NO XBOX WIRELESS CARD IS EVER NEEDED TO PLAY ON XBOX LIVE.
1. WIRELESS SUCKS. MY MIRCOWAVE SOMETIME KILLS MY CONNECTION.
2. MIRCOSOFT IS RIPPING US OFF WITH A $100 WIFI CARD AND ITS A PIECE OF CRAP. DROPPING IT CAN CAUSE THE USB CONNECTION TO COME LOOSE!
3. WIRELESS IS GOOD WHEN USING USB EXTENTSIONS FOR BETTER SIGNAL. (MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A QUALITY USB EXTENTSION, IF THE GAUGE OF WIRE ISN'T BIG ENOUGH IT WON'T WORK. THIS IS REFERING TO THE ONES I GOT FROM THE $1 STORE.
.
4. NOTE: MY OLD COOKING POT WITH A COPPER BOTTOM OVER THE WIRELESS GIVES ME A NICE %5+ BOOST!.
5. OFF TOPIC: WHY IS MICROSOFT CHARGING FOR THEMES AND GAMER PICS? I RATHER SPEND MY $2 AT THE TITTY BAR.
OK. SIMPLE. CONNECTING YOUR XBOX WITH A ETHERNET CABLE TO YOUR COMPUTER THAT HAS THE INTERNET WITH ICS ENABLED IS A NO BRAINER AS FAR AS THE EASIEST METHOD. USING PROPER IP ADDY AND DNS ON THE XBOX IS WHAT YOU NEED ON THE XBOX END. THE COMPUTER NEEDS ICS ENABLED AND ALLOWING DEVICES TO CONNECT TO THE COMPUTER. NO BRIDGING IS NESSESARY! THIS SHOULD BE THE ONLY THINGS YOU NEED TO DO FOR THIS TO WORK. KEEP IN MIND THAT SOME SERVICES ARE NEEDED TO BE ENABLED FOR THIS TO WORK, A FRESH COPY OF WINDOWS DOES NOT NEED NO CONFIGURING! ALSO YOUR FIREWALL MIGHT NEED THE PROPER PORTS FOR XBOX LIVE TO WORK. I'M USING A $30 WIFI CARD OFF EBAY WITH A ANTENNA WITH 2 USB EXTENTIONS(MUST BE LESS THAN 15 FEET FOR USB 2.0, 7 FEET FOR REGULAR USB - JUST FYI) CONNECTED TO MY COMPUTER AND MY LAN CARD IS CONNECTED TO MY 8 PORT ETHERNET HUB WHICH GOES TO MY XBOX AND 2 OTHER OF MY COMPUTERS. THIS COMPUTER IS ACTING AS A SERVER AND DELIVERS INTERNET TO MY NETWORK. I ALSO LIKE TO MENTION IM GETTING INTERNET FROM MY DICK NEIGHBOR FOR OVER YEARS NOW AND ABOUT 400 YARDS OUT. HES USING 1.5 MEG DSL BECAUSE THATS ALL WE CAN GET OUT HERE IN THE COUNTRY.
I JUST WANTED TO POST MY 2 CENTS BECAUSE I THOUGHT THIS POST IS WORTH MORE THAN 2 CENTS.
NO CHANGE!
Using Comp Isp & Ics Is The Simplest, No Bridging Need!, Easiest way to use LIVE Using Computer ISP/Wireless
