Uhm…how do I do this on Windows Vista? I plug in the ethernet cable, go to Network and Sharing Center, Next to Motorola (name of wireless network) I click view staus, click the properties button that has a shield next to it, go to the sharing tab, check the box that says “Allow other network users to connect through this computer’s Internet Connection” and press O.K.

Then I get a message that says “An error occured when Internet Connection Sharing was being enabled”

now, I *thought* CJ or Jeremy had problems close but they were different. I didn’t have the extended error Jeremy had. So, erm…to put things simply…wtf?

There is another method of connecting your Xbox 360 to your PC. It’s called a ‘bridge’. Here’s how:

1) Go to the ‘manage network connections’ area (but don’t plug in the ethernet cable yet!)
2) Hold down the ‘ctrl’ key and click on ‘wireless connection’ and then ‘local area connection’.
3) Both of these icons should now be highlighted. Right click over one of these icons and select ‘bridge connection’.
4) Wait 30 seconds. You should hopefully get a new icon ‘network bridge’.
5) Your laptop internet should still be working and the ‘local area connect’ symbol should still be ‘disconnected’. If not, give it a few minutes, then right click on the ‘wireless connection’, click ‘properties’ and then click ‘okay’. This should hopefully get everything working.
6) Plug the ethernet cable into your xbox 360 and laptop ethernet ports.
7) Turn your xbox on and leave it in dashboard. The xbox live connection may fail at this point. Try right clicking on the ‘local area connection’ then ‘properties’ then click ‘okay’.
Xbox live should be working at this point. Try to sign into live.

John J, when working correctly, the Xbox 360 should connect every time without further configuring. Is the Xbox 360 network settings set to automatic?
