Ok guys here is one I hope you can help me with,

I am trying to connect my windows vista pc with my xbox 360. Here is what I have done so far

Connected my pc with the xbox via a crossover cable, I also run a wireless internet through a router to the same pc. Why don't I plug the xbox into the router well because the router is at the other end of the house, I don't have the wireless adapter for the 360 nor a network cable long enough to reach the router.

My issue when I do the media test on the xbox it tells me that it is wired but fails when it gets to obtaining a IP. I have tried to manually config the pc and the xbox and still does the same thing. Which means I can not connect my media center up properly

My vista machine tells me that the network is there but says it is unidentifed then it tells me that DCHP is enabled which in my mind says that I should be able to get a IP on the 360

Also can I share my wireless internet connection to my 360 via Vistas ICS using my pc's network port as a gateway like thing

any help please
