Bridging An X-box

SERVANTATHEART · 03-03-2006, 03:32 PM

I have added another e-net card to my computer. I am running dsl from my wall outlet to my dsl modem to my comp., and then back out from comp. on a crossover cable to my x-box....many of my gaming freinds have done this, and is working....my prob: the (2) e-net cards are bridged, with no prob, the prob comes when I log on to x-box live, I'm always losing my internet connection to my comp., but x-box stays live. I can only log on to internet if I am logged out of x-box....everyone else is keeping both connections on at the same time....???????what am I doing wrong....thanx!!!

Since you don't have a router on your network, have you made sure that the IP addresses in the computer and the Xbox aren't the SAME?

Besides that, not sure what could be up... I don't mess with bridging traffic through 2 NIC's on 1 PC, I just connect to my router.

I'll have to check, everyone including myself, just checked the auto configure, and that worked for everyone else.
