Share wireless Internet connection with an Xbox
Authored by: gyroslice on Nov 18, '04 08:34:56PM

I am a novice mac os x user and this hint seems to rather straight forward but after 4 hours of trying i could not get my xbox to connect. i am using an ibook connecting to the internet via ABS. i couldn't even find the right ip address ( is it the 10.0.1 number or what?) also, if my ISP randomly distributes default gateway addresses can i even connect?

help please
adam

The IP address info you should enter in the Xbox live menus is the info listed in the original hint: 192.168.2.xxx

The only section that may differ for you is the DNS servers, which vary depending on your ISP. You can find these in your Network preferences. (Someone has noted that you can simply use 192.168.2.1 and your Mac will forward the DNS requests.)

To Gyroslice, I was in that situation for several hours. I can give you a conclusive answer to you: The guy earlier that gave a DNS code and said you needed nothing else was right.
All you do is turn internet sharing on over your network or standard connection via your in built ethernet port. Plug your xbox into the port. You will get a connection trouble shooter when you turn on your xbox. Go to settings (this is on the xbox) and turn the IP stuff onto default. Go to DNS address and enter the code that was given previously by Alceste (PS thanks to him, he saved me many hours of pain) into the primary address. It did for me. This should work. I am doing this out of empathy for your situation. I know how annoying it is and I would hate to think bad words might be spoken to your mac computer.
