Bridging from wireless iBook connection to xbox 360

I was wondering if anyone might have any advice for me.
I am currently trying to allow my xbox 360 to share my iBook's wireless by bridging it through the iBook's ethernet jack.
When running the xbox live set up I have been able to get the IP address confirmed, the DNS as well, however the MTU just fails.
My iBook is set at 1500, the minimum the xbox wants is 1364, my wireless router is set at 1500. Any ideas? Has anyone else experienced this?

Tweleveclicks2,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
I don't own an Xbox so I can't really help you out. Have you looked at this Connect360? You should look at this previous post.

  • Wireless Airport Connection for XBox 360

    There are several prior threads on this, and on the Micros**t board, but none resolve the issue - so here's hoping someone can help the father of a frustrated 15 year old (please, please!!).
    Bottom line - my son got an XBox 360 for Christmas. We have an Airport Extreme network (with an Airport Express range booster down stream) for our home network. Cable modem with static IP. The XBox with its wireless networking adapter will recognize my home network (with WEP security) - it's located about 10 fet from the Extreme Base Satation, but the XBox will not connect. (We tried the XBox website's "set up wizard" to no avail; Microsoft simply says that Airports are not supported and they have no clue as to how to establish a connection with a non-PC).
    I know an XBox 360 can join an Apple Airport Extreme wireless network because others have posted the result - but without any explicit instructions on how to do so (at least none that I can find).
    I'm pretty Mac savvy, but don't want to get into doing terminal commands as I don't want to mess up any aspect of my home network (since I have an office there as well and can't afford to rebuild a network like I did last night for 6 hours when someone at Micro told me to change my Airporst security, which sent a ripple effect throgh my system to the point I lost all internet for hours).
    So, if anyone can give me a set of "a, b, c ... 1, 2, 3 ..." set-up instructions on how to wirelessly get an XBox 360 to join an Airport Extreme network, you'll have certaintly done your good deed for the Holidays!
    Thanks and Cheers!

    Found the answer - set wireless security to 128 bit WEP and made the network password EXACTLY 13 characters, and the XBox loaded right up.
    Happy New Year's All!

  • Using Airport Extreme as a wireless adapter for an xbox 360 and/or computer

    I have a wifi network that is successfully broadcasting internet, i also have a spare Airport Extreme that i would like to use as a wireless adapter for my xbox 360.
    My Existing network is being broadcast from a D-Link modem so it doesn't support "extending a network" with airport extreme
    What i want to achieve is:
    Wifi Internet being broadcast by d-link, received by Airport Extreme WIRELESSLY, then sent via a WIRE to my xbox 360's ethernet port so that i can access internet on my xbox 360.
    Unfortunately:
    My Xbox 360 doesn't have built in wireless
    Connecting to the d-link network wirelessly (with the airport extreme) doesn't seem to give me a wired internet connection (from the airport extreme)
    I don't want to extend the network wirelessly
    Any help would be appreciated
    Thanks in advance to any users who know how to solve my (probably simple) problem

    Welcome to the discussions, DanSwiggsD!
    If you have a non-Apple device as your main router, unfortunately the AirPort Extreme has almost no chance of compatibility with your main router.
    If you do have an Apple router as your main device, please post back with your model number and we'll let you know how your devices should be configured.
    If you don't have an Apple device as your main router you have a few options to connect the xbox:
    1) A pair of ethernet powerline adapters could be used if you did not want to run a regular ethernet cable from your main router to the xbox.
    2) The new AirPort Express 802.11n model does have a feature called Proxy STA which should allow it to receive a wireless signal from any wireless router and allow the ethernet port to be enabled.

  • Trying to connect an XBOX 360 to my airport base station via  ethernet cabl

    Hello,
    I have the older snow airport base station and was trying to connect my xbox 360 to it via an ethernet port. There are only 2 ethernet ports on the snow base station. one is being used by the cable coming from my dsl modem. the other free port i tried plugging into my xbox 360 to no avail. the xbox cant get an ip address. the open ethernet port on the base station is labeled with the circle logo. the one being used by my dsl modem has the two outer pointing arrows. I turned off the airport to my macbook and tried to connect my macbook to that port my xbox was in and it would not connect to the net either. Is it possible, i have the ports backwards. my wireless internet for all 3 mac computers works fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!
    Thanks!!!
    Vinny

    Yes, you have the ports connected backwards.
    The WAN port is labelled with the "circle of dots" icon, and must be connected to your DSL modem.
    The LAN port is labelled with the "double-headed arrow" icon, and that is where you connect ethernet cabled devices on your LAN.
    See Apple's article AirPort Base Station: About the WAN and LAN Ports
    What is surprising is that you haven't previously run into all sorts of problems with your existing setup. Once you cable things properly, you will likely have to power down your DSL modem and Base Station for a while (sometimes just an instant, sometimes overnight). After waiting, plug the modem into power and wait a minute. Then plug the base station into power and wait for it to restart.

  • Can I use the mini displayport to vga adaptor with the xbox vga cable to connect my xbox 360 to my macbook pro?

    I'm trying to find a way to connect my xbox 360 to my mackbook pro. I've searched the internet and found that I can use a eagle eye device but, its to expensive. So after looking at the xbox website, I found a vga adaptor for my xbox and an vga to mini displayport and I was wondering if this would work.

    The minidisplay port is output only. It's not going to show anything from your xbox.

  • Connecting my xbox 360 (elite) to my macbook pro?

    I recently got a Macbook pro for christmas, and was wondering if there was anyway that I could connect my xbox 360 elite to it. I want to use the my macbook screen as a screen for my 360, at least until I can afford a new TV (roommate knocked my 32" samsung off its stand and broke it christmas day...).
    I heard there is a VGA coord from microsoft that connects from a vga port to the back of the xbox, and i have the DVI to VGA adapter for the mac already. Was just making sure this works before I spend the $50.
    Thanks!

    Broschati,
    No, this won't work. The DVI port on your Macbook Pro is for video out. The Macbook Pro's display is connected directly to the GPU, and there is no way to input video to it.

  • Qosmio G20 VGA in for connecting to XBox 360

    How can i connect a Xbox 360 to the qosmio using a VGA HD cable like this?
    http://www.xbox.com/en-US/hardware/x/xbox360vgahdcable/
    Is it possible to use the fantastic monitor of the Qosmio to play?
    Any help apreciated

    Mores is right, there is no VGA input on the Qosmio G20 (I wish there was though), you have to use an S-Video connection from your Xbox. Using the Qosmio player works perfectly well, there's no delay at all, the only problem I had was the video quality was utterly terrible. S-Video out from my 360 to a TV was fine, but input into the laptop looked awful, oh well!
    Cheers,

  • Unsure about connecting my Xbox 360 to soundcard

    I have searched this forum and looked at the stickies to determine if this is possible before posting but am a little confused so I decided to ask for clarification...
    I have a Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatalty Professional Series installed in my PC
    I am considering purchasing the Sound Blaster Digital I/O module
    Is it possible to get 5. surround from my PC speakers if I connect my Xbox 360 to this setup using the Xbox 360 VGA HD AV Cable?
    Are there any downsides to doing so? Sound lag, skips, etc?

    I don't really know.. I got a Auzentech Prelude with SPDIF (supporting optical) input and output and even after Dolby Li've or DTS is activated on my system I get no sound whatsoever if I activate Dolby Digital on my Xbox360?
    Is it supposed to be like that? No sound when running Dolby Digital through a optical cable to my Auzentech Prelude?
    Dolby Stereo works, but then again I guess it wont really utilize my 7. speaker setup at all?
    Or does the sound card upmix to 7. or something, even when running Dolby Stereo on the Xbox360?
    No sound at all if I select Dolby Digital or that Dolby Digital WMA thing.. I thought Auzentech Prelude supported both Dolby Digital and that WMA thing?
    At least the SPDIF / Optical output does?

  • Lynksis E1000 wired connection to Xbox 360 (need help)

    Here's my problem: I connect my ethernet cable from the router to my computer, and the connection works fine. (ethernet port 1 on router.) I connect it from the router to my Xbox 360, and it acts as if I haven't even connected the ethernet cable.
    Could somebody please give me some guidance towards getting my Xbox to be able to run a wired connection from my router?

    Hi Jake,
    This might throw you off the internet for the meantime, but how about connecting the xbox to the Internet port on your router.  Let's see if the LED will light up.
    As you mentioned before, did you use the same cable to connect your xbox to your router as what you used when you tested your xbox with the modem? If not, have your tried using only one cable for this?
    Also, do you have other gaming consoles we can use to test this issue?

  • Connecting an xbox 360 to the internet wirelessly

    Hello,
    First of all I want to apologize for writing another post about this topic. I know that there are other posts about it, but I'm very busy and don't have enough time to read through them all and pick out the info I need.
    I'm thinking about purchasing a TimeCapsule along with an iMac to replace the family computer. My son has an Xbox 360 and is currently connecting wirelessly to the internet using the Microsoft Wireless Adapter and a Netgear router connected to the Windows desktop. I plan to replace the Windows desktop with the iMac and replace the Netgear router with the TimeCapsule. If this is what I do, will he still be able to connect to XboxLive? Please get back to me as soon as you can!
    Thanks!

    I think it only works if you use the network with 802.11b or g and a lesser security. The wireless 360 won't work with 802.11n and the wpa2 security.
