| 679300 | 2008-06-17 06:51:00 | Can you describe what it is or isnt doing? It it picking the wireless up on the Xbox or cant it find it? | password (5384) | ||
| 679301 | 2008-06-17 06:58:00 | We plug the network cable from the xbox into the laptop, and it reads the connection on the laptop, but on the xbox, it comes up with the massage that the connection has failed -the IP address that it has, does not match the linksys IP adress. We manually put the IP address in, but to no avail | arko (9074) | ||
| 679302 | 2008-06-17 07:06:00 | So have you got it going like this... Internet->Wireless modem->Laptop (over wireless)->Xbox(wired)? |

| 679305 | 2008-06-17 07:25:00 | Umm wouldnt it have to go thru the wireless modem not the laptop?? For the Xbox to work? Since the laptop is connected through the modem?? To get onto the internet If youre connecting the xbox to the laptop (with ethernet, if this is what you mean, it'll be better if its plugged into the modem, if its got 4 ports on it). But then, whats the point of using wireless? It shouldnt need both WHAT (ips etc) did you put in the Xbox?? For the wireless? And what did you point it to?? The modem (where it'll probably work), or the laptop (which I dont think will work) This The IP address that it has, does not match the linksys IP adress Probably means you're trying to connect it through/from the laptop, not the modem/router |

| 679306 | 2008-06-17 08:01:00 | At the moment the xbox is connected to the 4 port modem via the ethernet cable without a problem, but as it is a pain having to run the cable over the floor, we thought that we could connect to the modem via the laptop. I typed in the linksys ip addess:http://192.168.1.1/ in the manual setup on the xbox, but to no avail. Also tried to bridge the connections through the net connections window in control panel (as per a web site) but no good as well. Might be in the too hard basket | arko (9074) | ||
| 679307 | 2008-06-17 08:32:00 | Whats the router connected to?? Something else besides the Xbox and laptop? If theres a 3rd PC (which should be connected via ethernet to the router), thats what you use to login to the router I dont think it'll work if you go through the laptop either with ethernet or wireless. The router would have to be configured with the Xbox ports (if there's any), so whatever you want to do will work |

| 679308 | 2008-06-17 09:17:00 | You could potentially make this work by setting up Internet Connection Sharing on the wireless port of the laptop - the laptop would then become a router itself, with the Xbox as a client via the wired conection. Mind you, that's the setup I wouldn't touch with a bargepole. Find a cable that will let the Xbox directly connect to the router & save yourself some grief. |
