Sharing Internet with xbox360
I currently am in college and an living in a dorm on campus. I connect to the internet through ethernet in my room and I wish to share that ethernet connection with my xbox360. I currently have my ethernet from the wall plugged into the ethernet jack on my motherboard. I bought a pci lan card and installed it into my computer in order to have the two jacks necessary to run two different ethernet cables.
What would be my best option for sharing the internet connection of my computer with my xbox360? I have tried the ICS option in windows and cannot get it to work. I have also tried bridging the connections but whenever I bridge the two connections, I lose all internet connectivity.
My specs are:
OS: Windows 7 Professional (x64) (build 7600)
CPU: 2.20 gigahertz AMD Phenom 9500 Quad-Core
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GT
Motherboard: Asus M3N78 PRO
LAN Card: Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC
Here is my ipconfig:
