SAT Questions

I am trying to connect my xbox using my wireless adapter in my laptop. I know it is a fairly simple process of enabling the ICS on the LAN connection. When I attempt to check the box the message I receive is "ICS cannot be enabled, A LAN connection is already configured with the IP address that is required for automatic IP addresses." I have no idea what to do. I know there is a way to use an ethernet cable from laptop to Xbox 360 but I cannot fix this problem. I also know you can bridge the wireless connection in your laptop to your LAN which I tried but that would connect either. When I tried on xbox it failed the IP test. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I DO NOT want to spend 99 on that rip off wireless adapter…

im using the ethernet cable that came with the 360 to connect it to my laptop but the ip address failed during the connection test

Ok here’s the deal, i have my laptop and xbox 360 which is on one side of the room (this is quite a long room, not sure how long but i dont feel like measuring) and i have the desktop computer in the other end of the room which is connected to a wireless router. What i want to do is connect my Xbox to my laptop and then using my laptop connect to the internet, just in case ill put a little diagram:
XBOX 360 <ETHERNET CABLE> LAPTOP <WIRELESS> DESKTOP/ROUTER <INTERNET>

Now ive been google-ing around and have found many people asking the same thing and others sharing their success in connecting and saving the money instead of buying a wireless connection for xbox, i have tried a few of these methods and none have yet worked, i have tried: making a bridge connection between my wireless and xbox cable and that didnt work and just plain connecting the xbox to my laptop and wirelessly connecting. i have tried both multiple times and nothing seems to work and aside from this topic sometimes my laptop doesnt recognize the xbox and when i do xbox-laptop connection test it fails. sorry for the long question but i really wanted to express in detail.

I have a motorola SB5120 Surfboard cable modem, I use this modem for my laptop to access the internet. I just recently got a xbox gold one month membership and i am trying to get online. I took the ethernet cable out of my computer to use it for xbox live, but every time I press test connection it fails. PLEASE HELP!!!

I use a laptop to receive the wireless signal and an ethernet cable to give it to the xbox 360. I used to stay at an apartment and it ran fine on less than strong signal. Now the signal is awesome, but i cant get it to connect. My router works, my laptop is receiving the signal, the ethernet cable is good. When I try the test, it never gets past network. What should i do?

We have a netgear wireless router mr814vtw which links to a ntl modem and pc. Upstairs we have a fujitsu laptop which has an inbuilt wireless modem. We have connected this via an ethernet cable to the xbox 360. We followed the advice of some web forums in setting ip numbers but the xbox test fails at DNS test. Followed all advice but we are not getting further. Suggestions and advice gratefully received.
