Does anyone know how i can get my xbox 360 to connect to xbox live. Im using a lan cable, connecting from xbox to pc, but i cannot get the xbox to connect to xbox live. Can anyone help?
you need to set up ICS, (thats internet connect sharing) which is a pain in the colon. guide to it here http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp_ics/ just buy a router, connect your pc to the router, connect your xbox to the router... not only that but a router will have a built in firewall so will keep you safe too.. http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/109521
Thanks buddy, I have actually signed for a new orange broadband which comes with a free router, i am being impatient to play Forza 2 online
when you get your live working hock me up m47k get good racing going also i i just used a enthra cable straght into my network port on my desktop and worked straght away bu my laptop wont let me get my connection so ill be taking gorilly advice and also thanks for that link
no probs if you need help setting up router then just let me know ive done a few orange routers, pretty good imo...
I've just signed for another orange broadband, which came with orange livenet. What a confusing thing that is. It came with a cd rom but no software, i've just found out that the manual installation guide was slightly wrong, but i can only check this evening.
Hey all just thought id add my opin personally i HATE ADSL i had sky and i had nothing but problems with them, this being the router loseing its ip afddress ETC in the middle of a game so just got virgin alot more stable then adsl lol add me on live golfmanuk get a little race goin and stuff
I'll have my highly modified mk2 on there once ive sorted the set up on it, it understeers really badly
normally the loss of connection is equipment not syncing with the network hench the drop, it then has to re "handshake" with the network and of it goes again. remember that the adsl netowrk is mainly owned by BT so no matter who you go with you are more than likely with BT but pay your bill to x company. unless you are lucky enough to be in a cable area....then you are truly lucky
I was on the phone to orange last night for 41 mins trying to sort out my broadband connection. The woman I was talking to did not listen to a word I was saying, kept on saying things I already knew. Then she said that I had to wait 1-2 days for the broadband transfer to work properly. She was useless and she must have been at a call centre in afghanistan or somewhere, the call wasnt exactly clear all the time
i dont want to sound nasty or anything but it took about 30 mins for me to do (and im talking about registering this code the lady had... the actual set up took a few minutes) the first time i came across orange, the router has main settings you cant edit (IIRC) so there is not much you can get wrong, 9 out of 10 times its not the isp which is at fault but the user and 'its easy when you know how'- its not oranges, or any other isp's problem that users 'dont know how' which bit are you stuck on, let me know?
off the top of my head ive no idea what the @ symbol means and i cant find a manual online to find out but i imagine ! means its going to explode @ means internet connection / activity (when it flashes) >> will probably be Ethernet activity C (phone symbol) is when your on the phone / phone rings and the wand is wireless Please do not use the usb port, use the ethernet port on your pc click on start, click on run, in run type in CMD, a black box will pop up, in that black boy type IPCONFIG and press enter the default gateway address will be your livebox (will be something like 192.168.1.1) once connected open your web browser and type in 192.168.1.1 (or the address of your livebox once in there check the settings are correct for example Username and Email Address Your broadband username, which you should use when connecting to the Internet is in one of the following formats: yourname.orangehome.co.uk@fs You chose the 'yourname' segment when you registered with Orange, Please note: @fs should not be used in email or webspace settings Your email address is your choice of name, followed by the '@' sign and your email username, eg mail@yourname.orangehome.co.uk You can use as many email addresses before the '@' sign as you like, eg bob@yourname.orangehome.co.uk, elizabeth@yourname.orangehome.co.uk and paul@yourname.orangehome.co.uk. To access your email online: http://email.orange.co.uk/ Advanced Settings Server Settings The address of the Orange POP mail server is: pop.orangehome.co.uk The address of the Orange SMTP mail server is: smtp.orangehome.co.uk Do not use secure password authentication to access mail IP address Your IP address is allocated dynamically via DHCP- you do not need to set this. Orange are unable to offer a static IP address. DNS Domain name service is dynamic - but if domain name server (DNS) addresses are required, you should use: 195.92.195.94 and 195.92.195.95 .... although personally i would use 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 - gorilly Dial up FTP and HTTP proxy settings Address: http://www-cache.orangehome.co.uk:8080 Port Number: 8080 Router settings If you choose to use an Ethernet modem / router, the correct connection settings are: encapsulation: PPP over ATM multiplexing method: VC-Based virtual circuit: VPI=0 VCI=38 modulation: Multi mode authentication: CHAP it sounds like a lot but it will take you ten minutes... i got those settings from some orange broadband help site.
I gave up on the livebox and reconnected my speedtouch modem. I have connected the ethernet cable to my pc and xbox 360. My pc recognises that theres a local network connection and says theres connection, but i cannot get the xbox 360 to connect to the internet
click start control panel network connection right click on LAN / local area connection click properties click advanced tab click internet connection sharing go from there
I've now made it for sharing, both the pc and xbox are showing they are connected, but the xbox keeps failing on the IP test. It says the pppoe has failed, i tried typing in my broadband account info into it, but still nothing
