Connecting to XBox Live: Wireless Connection

Requirements: Wireless ADSL router, XBox 360 wireless adaptor, broadband enabled phone line, PC



Note
The wireless adaptor for the XBox 360 connects via USB, not ethernet as illustrated in the above picture. Also note this guide is for the normal XBox, not the XBox 360. However, the steps should be very similar.

1. Setup your wireless ADSL router to connect to the internet if it is not already to do so.

2. Note down the SSID of the wireless ADSL router. This can be found under the Properties page of the wireless router. Also note down the form of security used by the router: either 64-bit WEP, 128-bit WEP or none.

3. Connect the XBox 360 wireless adaptor by plugging it into one of the available USB ports on the XBox 360.

4. Go to the XBox dashboard. Go to the System blade and select Network Settings.

5. Select Edit Settings, highlight the Wireless Mode field at the bottom of the screen and press the A button.

6. Now enter the SSID of the wireless router as noted down in step 2 and the encryption type used as noted down in step 2.

7. Now test the XBox Live connection by returning to the Network Settings screen and selecting Test XBox Live Connection.



The XBox 360 will now test your network settings. The Wireless Network field should be confirmed and stated as being “Wired”. Your IP Address, DNS, MTU, ICMP and XBox Live settings should state “Confirmed”. The NAT field should also say “Open”.

If the NAT field states “Strict”, please go to the NAT/DMZ section. If there are other problems, please go to the Port Forwarding section.

Would this work? Would the xbox360 wireless network adapter pick the signal up from my upstairs computer (upstairs computer picks signal up from downstairs computer). If i did it this way around then would i still need the SSID off the router downstairs or would i not need this ID as the xboxlive connection signal would be given off by the computer upstairs (basically could the signal be picked up from my upstairs computer without needing amny SSID codes from my downstairs computer (would it be just a case of pluggin the wireless network adapter into my xbox360 , accepting incoming connections on my computer settings and puchasing my subscription card, would that be all i needed to do?

Oh and sorry for double posting

yes, i just need help with this

Hey, great thread. I followed your instructions for the ICS connection, but as detailed in this thread here I'm not able to get online because of Windows 2000 having ICS issues. I was able to get a software called Ethernet Bridge, which is located within the link from another forum and it's supposed to enable ICS.

The thing is, when I do the network test, the X360 fails to connect to the network. Any ideas? Know how I could test my ethernet cable (don't have access to router/modem, uncle is worried about me messing it up...) to see if it works?

I'm gonna try getting another cable, but I doubt that's the issue, would you know of another way to force ICS on Win 2000 that doesn't require this particular program? Maybe it's just this Ethernet Bridge software giving me trouble on top of the OS not allowing for ICS manually for some reason...
