Xbox 360 networking with Vista ( Help Please!! )

EEEZNOW · 01-06-2008, 09:40 PM

I have been looking for an answer to this for weeks now. I think I have read everything on the internet. I need some help......

I have a laptop with Windows VISTA that I connect to the Internet through my Samsung Blackjack Cell phone ( internet sharing with Windows Mobile ) that connects via USB. I have no other choice at my current location, it is pretty fast though.

I have an Xbox 360 that I am tryin to connect to Xbox Live. I have a crossover and ethernet cable. The Xbox fails the IP Address test every time.

I have tried to set up the Internet Connection sharing through the network and sharing center but the following message appears:
Error occured while trying to enable Internet Connection Sharing

I also tried to bridge the connections, the Xbox Passes the IP test, but I lose my internet connection.

I thank you guys in advance, maybe you can help me not to start smashing them with a hammer.......

Hi man, this is a link to the microsoft page that describes how to make this connection happen. I hope this helps out and good luck .

Edit:Here is another one from an outside source, I realise that this is to connect through media center on vista but if this is configured properly your xbox should be fine.
