I am with telewest and it seems a bugger to sort out.

Just unplugged my ethernet cable and plugged in the other one to xbox. Entered my mac address into xbox.

xbox works fine, can't get online on pc.

Did a system restore after the useless tech support couldnt help me out after an hour on the phone.

What do i have to do to stop all this happeneing again?

Is there an easier way than having to restore my pc everytime i want to play xbox live??

Oh by the way my gamertag is MNR if anyone wants to add me and give me a thrashing? :laugh:
I have topspin, amped 2, pgr2, links2004
Hope someone can help,

cheers,

matt
 
I'll add you matt, i'm always on Links so we'll have a round or two.
 
i heard you can use the pc as a host and set it up to share connection with the xbox (ICS) not sure about it though, some one here might know more
 
i managed to sort it out a bit.

For anyone else having problems:-
Pull out modem power lead from rear of cable modem

Switch cable from XBL to Pc

put power lead back in

goto dos type ipconfig/release

then type ipconfig/renew

should sort out the ip problems with telewest as they don't "support" xbox live.
 
The simplest way for me was to use a router and clone the mac address of the ethernet card,now anything plugged into the router works without having to register mac addresses with tw.
