Hello,
I have the original Xbox 360 model that doesn't have the built in wireless adapter. To connect to LIVE, I'd like to do what I usually do and connect the ethernet cord to my laptop and my Xbox and bridge the connections; however, this method seems to fail recently, and I'm not sure why. I've tried internet sharing connections, but this causes my connection to lag really badly, and I'd rather fix the bridge than try to share the internet between both devices.
The Xbox says I have an IP address Error preventing me from connecting to the network. I've tried troubleshooting on www.xbox.com and reinstalling the LAN/ethernet drivers to no avail. I'm running Windows 7 64 bit on a Dell Inspiron n5110. The Xbox and laptop are both setup to automatically assign IP and DNS addresses.
Here is the output for ipconfig in command prompt for the connections without the network bridge or ethernet cord connected:
