Yea that sounds like what i read up on, about 2 NAT's or sumthing.
In my Networks, i have my BTHomeHub which is wireless and its on Local and Internet. Then underneath when xbox is plugged in it says: Unidentified Network - Local only. (which is the xbox, no idea how to get it identified and/or if that would make a diff)

As I say, ICS is not a robust solution for gaming.
So is there any other way to connect Xbox live to the internet without using ICS or making ICS not as strict? or is the only way going to be having to spend out for some kind of wireless thing for the xbox?
