The dns numbers wont work so i tried plugging in the ip address number which also does not work helllp please what do i do???
What is your routers default address? Remember this “On the DNS servers: Input 192.168.0.1 or what ever your routers ip is. Some routers use 192.168.1.1″
i have done all the things u said and the IP ADD is now valid on my 360 but the DNS fails!! what should i do?
The gateway must be that one provide by the mac’s Ethernet port. Which by default is “192.168.2.1″ Also your wireless router shouldn’t be to far. And if you keep having issues reboot your router and modem.
Was is your routers default IP?
I tried this with my mac, it worked beautifully, thanks desz
i have put the same number as u said for the gateway but still the DNS fails, my routers IP is as same as the gateway.
That’s your problem Sina. You have to insert 192.168.2.1 for the gateway and give your 360 192.168.2.2 for the IP.
Desz let me explain, i get internet from an ADSL modem. then i connect the ADSL modem to a Wireless AP Router wich i get internet on my i mac from it using Airport. the IP on my main modem(ADSL) is 192.168.0.2 and the Gateway is 192.168.0.1 . while the IP for the Router is 192.168.2.3 . its a little bit complicated but tell me what u think should i do. Thx
Hey Desz i think u didnt saw my last post, dude i really need ure answer ;-]
Umm, go get a wireless adapter at Best Buy for $99.99….lol j/k
Have you gave your 360 192.168.2.2 already? Did you turn off IPv4?
Yes, all is done. but i dont know whats the problem?? this thing is freaking me out…
This worked perfectly sharing my connection from my iMac, which is connected to a cable modem via an Airport Express base station. The only thing missing is that my NAT is marked as “moderate”, which I’m guessing is a port forwarding issue. I’ll have to check that out.
DESZ happy birthday dude, i c its ure bithday and ure a bit busy and cannot solve my problem, im still havin this ******* problem and its bothering me frankly, i think the only way is buying the wireless adaptor for my 360, lol
Thanks!
Now before you give up, you should post up a link with some print screens/pics of your settings. I want to see what could be wrong.
