dicedice445 · 11-24-2007, 09:08 PM

i was trying to use my laptop to share its internet connection with my 360

when i plug the network cable in on my laptp aim continues to work but firefox won't load pages

the network test on the 360 says i pass everything but the dns settings

has anyone else had this problem and or know a solution?

Go to network connections> right click properties on the connection you're using> advanced tab> enable ICS (internet connection sharing)

i've done that the problem is that the xbox doesn't get the dns settings automatically and plugging in the Ethernet cable causes me to lose internet in firefox
