I too had this problem, I am not certain how exactly I resolved the issue but try calling 1800-4-MY-XBOX and tell them you want to forward your ports and if you got any firewalls, tell it to allow all UDP/TCP (or somthing like that) Connections through and post back what happens.

Umm, No. I don't know what you have or think a crossover cable is, but it fits just like any other Ethernet cable. The only way a crossover cable differs from a normal Ethernet is the order in which they place the wires before they throw the ends on... Check your connections for damage. Are you using phone line?

Okay, everyone that has a laptop connected wirelessly to their router, and an Xbox connected to their router with an ethernet cord, just use THAT > http://www.se7ensins.com/forums/halo...pro-7-1-a.html

I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW MUCH TIME I WASTED TRYING TO GET THIS ICS THING TO WORK ONLY TO REALIZE I COULD HAVE USED THE ROUTER METHOD!!!! YOU DON'T NEED TO BRIDGE CONNECTIONS OR ANYTHING AT ALL!!!

He's talking about if you Bridge using the Router method you don't have to Bridge your connections. You DO have to Bridge your connections on ICS Bridging.

yeah but this is for wireless so....you know what i mean

[ericchow]

hi, can sumone help me i really need your hand. when i right click both of the connections (wireless network and local area) to bridge connection. the wireless network connection will become disconnected. so i cant go xbox online thr the bridging as well as that i cant even go to internet on my lap top!...
msn: ericchow1974007@yahoo.com.hk thx alot

[Twis7eD]

Try testing your connection in the Xbox dashboard. Also try setting a static IP for your Xbox. You might also just need to wait a little while, while everything gets connected. So, just try to sign in once you think you have everything set up and then try testing connection if it doesn't work.

[ericchow]

thx for your ans first ,i have tried for a lot of times, the text connection still fail . i think it becoz when i finish setting up the bridge connection between my lap top and xbox, my wireless network connection will be disconnect. i dont know whats happened and why is that happen
to the set the static ip on my lap top or my xbox?? do you mean set the ip that same with my local area connection's IP ? or other things ,, can you plz explain further more ? i cant wait to play online.......
anyway thank you very much

[Twis7eD]

A static IP is an IP that you set yourself that doesn't change. You normally have a dynamic IP if you don't set a static IP. Just search something like "static IP Xbox 360" on youtube.

And please try to use better grammar. I can barely understand some of your sentences.

do i have to lower my firewall to med when configuring with this type of bridge?

[Twis7eD]

When configuring your bridge...no it doesn't really matter. Just lower it after you enter all the IPs.

[skatealk3]

can i bridge someone host with this? what would be the process after successfully completing all the steps in the TUT.

[Twis7eD]

No, they fixed bridging in Halo 2. You can standby for host though. And you can use this tutorial for bridging in Halo 3.

[skatealk3]

yeah sorry i forgot i was in the halo 2 section. It is for halo 3. should i put my zone alarm network on internet or trusted?

[Twis7eD]

Your new network? Put it as Internet.

Okay. I have a problem. Whenever I try to show the adapter settings, both the Wireless and the Local Area connection say Unknown. I noticed that other people had this problem, and someone said to just go ahead and type in "netsh bridge set adapter 1 enable", and it would still work. For some reason though it won't work for me. Instead when i type it, all it gives me is "The requested operation requires elevation".
I even tried to show the adapter settings again and they still said Unknown.

I really need help.... I just want to get on x-box live.

If anyone can help me, please e-mail me at RhiRhi_Annin@yahoo.com

Thanks!
