I have a pc upstairs that is recieving wireless internet from downstairs. i have a ethernet cable connected to that pc and then into the back of the xbox and i am trying to bridge the wireless to the wired... The 360 is having problems picking up the IP address.... Could anyone help me please!?!? :(

    Are you trying to set up Internet Connection Sharing? What version of Windows are you using?

    "Internet Connection Sharing" isn't a made up name, it's a function of Windows XP.

    But you're trying to get your X-Box signal through 2 routers - it's probably not going to work that way. Can you confirm that it works if you plug it directy into the wgr614?

    So, is the 360 even able to see the PC - never mind the connection to the internet for now.

    Do you have the right type of ethernet cable - you need a crossover cabe to connect the XBox directly to a PC.
