XBOX Live Gaming through Proxy server?

[lovelldr]

Hi guys.

Was wondering if anyone had tried the above? I sometimes have the oppurtunity to take my xbox in to work (as no-one else is in and have nothing to do at the time ), and have tried before to go on live, but it can't be done on the network

To get internet access etc, we have to go through a proxy server, but there's nowhere to input a proxy server info into the xbox?! So I was wondering if anyone else had been in a similar situation/has managed to get it to do it?

I was wondering when going through ICS on to a PC would allow it to work at all? But I'm guessing maybe not?! Or would I need to do some sort of tunnelling to get it to work?

Any help in this situation would be great

Thanks in advance, and look forward to reading replies

Not really sure, I've never heard of anyone successfully doing it but then that's because most people in this predicament are trying to get through university proxys and a lot of them will just let you if you ask nicely and provide MAC address etc.

The only suggestion I would have other than asking nicely is to connect via the PC. If you have a spare connection on your PC, hook the 360 up and check the connection is active and then CTRL select both network devices and right-click and "bridge connections".

You could use hotspot shield on the PC provided the 360 is using that network obviously
