I think what you need to do is what they call 'spoofing the mac address'

You need to find the mac address of your PC and put that into your xbox system settings. Leave all other settings on automatic and then go through the process of switching everything off as before. Switch on cable box wait for it to be fully on, then switch on your xbox and connect.

Do you know how to get the mac address from your PC?

In XP, If you go to Start then run then type in cmd then type in ipconfig/all

I think it should say the physical address and in a format like 00-12-M1-12-12-12 for example.
