Hi and welcome to my blog,

I opened this blog to help anyone who is preparing for his SAT.
I remember myself when I started - I was so lost and in such a panic.
Luckily I got this great SAT guide that helped me a lot . So study hard and good luck!



So I have an Xbox 360 in my room but my desktop is too far away to easily run an ethernet cable to it. I do however have a laptop with a wireless adapter on it. I did some Googleing and found that people have been able to do this through network sharing. I tried it but still no luck. When the Xbox tests the connection, it retrieves the IP address but it is unable to retrieve the DNS. Anyone got any answers?

    You have to bridge your Local Area Network Connection and your Wireless Network Connection. Then run the wire from your laptop to your XBOX and it should work just fine (I had it setup like this for almost a year and it worked great!).
