    3. (1) Ethernet card in your computer
    4. Windows Xp Pro (SP2). (Home Edition may be the same but just to be safe im using pro)

    What to do:

    2. Install Ethernet card (if necessary)
    3. Install router (if necessary)
    4. Plug in crossover cable to ethernet card and to Xbox.
    5. go to START>CONNECT TO>SHOW ALL CONNECTIONS (Can also be found in my computer>my network places> view network connections
    6. right Click on wireless network connection and click on properties
    7. Click on advanced tab
    8. Check the box next to " Allow other network users to connect through this computer's internet connection" then click OK.
    9. Right click on Local Area Connection the click on properties
    10. Click on internet protocol (Tcp/Ip) then click on properties
    11. Beside IP Address type in: 192.168.0.25
    12. Beside Subnet mask type in: 255.255.255.0 (Remember the this IP and Subnet mask are different depending on the brand of the router. This configuration is set for Linksys routers.)
    13. Click OK
    14. Turn on xbox go into the internet settings and make sure it gets an Ip and subnet mask automatically. B/C You have already @ssigned it.

    Tried setting this up but when I get to step 8 I get this error message.

    An error occured while internet connection sharing was enabled.

    Internet Connection Sharing can not be enabled.

    A LAN address is allready configured with the IP addressthat is required for automatic IP addressing.

    Does any one know what I have to do to sort out this problem?

    No but I think that has to do with the IP aaddress. I think it should be the same princeable

    Weird, I have an Asus WL-500G & it needed no set-up for Live (even with 1 wired & 1 wireless Mac on the same network)...

    I'm not using the router to hook up the exbox live. I'm using my laptop and NIC port on my laptop and a cross over cable.
