hi i just got a xbox for christmas and want to hook it up to xbox live, and i dont want to dish out the $100 for the wireless adapter, anyways my computer with the wireless router is downstairs and my computer is upstairs with a wireless card in it, i hook the xbox up the computer upstairs with the cable and it keeps failing the ip address, i am getting so pissed at this it gets a ip address and everything it just doesnt have the gateway thing... so can you help me???
I just shelled out for the wireless adapter the day I got my 360. Also, the reason that it is saying IP adress failed is because your computer shares the same IP address as the one that would be used by the 360. This is why it is failing.
pay 50$ and buy a xbox 1 wireless adapter which works and then you will be good. Or directly connect with internet cable

Yup, this also works. I had an xbox 1 adapter before I just shelled 100 bones to get the 360 one because it looks better and saves room/ doesnt need a power supply.
And you could probably get one second hand for like 25 bucks.Another alternative is looking for a 360 wireless adapter second hand; you could snag one for like 40 bucks.
no it has its own ip address i even check all the computers they r all different, on the ip address setting it has no gateway address thing put in, how do i fix that??

what i did to get online with no wireless adapter on window xp was goto start then control panel then click network connections then right click on the wireless network connections and click on properties once there click on advanced and click on the alllow other network users to connection through this computer internet connections then click ok and then plug ur xbox 360 into the PC with the ethernet cable and thats how i saved $100 cuz i didnt need to buy a adapter and it worked to lol

In order to accomplish what you're doing, you need to set up ICS(Internet connection sharing) on the PC and set the ethernet adapter as a bridge.
Pelican sells 2 25 foot Ethernet cables and a connector to make them 50 feet put together. I found one last week at Best Buy for $ 20.99, I think. That's how I have mine hooked up, although I have to disconnect it every time I'm not using it, seeing as I've already broken my elbow into like 6 pieces because of a wire. (In case you didn't figure it out, I'm a completel klutz...)
