Xbox live and Mac help!

[ceruleanventure]

Hey everyone, can anyone give me instructions concerning how I can connect to Xbox live with my xbox, an ethernet cable and my iMac G5? All the stuff I found online or on this forum has been a bit frustrating since networking is not one of my gifts lol. I knew enough to turn on internet sharing (from airport to the ethernet port) but my xbox is being stubborn. Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance

Buy a router, they are cheap and provide better network security anyway.

This is for the 360 rather than original xbox.
If you are determined to get networking working, be prepared for the learning curve.

Check out post 17 in that thread...

MacRumorUser, I followed your instructions in post 17, and the xbox still refuses to connect. I imputed all the numbers, got the ethernet connection working fine....However when I enter the information into my Xbox, I still get DNS errors. In your instructions you put in the number "10.0.1.1" and you said to use that "or whatever ip address your wireless router/access point has" I tried 10.0.1.1, and it didn't work. So where do I find my wireless router/access point number? Thanks for the help so far, this Xbox is driving me crazy.

*still screaming at the Xbox lol. Why did M$ make this so hard? You'd think they would've designed an easier interface for connecting to Xbox live. Do they expect the average user to be fluent in networking code?

After following various manuals online, I got it to connect. Thanks for the help, and I apologize for my frustrated attitude lol. If anyone needs help with Xbox life and macs, feel free to pm me, I'm think I know what I doing now
