Bridge connection xbox live windows 7

Thank Yall for taking the time to read this 'Ible. Thank you for such a thorough Instructable! I have attempted to do a similar bridge in the past without success. I am intending to use a PC as a proxy server and have had trouble getting it's internet connection to pass through the 2nd adapter to the router.

I haven't tried yet, but I am confident that these steps should work for that purpose as well. By sokamiwohali Texas Airways Follow. More by the author:. About: I am an Eagle Scout. More About sokamiwohali ». Did you make this project?

Share it with us! If you have Windows 7 it might be a bit different. I may have to do this process again under 7 to see if it all checks out and is the same.

A little late in my reply but If your computer's network properties doesn't have a sharing tab, then you're running off of a Start Up Edition.

That particular edition doesn't support internet sharing. You can tell by viewing your network properties; if there's no sharing tab then you can't share internet through your laptop.

My laptop won't let me uncheck the bottom 2nd box, how do I fix this? When I click properties, it doesn't show a 'Sharing' tab. How come it shows for everyone else? I have vista. Does that sharing tab only appear on windows 7 or something? If you don't have a sharing tab for wireless connection , it can mean one of two things: - You don't have two network cards one that connects to the internet wirelessly and one that connects to another computer via ethernet connection - Your network connection sharing has not been enabled Most likely, it ends up being the second option.

So, here's what you need to do. Click on Start button. The Network Connections window should appear. Right click on the Local Area Connection icon and then select Properties. Now, go back and check your Wireless Network Connection properties to see if there's a Sharing tab. If possible, a preferable option is to purchase a wireless adapter for your XBox, or plug it into a wired port on your network.

Also all the online guides relate to XP or Vista. So you sound like you'd know what to do to set it up. Tuesday, July 14, PM. Make sure the ethernet cable you are using is crossover. I have been able to use my XBox through my Windows 7 machine via a network bridge. I have found that using static IP addresses usually helps me stay connected, but the bridge sometimes acts flaky and disconnects.

I think that has more to do with the implementation of the bridge. Hopefully that will clear up once all the drivers are certified etc. Let me know if you have questions. Wednesday, August 19, AM.
