Ok so I just got my 360 and I'm finding it extremely hard to get it connected to Xbox Live. I'm trying to share my internet connection with my computer so I have my 360 connected to the Ethernet port in my comp and my comp connected to my modem via USB. When I run the Xbox Live test it gets to the IP Address test and then fails. I've checked all the xbox forums I can find and none seem to have a solution to my problem so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I have the same set-up as you and I solved my problem by running the Network Setup Wizard in the Control Panel. When you have your xbox connected directly to your computer you have to set up a network via the setup wizard. I hope that helps
Sorry I'm not an expert on this stuff and I've never connected my 360 through a PC, but you could try disabling windows firewall since it might be blocking your 360. You've also tried configuring everything manually? (IP, subnet, default gateway and DNS)
I have a seperate firewall that I have already disabled and I have tried to put everything in manually where should I look for the microsoft firewall though
Ok there is no security menu in my control panel by the way thank you both for your helpgatzmyer
Do you have admin rights on your computer? If you don't then the icon may be hidden since your account wouldn't be allowed to change settings like that.
