OK Cracked It!!!

So you wanna connect a PC with WifI to your 360? Heres how?

*Plug ethernet cable supplied with 360 into PC/Laptop and into 360
*In network connections highlight your Wifi connection and LAN port connection
*Right Click bridge connections - takes a minute
*In Xbox dashboard go to sytem>network>test connection

et voila the 360 is now using your PC/Laptop's Wifi

Hi, I've clicked on Network Connections, right clicked my wireless connection & then clicked on Bridge, just get an error message stating 'To create a Network Bridge, you must select at least two LAN or high speed Internet connections that are not being used by Internet Connection Sharing'

Any ideas

You have to select your WiFi connection AND your ethernet/lan connection then brifge them

How do I select both at the same time?

Hi, I successfully did that but, when I then tried to go back & test the Xbox settings, it is still failing on the IP test.

I then lost my internet connection! Have had to use system restore to get my connection back!

I guess I must be doing something wrong!

Make sure you are using a crossover ethernet cable, otherwise the Xbox wont be able to talk to the PC no matter what you do to the settings. If you don't have any joy then I could possibly pop up and sort it for you, just pay my petrol

Thanks everyone.

What is a crossover ethernet cable? I am just using the standard one which originally came with my router?

The cable that comes with a router is a standard ethernet cable - i.e. same connections at both ends of the cable.

A crossover cable is an ethernet cable where the wires are "crossed-over" and therefore each end is different. You need this kind of cable to go "like-to-like" - e.g. an ethernet card on your PC to an ethernet card on the xbox.
