Xbox 360 Xbox Connection Issue

I know this isn't an Xbox help forum but I have connection issues. I wish to connect online by my computer but it is not working. It keeps telling me, No Connection.

That probably won't work. Your 360 needs to be connected directly to a router, or wirelessly connected to the router.

Not 100% true..

You can connect a laptop/desktop to the Internet say via WiFi and then connect a Ethernet cable from the laptop/desktop to the Xbox meaning you'll be sharing the connection (How I used to run live before purchasing a wireless adapter)

Anyways connect the laptop/desktop to the internet, make sure that the Internet is working by searching a website.. Now that your 100% certain you've got a connection run an Ethernet Cable from the laptop/desktop to your Xbox 360, on your laptop/desktop go into 'Connection Settings choose the connection that linked to Internet and goto properties/advance and tick all 3 of the boxes, should be some crap about sharing the connection! This should work...


Break down;

Connection laptop/desktop to Internet
Run Ethernet cable from the computer to the Xbox
Control Pannel > Manage connection
Find the connection linked to the Internet
Properties > Advance tick the boxes

Thanks!

I don't have a managa connection in my control panel, I have Windows 7. I changed the settings of my connected connection if that is what you want

1. First, have your xbox turned on. Also have your PC on, since this next part is all with the computer. This will probably work with a wired connection as well (but you could probably just hook straight up to your router or modem then), but here it is. First go to start and go into your control panel. Switch to classic view by using the link in the top left corner of the window. Find Network Connections and open it.

2. You should see a "Local Area Connection" (unconnected, this is for the connection to the Xbox) and your internet connection (mine is called "Wireless Network Connection"). Connect the ethernet cable to your laptop and to the back of the 360. Enable the "Local Area Connection". After it is completely connected, disable your internet connection, in my case "Wireless Network Connection". Once is it disable, right click the internet connection and click properties. Go to the Advanced tab and check off "Allow other network users to connect through this computer's internet connection." Allow this to finish, it may take a little bit. Once it is done, your internet connection should say shared next to the status of the connection.

3. Enable your internet connection. Once it is fully connected, right click the "Local Area Connection" and click repair. Allow that to finish. On your Xbox, find the system panel and navigate through it until you find "Test Connection to Xbox Live". Test the connection. If it works, congratulations, you don't need this next part. For some, at this point, they get a DNS error. There are a number of ways to fix this. None of them worked for me however (at least on the places I looked). So I found my own way. If my way doesn't work for you, then you can search in google for it and you should get a number of other troubleshooting tips.

4. You must have a connection to a router. If you have a wired connection to a modem, then I don't know what is the problem. In order to be able to navigate the internet again you need to disable the "Local Area Connection" and then repair the Internet Connection (follow steps above to enable everything again once you are done). Go to http://192.168.0.1 . You will be asked for a login. On most routers it is:
Username: admin
Password: (no password)

If this does not work, look up the login information for you router model. Once logged in, you must find where your DNS server IPs would be listed. I only have specific information for my router, so if you can't find it, look up where to find the IPs on your router model. My router is a D-Link DI-514. On the left side-bar, Wizard should be highlighted. On the top bar, click Status. Under WAN you should find DNS IPs. Manually input these into your Xbox (rather than have it find them automatically) and test your connection again. At this point it should be working. Any other errors can be search for online. I just felt that this specific one should be mentioned, because all the fixes available (AFAIK) did not work for me.
