Ok I have a question regarding Internet Connection Sharing between my XBOX and PC.
My goal is to be able to go into Xbox Media Center and play movies, music and other through my computer which is in the other room. Connecting the XBOX to the router is out of the question because the router is in another part of the house.
Now, I have the XBOX connected to my PC using a CAT6 RJ-45 Crossover Cable. (One end goes into the XBOX, the other goes into my Linksys PCI Ethernet Card in my computer). Under the Properties of the Network Connection (PCI Card) I have enabled Internet Connection Sharing.
Do I need to set an IP for the XBOX in settings? Do I even need to have an IP set? I am not wanting to use the internet, just to be able to browse the files of the XBOX from my PC, or vice versa.
I have the connections connected correctly, I just need the settings. If someone could help I would be much obliged.
Thank you!

you will still need to set the xbox to dhcp.
then reset the box for the new i.p. confiq to activate.
you should end up with an i.p. that look`s the same as a manual one.
At the very top it says "Current IP: 0.0.0.0", but under the DHCP it says what I wrote above. The first being the IP, then the Netmask, then the Gateway.
Now if I want to browse from XBOX Media Center, where do I go? XBSWORKGROUPS?
Any other settings required?
Thanks

Since you posted in two places, bro, I'll post what I posted in the other one for ya here:

I just have my media center set to DCHP to automatically pick up an IP when it connects (usually using whatever IP the box grabs when it boots through UnleashX) and use the "Workgroups (SMB)" option to access my computer under the various categories. Hell, for UnleashX to connect to the internet for anything (Gamesaves, dash updates, skins, etc...) it's gotta be set to DCHP, static won't work for some daffy reason.
Hope that does end up helpin in the end. AND MAKE SURE YOUR COMPUTER IS SET TO SHARE THE FOLDERS YOU WANT! (WinXP, right click your folder (or HDD) that you wanna share, go to properties, and Sharing tab and enable sharing for that folder/drive) and it will show up under Workgroups (SMB) _________________ "That which does not kill you, only makes you stronger."
