You can't play XBL by connecting to your PC... (well not very easily, this is a bad idea imo)

You have to connect via Cat5/6 to your dsl/cable modem, or to a router.

Or have a wireless router, and buy the wireless kit for the xbox.

[benagain]

Yea you're right, you're gonna have to keep reminding us about your situation because that thread is gonna mold over and die in the gaming forum. It seems to be one of those categories that just no one goes to.

[lil josh]

did you try what i said with the modem connected to your laptop then the ethnet cable going straight from your laptop to the xbox

if not try plugging it straight from your modem into your xbox via ethent cable i know this means you wount be able to surf while playing but handy if u just wana get on xbl asap.

does your internet service provider derinatly support xbox live, i had the xbox live starter kit for a yer because aol silver didnt support it lol.

AOL anything is screwy. Not bashing those who have it, but I've never in my life got AOl to work the say I want. Josh is right though, if you're going through a wacky isp like aol, you may be SOL.

[chisme]

no this si what im tryign to say josh mate

MY MODEM HAS NO ETHERNET PLUG

it has one line coming straight out which is usb...and the other end which is telephone jack, ive linked the xbox direct to the laptiop with the network cable...but still nothing its like its all conencted its just not using the connection.

i dont get it.

if u look at the pics ive put in the other thread itll give ya in idea of what i mean but yeah its a bloody joke,

[benagain]

So you've tried connecting through ICS right? If you've having trouble with that, then I think that's where we need to troubleshoot. some more info please, what OS are you running (so I can find the steps for it)?

[chisme]

im running xp.
ntlworld adsl broadband 2mbps
its a speedtouch modem i think,


as for connecting through ics?

ive plug the cable in xbox and laptop gone onto my internet conenction (freedom broadband icon) and check alow internet sharing,.,,,, but still nothing,




also thank you very uhc for taking the intrest to help me is pissing me off soooo fucking muhc its unbeleivable....i mean 2 years ago alll consoles were plug n play.....now u gotta do all this setup bullshit most of it seem more liek work then play lol




plus ive jsut found out my mum has thrown out my 400w hps BECAUSE SHE DIDNT KNOW WHAT IT WAS?????? FOR FUCKS SAKE lemme get thisa straight you go through mu shit when im not there then when i find something u dont know what it is.....u throw it out? for fucks sake dosent anyone have any fuckign respect in this world? wtf happend to if it aint yours dont touch it?


and just for info no i wasnt growing just storing sum shit in a room i pay rent for....so why the fuck does she think she has thr right to go fuckign around with my shit and....THROWING IT AWAY WHEN IM NOT THERE TO OBJECT

FUCKS SAKE!"!!

[chisme]

sorry HAD to vent that fustration somewhere.....lets continue lol

[benagain]

So what happens when you try to connect xbl? When you enabled ICS did you get an error message of any kind? Also, are you running service pack 2? Oh and one last thing for now, are you using regualr ethernet cables, or crossever cable? I'm pretty sure that its gonna need to be crossover to work.

[benagain]

exact error messages if you get them.

[chisme]

benagain thank you very muhc mate for the help but i think im gonna give up fuck the stupid xbox

"ooo yeah play live on the net"

well its no good if u have to sit there for hours on end trying to work out sum stupid techno jargon just to get the thing to link.

i think its a joke these day if theyre gonna make sumthing like xbox playable on the net i think they could at least include all the fucking ethernet/cross over cables u need,

i mean ive bought an xbox cos ive heard all this crap about xboxlive then find im gonna have to go buy extra cables and maybee even change to wireless internet just to get it fucking working?

im sorry maybee one day but right now im soo fucking stressed at my mums i just wanna beat the wall repeatedly.

thanks again benagain but im just toooo pissed off right now to bother with it all...maybee 3 hours ago when i started but no not now.







no wait lemme go on:

ok whats with these fucking games console makers these days? if i was gonna make a internet playable games console id at least have half the fucking brain to manufacture a way the user could simply plug it into the phone jack and start playing,

cmon they built this poxy xbox with xboxlive in mind? so why didnt the fucking idiots think to put a modem inside?

seems abit of comon sense to me but obviously not to these "masters" of technology.





THANKS AGAIN BENAGAIN. even thou its jsut as fucked as b4 i do really apreciate your help,

[benagain]

LMAO. No problems Man, I know how it is. Good luck :thumbsup:

[surreys princess]

let me help you....

i have a 360, so i dont know if it is different, but i will tell you how i conncect..it is so simple.....

as lil josh said to do, that is right..that is how i connect...the reason you probably arent getting anything is you have to go to your connections and check the box that says "allow other computers to access through this computer", or something similar to that.....

as for moving your post, i am sorry you are upset, but that is the forum it belongs in, and that is where any post is sent concerning video games..

if this hasnt helped, why dont you go to xbox's site and go through their faq's..i am sure that will help more than this...good luck with your connecting

The only thing that helped me was talking to the people on the phone. I know how frustrating these things can be and i don't blame you if you quit, lol. They should make it a million times easier then it is. Personally, i have it working and i think it's worth it if you actually can make it work.

[lil josh]

o yea i forgotte about the phone lol, yer i finally found out after 2 days of tryng that aol silver does not support xbox live when i called them up. first i called xbl they told me to call aol then i called aol they told me to call xbl then i ended up talking to one of them (cant remember what 1 it was tho) and they told me that its not supported.

try calling ntl and xbox live

[fractur]

ive click share this connection that connection bridge this conection....

Bridging the connection won't do what you want it to, and should be disabled if you want to use internet connection sharing.

Also, you will most likely need a crossover cable to connect the computer to the xbox. This is not typically not provided because ICS with a computer and no router/switch is fairly uncommon. You can purchase them at almost any store that sells ethernet cables.

If you have a second computer and a crossover cable, you can plug that computer in to the main computer (the one connected via dsl) to check to make sure that ICS is functioning correctly.

[chisme]

i might jsut find sumone who has it installed at home and pay them £30 to do it for me seems less ass hastling like that. lol


heres £30 make it work

half hour later "chris it works"

me: great heres yer cash now fob off and lemme get down to killing lol"



like i said these xbox idiots seeing as half the games are gonna be online enabled youd think they would think to put a modem inside. dumbasses

[lil josh]

call em up save you £30 and it should sort you out

[chisme]

ok ill call em today once i find out where i threw the network cable last night lol got abit stressed with it in the end

[chisme]

you know waht i think ive just found out the cable i have is a "cat5. patch" but i need the crossother type right? look like i need to take a trip to maplins lol

*THROWS A FIT*
WHAT ABOUT ME...*CONTINUES THROWING HIS FIT* I OCASIONALY POST SOME QUALITY POSTS...*CONTINUES...* ITS NO FAIR THAT ONLY HE GETS TO PLAY YOUR 360...*FINISHES HIS FIT OF THROWING THINGS, AND HITTING HIS HEAD, AND CRYING*

its just no fair to give him a nice dank sticky bud, and not atleast offer a toke of it... :twocents: :twocents:

[lil josh]

partyguy you can come and play my 360 but you need to bring at least half a ounce and be willing to pass every joint all the way through.

lol thats if you can b bothered to come to england and if your not over the age of 20 (would look a bit weird to my mum as ma oldest good friend is 19)
