Hello all!
I was wondering if there was any way I could connect to xbox live using my university's network.
When I run an xbox live setup test the MTU fails to connect, is there any way around this?
Every time I want to use the internet to browse the net on my pc, I have to authenticate with a user name and password. I cant do this when I am on the xbox.
When searching for ideas, the term 'bridging' has come up a lot, sadly I do not have a clue how to connect through bridging, so if anyone could explain to me the process I would be a happy bunny!
Any other ideas would be welcome!
This quote seems to be helpful, I can't really make much sense out of it though:
"I was using a desktop PC in my dorm room and we had a specific website that we went to to enter a username and password for the Campus network. This would allow us access to the network for a 2 hour period. Basically I put a second network card in my PC and set up a bridge between the two cards so that the second network card would simply pass all it's traffic to the first one. I would then authenticate for network access like normal and then boot up my xbox and connect it to the second network card with a crossover cable (a regular network cable can be used with the 360). "
Thanks a lot people, I hope you can get me connected!!!
GMAN
p.s. because I cant really install a second network card into my laptop, would a router suffice?
