Hi, we've been trying to connect our Xbox to our wireless router via our laptop with no joy.
Using network cable supplied with xbox as per instructions using wizard on xbox.com.
Xbox syays connection "wired" (ok) firstly couldn't get an IP address so entered info in manually and IP addy ok then fails with DNS.
Gone thorugh newtork settings to allow internet connection but no joy.
Also can't get it to work sharing media with media palyer despite setting it to share.
If someone could help with IDIOT proof step by step guides it would be very much appreciated.
I think it must be a laptop setting as my firewall doesn't show anything trying to connect to internet (zonealarm)
Running Vista with a Belkin router on Virgin.
Thanks in advance
Tom
