Xbox360 & Internet connection sharing
I use ICS with the xbox connected via Ethernet cable to a laptop which then shares a wi-fi connection. Xbox-> Ethernet -> laptop -> wi-fi
This is because a public wi-fi network exists in the building which the xbox cannot directly connect to via it's own wi-fi adapter (requires login via a web page).
As I spend my time between UK and UAE I use a VPN service to download geographically restricted content onto the xbox if I'm in UAE. To do this I share the VPN connection with the Ethernet using ICS.
Problem is that suddenly ICS no longer works either when sharing the VPN connection or the normal wi-fi connection. I can bridge the wi-fi and ethernet with no problems but you cannot bridge a VPN connection.
When trying to use ICS with the Ethernet I set IPV4 to obtain addresses automatically. However as soon as I try to connect the Ethernet IPV4 settings changes on it's own.
I also have a laptop running XP and get the same problem. Can anyone help?
