Yesterday I was messing around trying to get my xbox live running through my computer instead of the local switch (as was before).
Map:
Cable Modem --> Router --> Switch --> Switch --> Xbox
--> Computer
In my computer I have 1 built-in ethernet port and a PCI NIC card. After Several (hours) attempts to get my xbox to work by using the computers internet connection, I finnally managed to get it to work. I tried for a while using ICS, only to find out that I can't since i already have a 192.168.0.1 on the network, however when I bridged my two NIC devices it somehow worked. LAst night, I removed the bridge and today I tried making it work again and it failed.
ON the xbox troubleshoot, it says Cables Connected, IP settings configured but fails to find the DNS.
My problem:
Today I noticed, whenever I went to use my browser, I could view sites just like normal but then making 2-5minutes after computer boots up, it just wont load any website at all. I tried using both NIC cards for internet connection and they both did the same thing. (Also, xbox is through the switch like it use to and it works fine). All this time, programs such as AIM and MSN work fluently.
I tried repair connection on both nic devices after the timeout and before stuff timesout , and it has no luck. Also, the bridge has been removed (Cuz i don't need that unless i use my xbox through pc)
I just really need to figure out and solve this timeout problem that is only fixed by rebooting (and im tired of rebooting so often), also how I can get my xbox to work through the computers internet (like once did).
thanks
