xbox 360 not connecting to live through laptop

Statico · Aug 11, 2009

Ok, so I've been searching how to get this to work but it doesn't
I want to be able to get to Live through my laptops wifi, connecting the xbox via ethernet to my computer

I know i have to bridge the LAN and the wireless network connection but it doesnt work

the "allow other network users to connect through this comp internet..." option is disabled in both

my pc is running the windows 7 RC 7100

here is the status of the bridge connection when the xbox is plugged to my computer

clearly it says that does not have internet access, but i don't know how to solve that

hope you guys can help me, if you need any detail, let me know

Well, I've found that Windows 7 is somehow quite difficult to set up, maybe I didnt use Vista though. In XP, i didnt even have to bridge connection, just turned on the sharing function, plugged-in the ethernet cable and there you go. It worked the same way in windows 7 until recently it just doesnt work no more. So I tried bridge the connection, and set the ip on XBOX 360 manually. and it worked. funny thing is if i try to test my live connection, it'd connect flawlessly; however I still couldnt sign-in my live account though. I'm updating my dashboard atm, let see what gonna happen. cheers

yeah I know, I have dual-boot pc with Vista and 7
in vista was easy to set up, but I don't use that partition anymore,

so i want to be able to do it in seven

anyone that suggest another method?

Why people always try to bridge I'll never know.

Unbridge everything, make it how it was before.

If your laptop connects via wifi constantly (like mine, its my only means of high speed) then follow this;

Step 1:
Left-click this View attachment 22691

Step 2:
Right-Click the Wireless connection that you are connecting to. Then select Status.

Step 3:
Select Properties.

Step 4:
Select the Sharing tab and then check off both boxes.

Just thought I should add, this is EXACTLY how I connect my Xbox 360 to the internet. So there should be no problems.

Statico · Aug 12, 2009

hey man, thanks for the tip
but it didn't work for me =\

this comes up on the active networks window
don't they have to be part of the same network to work?

Dark Nova Gamer · Aug 12, 2009

One moment.

EDIT: Okay try doing that, and have an Ethernet cable plugged into your laptop and run it to your 360, it should work. Mine shows it as the same too but I'm on XBL right now.

EDIT 2: Okay so it works fine even though it says 'no internet access', all you really need to do is just turn your Xbox 360 on, try connecting to XBL and it SHOULD work.

I have to go for a while, so if it doesn't work feel free to leave messages. I am sure others could help!

It stopped working on my 7 recently for some reasons. Anyway, I got it working now by using bridge connection method.

@Statico: Have you tried to config IP on Xbox 360 ??? Set it manually and let see if it worked

Statico · Aug 12, 2009

it looks like my lan does not have access to the internet
like if the wireless does not share with LAN

when I click the LAN to see it's properties, it says No internet access
in both IPv4 connectivity and IPv6

when my Wireless shows that it has internet access in the IPv4

i don't know whats the problem here

well, even your LAN says " no internet access", you still connect to xbox live if you follow one of the above method. good luck...

btw, there are so many cheaters on FIFA 09 servers these days...

In windows yes, it will say there is no internet access. Have you actually tried connecting to XBL with your 360 regardless though?

yes, connecting through my xbox account and doing the "test connection"
but it does not go online

this is frustrating x

Alright, sorry I've just seen too many people shun away something based on what it appears to do. =P

I would help you further but I have no knowledge beyond that on what the cause could be, I know I had a similar problem but instead of trying to fix it, I just reinstalled Windows 7. =P

Statico · Aug 12, 2009

no prob man
thanks for your tips and I will keep looking
minhtuanp, thanks to you too

I see that this problem may be diferent and have different solutions for most people

Vaughn Whynot · Nov 4, 2009

got the same issue, any fixes yet?

lakers · Dec 12, 2009

Has anybody figured out any more issues with this? I bridged the local area and my wireless and i could actually get on xbox live. if im on the dashboard there is no problem at all, im online and everything. but as soon as i play a game, after about 5 or ten mintues into it i get disconnected from xbox live. has anyone else had this issue? if so let me know and it would be awesome if someone actually knew how to fix this. reply ASAP

TripOG · Dec 22, 2009

i had the bridge working just by bridging the connections nothing else a while back but i tried again today and it didnt work. i remember i updated the drivers for my nic card few weeks ago so i decided to roll back to the windows update drivers and now everything works again.

Genieman · Jan 7, 2010

Having similar problems here.
I have tried bridged connection with the xbox set on automatic IP detection and also manually inputting IP.
I have tried non-bridged sharing enabled with automatic and manual.
I get same errors on xbox both ways.
With Automatic I am getting:
Can't obtain IP address from router or modem.
With Manual IP set to 192.168.0.2 I get:
can't connect using static IP, router may be filtering console's MAC address.

I know this may just be something that WIN 7 isn't supporting right now but any help would be appreciated.

take a look at the static ip manual on portforward

Genieman · Jan 8, 2010

Ok so I need to set the static IP on my computer to be the same or different from the one set on the xbox?
