oh, youll need a lan nic, and a wireless nic(or adapter w/e) and regular old cat5e cable to do this.i dont know why some people say you need a crossover.
first, on ur pc/laptop go to internet connections, right click on your wireless connection.
click properties.
under the advanced tab on the top enable internet sharing and allow users to change settings.
close that.
connect your 360 to your nic on ur pc/laptop and power up the 360. it might or might not immediately enable the connection, if not manually do so.
now find your lan connection under internet connections. double click it. you should of received 192.168.0.1 for an ip address. 255.255.255.0 for subnet address. default gateway should be blank. if the above info isnt the same then manually change it by going to properties>tcp/ip> manually enter ip address. do not input dns. leave it blank.
now on your 360 console dashboard, goto system>network settings>edit settings.
youll see basic settings. underneath that you will see your ip settings. you might already have an ip, if so press b to go back a page and scroll to test xboxlive connection. select. it might hang for a little while on mtu, and icmp, just let it do its thing. if your connection is good you should be able to successfully connect to xbox live, your ready to go. if not, you might have firewall/router issues. if you dont think its the router or firewall follow the next set of instructions.
the first set of instructions worked when i set up my friends 360, but didnt for me. you can try this.
go back to the dashboards network settings, edit, ip address. enter a manual ip of 192.168.0.240, a subnet of 255.255.255.0 and gateway of 192.168.0.1.
goto dns servers below, change to manual and enter 192.168.0.1 it should say that anyway but type it in just the same and then in the secondary field type 000.000.000.000. if it gives you an error, change back to automatic. this works, even tho it sounds silly.
you should automatically be good to go. if not disable both wireless and lan on ur pc from network connections and then in this order re-enable; wireless, lan.
hope this works for everyone else, as it has worked on 4 360's for me.
if you have any troubles with this email me at

i think another helpful hint to get ICS working (google is my best friend) is to set your LAN Ip to autoconfigure to 192.168.1.1 instead of it being at 192.168.0.1
this will DEF. help you cause as soon as i changed that, it connected

An error occured while Internet Connection Sharing was enabled.
Internet Connection Sharing cannot be enabled
A LAN connection is already configured with the IP address
that is required for automatic IP sharing.

I'm stuck with how to connect from my wireless laptop to my xbox 360, i get the same error when trying to use the internet connection sharing... Any ideas?
A bit more detail...!
What is your setup?
ie: x360--->wireless router---->laptop
Post by: woodymoh on April 02, 2008, 02:05:00 PM
ive tried bridging the connections aswell but to no avail.
heres my setup
Netgear Wireless ADSL Router/Modem----------Wireless Laptop with 1GBit LAN PORT-----Xbox 360 connected via Ethernet to Laptop LAN port.
ive changed the routers ip address to 192.168.0.100, tried sharing the wireless connection(tickng both boxes) but i get:
An error occurred while Internet Connection Sharing was being enabled.
Internet Connection Sharing cannot be enabled.
A LAN connection is already configured with the IP address that is required for automatic IP addressing.
Inspected the router n it hasnt assigned the 192.168.0.1 address to another device. and ive configured the router to give addresses out from 192.168.0.1. or should i change that?
:(any help would be most appreciated people!

alrighty....all of this seems like a good idea, but i have another scenario; what if your computer doesnt have an Ethernet port? yes its really old. i know.
heres my setup; I have a wireless DSL modem downstairs that broadcasts a wireless signal through the house. My computer upstairs picks it up via a wireless USB adapter. My question is this; is there any way to use that same USB adapter and somehow use it on my Xbox 360 so that it can tap into my wireless network? i probably would need drivers for my 360, and if so, where could i get them?

I have a wireless laptop connected to my router through wireless of course ,which has Media center on it...Then i have my XBOX360 and my Home PC which are HARD wired to the router.
Everything is running Static IP that i set of course
The router is DSL built in ...Blah blah Connecting to internet OK
Heres the thing ...I want to use media sharing on my Xbox360 by sharing with the laptops wireless connection....Basically cause the Laptop has the Media Ceneter on it and My PC dosent....
I have had it connected by hardwiring the laptop to the router....But as yet no joy with Wireless connection on My Laptop through the router.
Maybe it cant be done i dont know? But to me it seems like it should be do-able
What settings would i need in the router and Laptop and Xbox360 to get this to work.
Laptop= wireless connection to Router
Xbox360=Hard wired to router
PC= Hard wired to router (no media center tho on PC)
Router is Netgear DG834G with latest firmware
DHCP off in Router
Any one got any ideas If this can work or how to get it to work???
