You're best off getting a router, e.g. -

That way, you can use the PC & the Xbox at the same time, without having to mess around swapping cables.


If you do a direct connection, you can only use one thing at a time - PC or Xbox. You also need to either clone the PC's MAC address onto the Xbox, or power cycle the modem each time you swap over.

For a direct connection, have a read of the following link. It's rather old, but the basic principles haven't changed:

Hi,

i tried,but to no avail,now the console asks me for the MTU.... the request fails when i check xbox live. As soon as i enter the MAC no., the IP address check fails....:disturbd:

could anyone give me a step by step guide?I have an STB...:confused:

Re: X BOX Live
 

STB? I thought you said in the first post that you were having a modem installed?



What settings have you used/tried so far?


You need to have the Xbox's IP address, DNS & Gateway set to Automatic.

Find the MAC address of the PC's network card, & enter that in the MAC address section of the Xbox's network settings.

There are step by step instructions in the link I gave earlier.
