When I activate ICS for my Lan connection, my wireless internet connection stops working?
Author: admin // Category: internet connection wirelessI'm running windows xp sp3 and I'm trying to use Internet connection sharing to connect to xbox live with my 360, but whenever I activate ICS, even if the lan connection is disabled, my wireless connection stops working.
so how can I fix this?
do you mean the ICS (internet connection sharing firewall)
that one is out dated it was released with XP and XP SP1
the Windows Firewall replaces it they just didn't take the other one out
if you're using a wireless router then you don't need go through the internet connection wizard either
your 360 and your PC can share the connection through the router
just connect each one separately
if you don't have a router and are trying to allow your 360 to pass through your XP machine you still don't need the ICS but need to use 2 active network cards and use the network setup wizard
Ω
> this computer connects directly to the internet
> all other computers connect to the internet through this PC
setup when the 360 is connected to the internet through the XP machine must be (2 wired, or 1 wired and 1 wireless, but not 2 wireless)
