Hello,
to put it simply, im in uni accomodation and i can only connect my 360 to the internet via a wired connection straight to the wall socket, so i have no control over any router of any kind. the main server belongs to the uni.
so when i plug the wire directly into my 360, it recognizes there is a network, but it doesn't connect to the internet. took me a while to figure it out but i remembered the network is password protected
the laptop im using now is connected to the wall socket and the password was entered at the beggining of the year and works fine.
so my first thought was to go to the 360 advanced network config screen and add in the user name and password that i have in the user name and password options in the PPPOe.
i have no idea btw what PPPOe ie is, looked at the meaning on wikipedia and i didnt get it.
anyway, this brought me a step backwards and the 360 didnt recognize a network of any kind and told me it couldnt find an ip address and a long list of other things aswell
is there something obvious im missing? could i try bridge my laptop to my 360 so my laptop can give my 360 internet? if so how, considering i only have one ethernet port on my laptop, which would need to be connected to the wall.
thanks for your time and any suggestions you can give me
UPDATE:
i went to xbox live to see the problem further, i swithched the setting to manual ip and im pretty sure i got it all right.
it said to change the last digit of you i.p adress on your computer to a digit up, im my case it was a 9, so i turned it into 8.
anyway now, it is still not connecting, but it says my network might be filtering my my mac setting. and am completly stumped now, there must be an easier way!
