6. Step 6

   Go back to "network connections" and Right click on the Xbox Live Connection and go to properties. click on internet protocol (TCP/IP) and click properties. Elect the "use the following IP addresses:" and "use the following DNS serves addresses:" options (if they are not selected already). Enter the following info: IP address: 192.168.0.99/Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0/Default Gateway: (Leave Blank) AND Preferred DNS: (Enter the first DNS Server you saved from the last step)/Alternate DNS: (Enter the Second DNS Server you saved from the last step)

10. Step 10

    Just like before, go to "Network Connections". Right click on your Wireless Network Connection and then go to properties. Then click on advance. Check the box saying 'allow other users to connect to internet through this computer'. A message should pop up, click yes. If an error message appears for conflict in IP address, this means you did not change the IP address of your router (DNS server). Please refer above in the manual on how to do so. If an error message appears for the specified service does not exist as an installed service then you must re-install your copy of windows. If any other error occurs then carefully re-read all the steps. If that does not work send me a Message about your problem. If no errors occur your Xbox 360 is now connected to the internet. DO NOT proceed to step 11, you are finished.

11. Step 11

    You will have to change this DNS server number or it will conflict your IP address. This can be done by changing your router settings. The person who set up your router will most likely know how to do this. If not you can also do it by reading the router manual. Most of the routers have same setups so it should work for you. In extreme conditions if it doesn't work you can do it using your router manual. Type 192.168.0.1 into the address bar of Internet Eplorer, This is going to take you to a screen where you have to enter your username and password. Under advanced set up go to LAN IP setup. do not click or change any DNS setups. We just want to change the IP. Change the LAN IP address to 192.168.1.1 and then the the IP address ranges also e.g. 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.250. the sub net mask should be 255.255.255.0 In Future, If you want to change your router setting you will have to type 192.168.1.1 in internet explorer. Take down the number 192.168.1.1, this is your DNS server now. Go back to step 6.
