Alrighttey so I'm completely new to the whole XBC thing but heres whats up

I have the thingey installed, i have a log in, and i have halo 1 and a 360 ( lol )

I go to the " looking for games " screen and then log in, I tell it to find my console and it shows that it found something but it's just a series of numbers and not an actual console name. Then if I try to join a host it doesn't work..



The way I have it set up is

Modem ethernet to router, and then my laptop's ethernet to another router slot, and the xbox 360 ethernet into another router slot. is that what's wrong?

thanks for any input

most likely NAT...if u can see the server on ur box its definately NAT...use search there are some threads on how to fix this.

First of all, you need to be using this setup:



Are you?

not too sure. what's that card?

what I have is

Modem with an ethernet in it, that ethernet goes into the main router slot. then my laptop has an ethernet that goes into one of the router's spare slots, and my xbox 360 ethrnet goes into a diferent spare slot..

OK, plug your xbox directly into your laptop, that's what the card is. You may have to bridge your connection, then reforward your ports, that's how I got it working for me.

So i plug the x360 ethernet into my laptop ethernet.. so i'd have to usee wireless?

more detail would help i have no clue what bridging and forwarding my ports etc is.

Haha.

Sorry, I will try to explain this better.

Yes, you plug your Xbox ethernet crdo into your ethernet port on your laptop (this is what that card is in the diagram). This will allow you to access the internet wirelessly through your laptop. Do you understand this far?

Yeap although my wireless is BAD BAD BAD since i already have DSL and it gets cut to like half speed but w/e I'll see if it works

Ok, once you've done this, open up XBC and see if it will find your console.
