internet sharing issues

  • I'm experienced with xbmc and everything that goes with modding.... but I modded my buddies xbox last week and cannot get it to connect to the network via ethernet sharing on my mac. I've done it on my xbox with no issues, but his just wont work no matter how I set it up.

    I've tried assigning a static IP, DHCP, etc etc, but my mac just says it has a self-assigned IP, even when using DHCP (even after setting it and rebooting, hard or soft). Quite frankly I'm stumped.

    His xbox will connect when plugged directly into the router via ethernet, but no t via my or his mac. Any ideas?

    I used the Krazyie SC exploit, kept the original HD, and have the latest version of XBMC (actually the one that was released two weeks ago, not yesterday, as I haven't had time to update..)

    Any help would be great, thanks everyone.

    _-Peace-_


  • Just to let you know, the mods will probably be giving you some sort of a talking to / "Warning" because they don't let people post that kind of stuff here. Please note that I am not a mod and do not ask for or perform these actions so if / when that happens do not contact me about it.

    My response is perfectly legitimate given the lack of logistical information (i.e. "I can't connect it directly because ___") and the purvasive and cheap nature of modern networking gear.


  • How i set mine up was i have 2 Ethernet coonections one to the internet and the other directly connects to my xbox viz crossover cable.


  • why can't you just use a router like any normal person? internet connection sharing is crap.


  • seriously, no one has ANY ideas? Come on guys, throw me a bone here.


  • Seriously sleepyp, I don't give a shit if you've been on this forum from day one, this is a help forum, not a "let me be a cocky douche-bag" forum.

    The majority of help posts I've seen from you have a 'holier-than-though' kind of attitude, and I'm sick of it. If you want to help me, then help. If you want to make cheeky comments and be an asshole, then do it to one of your brain dead friends if you have any. Stop wasting bandwidth with your bullshit.

    Fuck off man. :nod:

    I've got a router, and it's on the second floor of my house, making it very inconvenient to drill through the floor to the first, or getting a million foot ethernet cable.

    That being said...

    Thanks for the reply, max0r. I will grab a crossover and see if that helps my cause. I really appreciate you giving me something I hadn't thought of, and welcome to the forum.
