Default fixing IP Address

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.

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.

tried entering every number between 1 and 255 and none of them worked

Hi Jason,

A couple questions:

1. Are you using a Windows XP machine to logon to the router?

2. How are you attempting to logon to the router? Using Internet
Explorer?
