I've been off live for like a week now, and I have multiple solutions to get back on, though none are working. I have tried connecting to my laptop with a two way ethernet, than opened my connection sharing, and tried to bridge the connection. When I attempt bridge it, it won't allow me to because it says the connections are on the same network. Another tutorial says the "repair ethernet connection" but it isn't listed as broken. The second solution I have is a linksys WET54g wireless bridge. The bridge is configured to work with my laptop, and does work fine. My wireless is open, so no encryptions to worry about. When I connect it to the 360, and test connection..it find the network but doesn't list a connection to the internet. I did an autosearch for the Ips and DNS, and that all seems to check out fine. I'm pulling my friggin hair out. If anyone can help, that'd be awesome.
More specs plz. What are you using to connect your Xbox? I've had this problem too, I ended up having to buy a wireless adapter for my Xbox. They're only oh.... 100 plus tax. I bought mine used at Gamestop. It works great. Btw, I'm also guessing you can't reach your router with an E cable can you?
Not the xbox network adapter. I'm at college so **** knows where the modems are haha..they just have a general wireless single.
Oh my god, I have the same problem. I just asked around my dorm floor, and everyone has a wireless adapter for their xbox. Apparently it can connect to my school's wireless network. If all else fails, see into it, for I'm buying a wireless adapter when I wake up tomorrow. EDIT: And I have a Mac, bought recently, so I'm new to it. I'm going the easy route.
This. I know the college I went to made you do this. I by passed it by doing what you're trying to do, bridged a connection from my laptop to my wireless network. That was until I got the wireless adapter for my Xbox, it solved my problem. Question is, does your school use that stupid PEAP program?
No ****in idea. I know people with network adapters are fine though, they don't have to submit the mac address. I'm more confused though why the bridging of the connections doesn't work. I followed all the steps, and my friends has done it with his laptop already, so I can't figure out whats up with that. It keeps telling me I can't bridge two connections on the same network. The blue ether that came with the wireless bridge should be a crossover cable I believe..soo I can't figure it out.
Well, I remember once that I was told that I can use my Wireless Router as an access point, which is the typical router. I'm not sure how it works, but it could connect to the college's internet and output it like it's a bridged connection. I never did get that to work, you should check if you can do that with your router, if there is an option, and then try that way. It's much easier than having your computer hooked into it for a connection. Never mind that last post, I looked up the specs for your bridge adapter. Did you try putting the IP and DNS addresses in manually for your Xbox? I believe I had to do that when I was at college, but that seems to be your best bet.
I tried a manual IP, but I can't remember about the DNS. Should they match the IP/DNS I find on my comp?
I'm pretty sure from client to bridge you use a straight through and not a crossover. What might be happening is that when you use the xbox with the bridge it goes into a client mode where the bridge connects to the accesspoint as a client. This creates (well separates the "network" into) two different subnets and it won't allow the DHCP server to send you an ip. Try giving your xbox a static ip *edit lol jugg beat me :O What ip did you put? It has to be a private one I think. Give it 192.168.1.10x for ip (x being whatever) *edit* assuming that this address is in the same subnet You will also probably need to enter the gateway (router's ip) and like you said, the DNS. *edit again* bah I'm bad at explaining >.< I would have to mess around with it
Wireless Bridge - DD-WRT Wiki Client Mode - DD-WRT Wiki Those two links should help you a a lot, it explains it much better than I can
I asked one my friends, he said he had to email the guy the boxes mac address, so I'll try that and hopefully itll solve my issues, thanks guys...I'll be back if I need anything more lol.
