Ok, I follo0wed your tutorial on haw to use laptop for your xbox wireless connection and ive run into a snag. I followed your directions to the t but its just not working. The LAN just says network cable unplugged. I'm using windowws vista on a Dell purple netbook. I really need help. I also am using a community network that is being broadcasted for free by the people who own my apartment complex. I would greatly appreciate the help. I aslo tried the bridge thing but still no luck
Your computer might have 2 LAN ports. Make sure you're selecting the one that you are plugged into when you bridge or use my method. If you only have 1 LAN port, you might have some virtual ports, and may be accidentally trying to use those. If you only have 1 Local Area Network Connection thing in your connections manager, then the cable might be broken.
Yeah, there's only 1 LAN thing in my connections manager and only one LAN port on my laptop. Is there like a specific type of cable that i need? I also have the most recent update on my xbox. Its not the new xbox slim. I got the update form the Kinect. I'm thinking, quite possibly, the update might be what's to blame? There's also a thing in my connection manger labeled MSN? I apologize for bombarding you with so many questions; I just really want to get this to work. SO you think getting a new cable would be the most probable solution?
yeah same here. i went through all the steps on how to bridge the connections to and all that but when i try to test the connection on my 360 it tells me that it cant obtain an ip? what do i do?
Hey walamoonbeam, I want to bridge my laptop to my 360. I dont have internet, I use my meighbors wifi. Is it still possible for me to get this to work and get on xbox live? I'd love any help you can give.
