Play Some Xbox Online!

[brightsons]

so no ethernet port huh? so i guess your modem is hooked up via usb. that ethernet port on your modem is prolly only for connecting the modem with an ethernet cable. go get yourself a nic (network interface card)it'll add an ethernet port to your pc. they only cost about 20 bucks. or a router if you wanna do that but a router costs more then just a basic network card.

 

Even if he did get a router he would still need a nic (network card).

 

THis is the easiest way to do it. You'll need the following:

 

NIC

cross-over cable (its like a cat 5 cable except the wiring is different)

Xbox

xbconnect

Setup internet connection sharing (ICS) or home networking on your pc (it depends what OS u have: win98, win2000, winxp, etc.)

 

Run the crossover cable from your NIC thats in your pc to your xbox. Then setup ICS and you should be good to go. If you need more help check out xbconnect help and look at setup D.

Damn, why didnt yall tell me this shitake mushrooms before?

heheheh. well I am surprised that your pc doesn't have a eathernet port. but like I sayed. a nic at bestbuy is like 20 bucks.

and as for a crossover cable. if what you have isn't one get an xbox system link cable. it's a crossover cable and it's cheaper then a crossover found in the pc section of your local store.

Thats the easyest for HIS config,

 

If you have Dialup, use the same method and enable ICS (internet connection sharing)

 

If you have an ethernet port, use a hub

[Shibathedog]

well i got project Gotham 2, but it doesnt work on dialup. But i will be able to play you at friends houses and stuff.

I probably have the easiest setup, which is one NIC and one ethernet port...xbox in NIC, dsl in Ethernet...I didn't even have to configure anything...just plug and play. Downside is I don't know if the xbox supports internet surfing (via linksboks)

[Shibathedog]

i think maybe this should be moved to the online gaming section or something

[Prican25]

well it deals with xbox so it should stay in the xbox section

[Vermillion]

Is anyone using XLink??

 

I set that thing up and it's pretty awesome so far. Pretty large user base as well.

[Madi]

I Might Do This But I Heard From A Few People That XBox Is Crap

[Madi]

666 it depends on the game lol , xbox is good for a couple of reasons , it plays emus , it has a hd for gamesaves , games , and download content or you could just wait till the next gen consoles come around

[Ghosty]

Ya, It Might Just Be Halo 1. My Friend Said That It Runs Like Crap. And I Kinda Like The Semi-Old Stuff, But If Any Thing Good Comes Out Of The Nexgens, I Might Concidder Buying One.

You can find me on XBConnect occasionally, under the same nickname as here.

Feel free to add my to your "buddies" list, and if I'm on I'll most likely play a game of anything I have with anyone who asks.

[Shibathedog]

I have XBConnect and Xlink Kai set up, if anyone wants to play on those that would be fun (and if you have mods or w/e use them i think they are sweet even if it means i will lose)
