 probably requires this too.

Google?

I'm pretty sure this was covered in a detailed thread in the Networking forum..

Try changing the routers IP to 192.168.1.100, IIRC ICS hands 192.168.0.1 to the network card that you have the XBOX connected to.

Don't you have a router. I thought the only way you could play online through a PC ethernet was with XBoxConnect. I haven't experimented though so I'm not sure.

Right, after hours of messing around I finally got it working.

You need to use ICS, not a network bridge.

Firstly, ICS requires that IP 192.168.0.1 is free, by default my router is that IP. So, I changed my router IP to 192.168.1.1

Then, I altered my 3 PC's to have IP's of 192.168.1.2/3/4 (Putting them on 192.168.0.2/3/4 resulted in timing out when I tried to access anything - Can anyone tell me why?)

Then, using a cross over ethernet cable I bought, I connected the Xbox360 to my onboard NIC. I set that NIC IP to 192.168.0.2, it's gateway to 192.168.1.1, and the DNS server to 192.168.1.1

At the Xbox end I set it's IP to 192.168.0.3, gateway 192.168.0.2 and the DNS server to 192.168.1.1

AFTER all that, it worked!!!! 8O

Ahh, thanks for the link. I really need to get up to speed with networking.

So, from what I posted, is everything set up as bast as I can?
