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,

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.

Updated instructions for connecting to Xbox Live

Hi everyone,
Like many others, I can't seem to get my Xbox Live to connect consistently through the Airport Extreme. There is a ton of lag. I have been working on this for about a week and there have been some great posts related to this issue. However, all of the instructions and Youtube videos I have found aren't using the current OS, so I just can't seem to make it work.
Can someone write out the detailed instructions for connecting to Xbox Live using Airport Utility 6.1? Or, if there is a post somewhere, I would appreciate it if someone can point me to it.
Thanks!
Patrick

Hi there,
You might need to forward/open ports on your router first so that your xbox's connection will work very well.
In this link, Click Here, you can see an example on how to forward ports.
But in your case, forward/open ports for your xbox's connection.
Under the Port Range Forwarding page, enter the following:
> Application=xbox1 Start Port=2869   End Port=2869   Protocol=TCP      IP Address=(IP of the xbox) Enabled = Checked
> Application=xbox2 Start Port=10280   End Port=10284   Protocol=UDP      IP Address=(IP of the xbox) Enabled = Checked
> Application=xbox3 Start Port=1900   End Port=1900   Protocol=UDP      IP Address=(IP of the xbox) Enabled = Checked
> Application=xbox4 Start Port=10243   End Port=10243   Protocol=UDP      IP Address=(IP of the xbox) Enabled = Checked
> Application=xbox5 Start Port=88   End Port=88   Protocol=Both
      IP Address=(IP of the xbox) Enabled = Checked
> Application=xbox6 Start Port=3074   End Port=3074   Protocol=Both
      IP Address=(IP of the xbox) Enabled = Checked
Good luck!

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.

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?

How do I connect my Xbox 360 to my iMac

I want to use my imac as a TV so i want to know how to connect the xbox 360 to my imac.
Thank you for your support

What iMac model do you have ?
The 2011 ThunderBolt iMacs only work with other ThunderBolt Macs Thunderbolt 10.6 Help: Using another Mac as an external display
For the 2009 and 2010 27" iMacs with Mini DisplayPort you would need something like the Kanex XD http://www.kanexlive.com/xd
The Kanex XD is not compatible with ThunderBolt iMacs.

Connecting to XBox 360 issue

Can anyone help me on this? I have the XBox 360 wifi accessory and when I go to set up my network settings, and do the search for connection to XBox Live, it tells me that it isn't connected, but I've set everything up correctly. I've called XBox and they can't help because they are idiot Microsoft people. I spent $100 bucks on this thing, they won't take it back at Gamestop, and XBox is telling me it is because of my TimeCapsule 500GB Wireless N Router that it can't connect. Can anyone help me get this thing working?
Thanks in advance!

Hey Dizzle,
The XBox 360 wireless network device won't work with 'N' mode, you you need to set your Time Capsule to b/g mode so that your Xbox can connect.
Because I prefer to have my network in 'N' mode (it's faster), the way I've done it is to purchase an Airport Express in addition to the Time Capsule.
This is how to set this up: Plug the Airport Express into a power outlet near your Xbox, then run an ethernet cable from the express into the Xbox ethernet port. In Airport Utility, set up the Express to join an existing network (the one that the Time Capsule is on) and set it up to accept ethernet clients.
If you decide to get an Airport Express, you may be able to sell your Xbox wifi unit on ebay or something.
I hope that helps!

Hi been trying to connect my xbox 360 online and i am h...

Hi been trying to connect my xbox 360 online and i am having major problems my router is a WRT54GS v.6 i have the newest firmware also i also use a linksys wireless adapter for my pc i am connecting my 360 to my pc and doing internet connection sharing i can get a ip address this way but not a dns if i have ics off i do not get a ip address i have tried everything opening ports on my router for the 360 and still nothen i am about to break my router and get a differnt one. me need helps.

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.

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!!!

Connecting with Xbox 360

is there a reason iPhones won't connect with Xbox 360's like iPods did?

Because even though it plays mp3 and has ipod capabilites...it's a phone! Were you able to connect your previous cell phone to your Xbox?

Connecting an XBox 360 & Audigy for 5.1 with HDA-

Hi all,
I am attempting to hook up and Xbox 360 through my Audigy SB060 in order to obtain true 5. surround (running Windows Vista Ultimate).
I have obtained a Hitech HDA-X0 which gives me Optical inputs for the Audigy card and connects to the Audigy via a 20-pin extension header.
Basically I need the sound to go 360--->optical input of X0--->connected to Audigy by 20 pin header--->decoded by Audigy--->analogue outputs to my Logitech 5. speakers.
I have been assured by the people who sold me the X0 that this would work.
Unfortunately the manual is all in Korean!
As best I can make out it says that I ought to set the SPDIF settings in AudioHQ to AC-3 SPDIF-In.
This presents two problems:
. The current drivers for Audigy cards in Vista use Creative Audio Console not AudioHQ and
2. In Audio Console under SPDIF I/O, there are options only for Default and SPDIF Bypass.
When set to SPDIF Bypass there is no sound at all.
When set to default, I get sound from the 360 but only if the 360 is set to Digital Stereo output.
When I set the 360 to Digital 5., the sound sto
ps.
I think my problem lies in the lack of an AC-3 SPDIF-In setting in Audio Console.
Can anyone provide me with a solution?
Thankyou.Message Edited by lachyzee on 2-03-200704:05 AM

Solved my own problem.
Took a look at the Audigy Vista driver release notes and saw that decoding has been disabled.
Once I dual booted into XP, the surround worked perfectly.
Guess I'll be trying out the nomoregoatsoup drivers so I can get it working in Vista too.
Come on Creative, get your act together.

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.

Connecting to xbox 360

Hi. When connecting my 3rd gen nano to my xbox 360 I am able to access my music but not any downloaded movies. Upon reaching the tab to select movies from an external device, the option is not highlighted thus preventing me from doing anything. I have fished around in the music menu but have found nothing. Any help would be appreciated. Btw, I have the most current update on Apple software etc. Thx

But using it for music should work, right? That's my main concern.
My entire music library is in iTunes, where it's going to stay because I find it's superior (in my opinion) to the WMP system...plus I'll be getting a Mac someday soon, so I want to be prepared.
