| Hey guys,
Im trying to find a way to hook my xbox to my computer to get an
xbox live connection. My computer is conected wirelessly to a router. So, i
went to bestbuy and bought a systemlink cable. I know he system link cable
is a crossover cable. I connected one end of the cable to my xbox and the
other end to my computer. I told the computer to do internet connection
sharing and i put the right ip address on me xbox. Now the xbox its saying
that the cables are not connected.
PLease help!!!

| Depending on what operating system you're running on your computer, you
"might" be able to use Internet Connection Sharing for your Xbox with it.
However, the cross-over cable would be wrong. You would need to have a
regular Ethernet cable, connecting to a Network Interface Card on the
computer which has been specifically set up to share the Internet connection
via ICS. See http://www.xbox.com/en-US/live/connect/choose.htm .
