How did you bridge your connections? You need to highlight them both and hit bridge connections.

try coldbooting your modem and router unplug both of them for 60 sec then plug your modem in then your router and it should work

Just an FYI you should ask in the help section. THis is problems and suggestions for the site as whole, not personal problems.

What is the IP setup for on your XBOX? Make sure it's DHCP

Did you search the site? I'm not even sure if this is possible since you aren't behind a router.

Try this. After you bridge your connectinos, go to a command prompt. To do this, click start > run. Type "cmd" (no quotes) and press enter. Then type this "netsh bridge show adapter" and it should give you a little table that shows both your nics. I would assume the top one would be your connection to your internet (number 1) If this is right, type this "netsh bridge set adapter 1 enable" Then you can exit out of that, try your internet on your 360 now. I'm not sure if that will work, but it's something to try. Otherwise, sorry I can't help you, I don't bridge that much.
