    Xbox live connection

    Hey, I just signed up for a free month of xbox live, and because I run a wired connection to my PC, I have to remove the ethernet cable from my PC and plug it in to my 360 when I want on Live.
    My motherboard has two ethernet ports on it, is it possible to 'bridge' the connection somehow and have another ethernet cable coming out of my pc and into the 360?

    Cheers.

    Re: Xbox live connection

    I think all you do is use an ethernet cable to connect from your computer to your xbox, and set that connection and bridge the connection (simple as right clicking and selecting "bridge connection" I think). Give it a try .

    Using vista, how would I do this?
    I've plugged in the cable but where from there?
    I think I preferred networking under XP, seemed a lot easier

    One cable going from router to pc. Another from pc to xbox. You said you had 2 ports, so I'm guessing it's the same as having 2 ethernet cards?

    Re: Xbox live connection

    Yeah yeah, that's sorted, just wondering what network settings I need to change.
    The 'new network' is recognised in network and sharing center though it says it has limited connectivity, 'local only'.
    Windows recommends restarting my router, that a good idea?

    Ok, networks have been bridged now, but still can't connect to live...
