Connecting Xbox360 to Pc

[Trying]

Hey guys when I link up my laptop to my Xbox360, I can't seem to get the xbox to see the PC. I have installed Windows Media Center.

Im not to clued up on the whole IP address thing please can some one explain what my IP addresses settings should be.

Much appreciated.

Dont need Media Center anymore, just Windows Media Player V11.

I was struggling for about two weeks till I found out my onboard nVidia firewall was blocking all the required packets. I had turned on the firewall about a year ago, then unistalled the software cause it was crap. I assumed the software would deactivate the hardware firewall.

It didn't.

I had to re-install the software, disable the firewall, and uninstall the firewall software. But i doubt this is your problem.

I would suggest the following (assuming you want to share internet connection from laptop to xbox?).
Laptop:
Ip: 192.168.0.1
Subnet: 255.255.255.0

Xbox:
Ip: 192.168.0.2
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.1
DNS: 192.168.0.1

As a side note, I was playing Gears of War online, via my iBurst connection which is shared from my pc over the weekend, and I was completely blown away at how smooth, and LAG free it was. Also, my iBurst Account is actually in capped state (i.e. reduced bandwidth).

Once or twice i lost connection and dropped out of the games, but in general it was a whole lot more playable than what i expected.

or just rescan the ip addie on your xbox...swith it to manual...enter any addie...then switch it back to manual...and run the live connection tests...should get confirmed on all of them...

playin live on HSDPA...no lag...and really fast....
