gEEEk Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Hello guys. You see, I want to be able to use my computer as a wireless bridge for my 360 since I don't have a wireless adapter for it. So, Xbox 360 connected to computer via ethernet, and the computer is connected to my router wirelessly. What I want to do is port forward a couple of ports to my xbox 360 which is using the computers wireless adapter, is it possible? And how would I do that? Because the 360 does not have it's own ip adress, since it's using the wireless card in the computer right? I would guess that I first port forward the ports to the computer, and then from the computer I port to the xbox 360. But I really have no idea.. The computer is running Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit if that'll give you any help.. / gEEEk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 It depends, if you simply bridged the two adapters the Xbox will have it's own IP address on the network. If you used ICS, you need to be set a light and be taught not to do that again, then change it to bridged mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopez1364 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Sparda is right. Your 360 will be assigned an IP and you should use bridged mode (which is super simple). From there you should be able to assign ports to that IP that was given to your xbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aww come on, ICS has its moment, admittedly its a very dark moment when its useful, but its saved my ass more than once... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h3%5kr3w Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 <-never successfully got ICS or bridged mode to work... But I got dhcpx and dns in linux working :) But then, you can download utils for windows that automate it super easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
