Sharing my wireless connection with my 360

markbw85 · 06-02-2008, 08:56 PM

Hello All,

I am attempting to share my wireless connection on my PC running vista with my Xbox 360. I have seen this done on youtube videos and heard about it from many people. As I understand the process, I should be able to share my wireless connection and connect to xbox live through an ethernet cord plugged into my open ethernet slot.

My problem is that when I attempt to share the wireless connection I get an error that says:

"An error occurred while Internet Connection Sharing was being enabled"

There is no error code. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Any ideas on how to fix it?

Thanks

I was able to fix the problem simply by bridging the connection between my wireless and lan connections. I did not need to enable sharing in any form. Hope this helps with anyone else that might have this problem.

Actually, bridging the connection did not solve the problem. It allowed me to sign into xbox live but not use. Other people could see that i was indeed online but i can not play with others because i do not pass the ip test. not really sure how to go about fixing this.
