My computer uses wireless internet but also has a built-in network card. The only possible way to get internet on my Xbox 360 is by using Internet Connection Sharing. I have a piece of crossover cable but keep getting an IP error. Any guides for setting this up?
when i first got my 360 i had to do it the same way if i remember correctly you have to go on your internet setting and allow the xbox to share a connection.i got the info on the x box website might want to check there
here is the link http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/connecttolive/xbox360/connectionmethods/windowsics-internalmodem.htm sorry if you have to paste and copy
I'd like some info on this too plase, though I want it for my PS3 (the wireless in the ps3 is rubbish) I imagine the method is the same when fiddling with settings on the ps3

ok, you ain't explaining much, i'm thinking you've got a notebook computer, though you might have a desktop but pci wifi cards are more of a rarity. Depending on whether you have win xp or vista it can be a bit tricky or very very difficult... xp has an easier way to configure network connections... all you do is go to your network connections, find the wifi card, right click it go into properties, go to the last tab "advanced" and select where it says allow other network users to..blah blah blah, select ok and it'll now assign a static ip address to your NIC. Then, if you want to share files to your 360, remember to set that up using windows media player, though a bit of a downside is you need to enable UPnP. This all works fine with the windows firewall running so it should give you no issues, but if it does just remember to disable it before you game...
