***Bridging with Windows Vista***
By T Sizzles @ Se7enSins.com

Finally! A way to bridge on Windows Vista! This tutorial only applies to users using the 32-bit (x86) versions of Vista, which you most likely are using. The ZoneAlarm 7 Vista beta does not work with the 64-bit (x64) versions of Vista.

YOU WILL NEED:
PC running 32-bit version of Windows Vista
2 Network Cards or 1 Network Card and 1 USB and/or Wireless Card
1 Crossover cable if using Xbox
1 Ethernet cable if using Xbox 360
ZoneAlarm 7 Vista beta: http://download.zonelabs.com/bin/fre...3_067_beta.exe
CommView 5.5: http://tamos.com/bitrix/redirect.php.../files/cv5.zip

Section 1: Setting up a bridge or ICS

Part 1: Network Bridge
Step 1: Open up your Network and Sharing Center, click on the link to "Manage Network Connections" on the left side.


Step 2: Make sure ICS is disabled on your connections. Right click your connections, select properties, go to the sharing tab, and make sure both boxes for ICS are unchecked.



Step 3: Go back to your connections, hold the CTRL button and click on the 2 connections you want to bridge.


Step 4: Now your connections should be bridged. You can skip the next part of the tutorial and go to the setting up ZoneAlarm and CommView section.

Part 2: Setting up ICS
Step 1: Step 1: Open up your Network and Sharing Center, click on the link to "Manage Network Connections" on the left side.


Step 2: You need to enable ICS. Right click on your INTERNET connection and click properties.


Step 3: Click on the sharing tab, and make sure both boxes for ICS are checked.


That's it! You're done setting up ICS!


Section 2: Setting up ZoneAlarm and CommView

Part 1: Setting up ZoneAlarm
Step 1: Assuming you have already installed ZoneAlarm, you need to add a few IPs to the firewall. Go to the "Zones" tab. You need to add these 3 IPs to bridge. 65.59.234.6, 65.59.234.161, 207.46.246.6 . Make sure they go in the trusted zone, and put your network connections in the Internet zone. Your "Zones" section should look like this:


Part 2: Setting up CommView
Step 1: Assuming you have installed CommView, I am going to tell you how to use it. You need to open it up, and go to the dropdown menu, and select the network adapter that is your internet connection if you are using ICS. If you have a Network bridge set up, you need to select "MAC Bridge Miniport" as your adapter.

Step 2: To find IPs, simply press the "Play" button and the IPs will begin to come up.


That's It! You're done!

oh srry i thought my reply wasnt going through..but is the cable that came with the xbox 360 a crossover cable, i dont have a 360 so i was just wondering if its a crossover cable.

[easywayaround]

hey with this, whenever I go into my network and attempt to look for all the connections I only ever have 1 connection and thats my computer. Even though my xbox 360 is online on xbox live. So I cant actually find anyway to bridge the connection... what should I do?

[easywayaround]

well, whenever I do the second step of looking threw my internet connections to bridge the two LAN/Internet sources it only comes up with one of them being my computer. Even though I am actually logged into my xbox 360 on xbox live. What on earth am I doing wrong????? Thanks love to hear from you.

No, the cable that comes with the 360 is a standard ethernet cable. You do not need a crossover cable to bridge on the 360.

You have 1 network connection and it is your computer? You should have 2 LAN connections or 1 Wireless and 1 LAN connection.

[easywayaround]

I know that it should have the others but for some strange reason it doesnt

[shudogg]

Sounds like you have 1 ethernet port on your pc and your xbox and pc go through a router. If this is the case then you would only have 1 connection in the list. If you are using a router you have to use a program like cain & abel to poison the packets of your connection, then your pc (using zone alarm) can manipulate the way the traffic acts.

Beta ended does anyone know another zonealarm or another way...

[PwN iZ SiK]

you cant bridge host anymore but u can standby for host with vista just download cain and abel and zonealarm and sb for host.

Cain: oxid.it - Cain & Abel

Zone Alarm: ZoneAlarm by Check Point Software
