I have only router and i cannot connect Xbox to internet with cable because router is like one floor below me and i can only connect to internet on my laptop via wi-fi. What exactly step by step i can do to connect my Xbox 360 to my laptop with wi-fi internet connection with internet cable so i will have internet connection on my Xbox 360 after connecting it to the laptop?

• Answer:

  Step 1 Connect an Ethernet cable to the Xbox 360's rear network port. Connect the other end of the cable to the Ethernet port on the laptop. Ensure the laptop has an active wireless network connection. Step 2 Activate Internet sharing on the laptop. On a Windows system, open the Network Connections window and right click on the "Local Area Connection" icon. Select "Properties" from the list. Only administrative accounts can access these settings. In OSX, open the "System Preferences" window and select "Sharing." Step 3 Click the "Sharing" tab in Windows and check the "Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection" box. Click "OK" to save the changes. In OSX, click on "Internet Sharing." Select the incoming wireless connection in the "Share your connection from" menu, and select the Ethernet option in the "To computers using" menu. Step 4 Turn on the Xbox and open the "System Settings" menu. Select "Network Settings" from the list and open the "Wired Network" section. Step 5 Select "Configure Network" and ensure the system's IP address configuration is set to "Automatic." If it is not, press "A" to change the option. Sign in with an Xbox Live profile to connect the system to the Internet. The laptop must remain on and connected to the wireless network to keep the connection active.
