Share wireless Internet connection with an Xbox
Authored by: hedgeland on Nov 16, '04 10:21:38AM

It worked! I played Xbox live for about 3 hours last night through my ibook shared internet connection. Awesome!

An additional note, I bought my xbox before xbox live was available, so the xbox live and network settings menus didn't appear in my dashboard. I thought maybe they would only show up if the xbox detected a network connection or something. I tested the connection from my iBook with a PC, worked fine. Searched the internet. Scratched my head. Then I found a tiny blurb on some Australian website that mentioned that you could start xbox live by starting up an xbox live enabled game. So I put my Halo 2 game in, and viola! It detected the network connection and then installed the missing software/menus onto my xbox! Now the dashboard is all up to date with the xbox live and network settings menus!

It was at this point that I could actually start using this hint to fix the network issues in the xbox, and it worked perfectly. Nice job.

Xbox Live Install
Authored by: HarrisonRHW on Nov 16, '04 11:04:50AM

That's the way xbox live works. Infact, to be able to use any game with live, most games will require that you install new software. All live compatible games contain the latest version of xbox live. Basically each time that it asks you to install everytime you try to play a new game on live it is just installing software that allows you to do things like create icons, read friends lists, etc..
