Title: Computer people - I need some help with connection sharing!
Post by: _tom_ on September 03, 2007, 11:10:48 PM

I'm trying to share my wireless connection from my laptop with my Xbox 360 via an ethernet cable, so I can connect to xbox live. I found this guide - http://www.jakeludington.com/xbox/20061208_xbox_network_connection_sharing.html

I've connected everything up but I dont have the "Internet Connection Sharing" section in my wireless network connection advanced properties. Any ideas why? If it makes any difference my router is a BT Business Hub 948 with 2-wire gateway whatever that means. I thought that maybe I dont need to do that, but it wont work still. Maybe I need a different type of ethernet cable? I'm just using the one that came with the 360..

Cheers!

Never mind I sorted it out. Cant exactly remember what I did but it involved setting up a network bridge, now my connections bit looks like this -

(it says a network cable is unplugged as the xbox isnt on atm) Saved me £40 on the wireless adaptor!
