    Are there any download limits on the plan you get, i dont know if xbox LIVE uses more GB than pc gaming
  • this is what i done to conect via 3g dongle, netgear router, and wirless laptop.
    in network and sharing,
    click change adapter settings,
    right click 3g dongle
    and on sharing tab click allow other users to connect through this computers internet conection
    then ok that.
    i am using a wireless laptop so if u are doing the same...
    go to click change adapter settings again
    right click on wireless network connection
    click details
    check the ipv4 address and write it down
    close that off
    click properties
    uncheck ipv6 box
    double click on ipv4
    then click use the following ip address
    in the ip address box put in the one u have wrote down
    leave subnet mask as it is it should say 255.255.255.0
    default gateway leave blank.
    ok it all off.
    now in the xbox give it the same ip address as u wrote down apart from the last number an change it to something like 2,3,4 or 5
    subnet mask should also say 255 255 255 0
    in the gateway put in the same address u wrote down dont change any of it
    and the same for the primary dns same address u wrote just how it is.
    be sure to ok these settings dont press B go to dune at the bottom
    and u should have lift off!!

    hope this can help
