I have an Xbox 360 that fails the IP Confirm test to access Xbox Live via
internet sharing connection with my panasonic windows xp laptop. Would like to know how to fix the problem so my Xbox 360 passes the test. |

If there are other devices, each must have a unique IP address (that is, the XBOX can't have the same IP address as another device). If you don't know and you pick something such as 27 you'll be pretty safe. -- Lem -- MS-MVP To the moon and back with 2K words of RAM and 36K words of ROM. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_Guidance_Computer http://history.nasa.gov/afj/compessay.htm |

fixing IP Address
From: Lem
Date: Mon, 3 Nov 2008 Time: 23:42:36 Assuming that the XBOX is the only device connected to the ICS port, then 1 x 255. If there are other devices, each must have a unique IP address (that is, the XBOX can't have the same IP address as another device). If you don't know and you pick something such as 27 you'll be pretty safe. It's not quite as simple as that. If there are other devices on the LAN, they will probably get their addresses via DHCP, and you have to be sure that the XBOX address is not in the DHCP address range. So you have to find out what the DHCP range is, by logging on to the router. You will probably discover that the DHCP pool starting address is something like 192.168.1.33, and the pool size is 32. This means that the highest possible DHCP address is 192.168.1.64 (64=33+32-1). Then, as long as the XBOX address is above 192.168.1.64 (for example, you could choose 192.168.1.70), you're in business. -- Ian |

how do i log onto my router to see what the DHCP range is? Because i just
tried entering every number between 1 and 255 and none of them worked "Ian" wrote: From: Lem Date: Mon, 3 Nov 2008 Time: 23:42:36 Assuming that the XBOX is the only device connected to the ICS port, then 1 x 255.
