I have a 20" Alu iMac that was purchased in October. Before Leopard I used it to share my internet connection to my Xbox 360 and it work fantastically. However since upgrading to Leopard it has stopped working. The xbox scans and finds the signal but when it does the test it never actually connects to it. I know the settings and everything are correct because if I plug the internet into my MacBook and share the internet from there (which is also running Leopard) it works fine. I have booted the iMac into Windows XP and tried that to see if that works and it does. I can share my internet connection in Leopard from my iMac fine to my PS3 and MacBook but not my Xbox. I am confused as to what the issue could be.
1. Could be that the Xbox is not compatible with my wireless card (but it works in Windows XP and Tiger - so it can't be that, can it?)
2. Could be that my wireless card is faulty (but it works fine sharing to PS3 and MacBook -so it can't be that, can it?
3. Leopard drivers for my wireless card could be causing it? (but again wouldn't this affect my ability to share to my PS3 and MacBook)
4. Okay my Xbox settings could be wrong (I am 99% sure this isn't the case as I have checked, re checked and checked again)
These ideas are just sending me round in circles. I cannot figure out if Leopard is to blame (as it works on XP, but the Leopard works fine for sharing from MacBook) or if the card is to blame (but it works under XP) or if the Xbox is to blame (but it works with iMac under windows and from the MacBook)
I have all the latest iMac updates etc but I have no idea what could be causing this. Any suggestions from anyone?
Oh an BTW before you suggest getting a router I actually have one but I am at University at the moment and my halls of residence wont support routers, as it checks the hardware that is connected to the ethernet port and has to run checks on them via a piece of software but I cannot run a test on the router itself so it just doesn't allow any sort of connection through it.
Thanks
