[SOLVED] xbox 360 sharing internet with laptop

amdfanboy · 04-23-2009, 02:43 PM

I have a wireless router far away from my laptop, and 360 so I used an ethernet cable going from my laptop to my 360. It passed the connection test, and told me to update live so I accepted the update, and then I get a screen saying:"

Can't download the update. To test your connection, open system settingsand select network settings, test xbox live connection.

Every time I test the live connection it goes to the update thing, and says can't download.

Help is really appreciated.

Hi, amdfanboy.

I'm very unaware of 360's and very not-likey Microsoft so please excuse what may be a stupid question:

Does Microsoft by chance give out discs to put into your 360 to update instead of only via Internet? if so, the problem could just be a weird glitch for now. Has anyone else been having troubles with the latest updates?

not sure, but I just fixed it. I just decided to go to my account on the 360, and click join xbox live or something, and then it completed downloading the update. Thanks though.

Yeah, no problem. Happy to help (I guess?), lol.
