Anyone connected to XBOX Live Via their PC? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

I need to do this today, Has anyone else attempted it? I see the section, and searched, just curious if anyone has any success stories with it.

Scapegoat · 05-05-2008, 10:35 AM

how do you mean? Are you talking about viewing your online stuff via the pc? of connecting the xbox to the pc itself?

If it was the latter, I tried... and failed. I have XP media, but apparently not the 05 edition which is the only supported XP Media edition that also needs a certain update, which i can't download b/c I don't have 05 XP Media...

i want to play online over my pc, instead of having my xbox connected to my router, im reading that i can have it connect to my pc. so i can kill people and race cats.

EDIT: except i connect my pc wirelessly to a modem in another room.

i feel skilled enough to do it, just curious if anyone has done it personally

lagos has done this with a degree of success i think, or he has atleast done something along these lines

Scapegoat · 05-05-2008, 12:01 PM

I can see one, if your pc uses a wireless router.

id rather not spend 100 dollars on a wireless adapter when my PC is already wireless.

i dont want to run a cord into the back of my wirless router in the other room.

haha I was thinking the same thing as to why would you do this but as you stated thats a perfect example of it. I haven't done it personally but everything should be very simple to do.

pearl · 05-07-2008, 03:40 PM

it was very easy to do. i just plugged my xbox into my ethernet port, opened up my network settings, selected "share this connection" and bam. what a easy job.

I do it now, its actually just as good of a connection as wired in terms of it being stable. But I go into a wireless print server/bridge instead of into my desktop.

I am going to try this tonight. I can not get Xbox Live at my house because I do not have an acutal internet connection, I just pick up on Wi-Fi broadcasted by the city of Bethlehem. If this works, I should be able to pick up the signal with my laptop and then go onto Xbox Live... hopefully.

yea i got effed on that too.

Its hit or miss for some people. I tried to do it on my system by setting up a bridge connection on the pc (you might have to do this to get openNAT), but whatever I did, the 360 would always fail to authenticate to the xbox servers.
In the end I ended up buying a used gamging bridge for 10bucks that has worked perfectly for me.

sherwood · 05-09-2008, 05:48 PM

call wedock...he does it from his laptop.

pearl · 05-09-2008, 05:49 PM

i already figured it out asshole.
