If it is then change either it or the IP of the computer NIC).

After making the changes be sure to restart the X-Box so it will renew it's address.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Connection-Sharing-Need-ICS-Media-Center-Extender-23320576 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 13:38:39 EDT Re: [Connection Sharing] Need ICS + Media Center Extender http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Connection-Sharing-Need-ICS-Media-Center-Extender-23320053
For starters, I have my PC hooked up to the modem port in my router. When I put it to one of the regular lan ports it doesn't work at all.

The IP for the xbox is dynamic.

I'm sharing from the Media Center Extender to the Xbox because it doesn't allow me to transfer MP3s. :O]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Connection-Sharing-Need-ICS-Media-Center-Extender-23320053 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 12:05:20 EDT Re: [Connection Sharing] Need ICS + Media Center Extender http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Connection-Sharing-Need-ICS-Media-Center-Extender-23319199 First thing first, you are not able access the router home page from your PC.

Are you able to access the internet from your Windows 7 PC?

How do you try to access the router home?

Get the defualt gatway IP address from the LAN settings.

Type that IP addresses in the browser.

When you will be able to access the router home page, you will able to see that the what ip addresses gets the XBOX.

Stop any kind of sharing before u r make sure u can ping the XBOX from your PC.

Ask a question here, I will answer.

Thanks

Here is my current setup:
cell phone tethered > PC > wireless router > Xbox/ps3/wifi

My PC is sharing the connection to the router > xbox which forces the IP to be static (192.168.0.1). With ICS you are sharing the internet provided by the cell phone and using a wireless router to send it to the X-Box ? From the NIC of the computer which port did you connect to on the router ? It should be to a LAN port.

said by Makoto:

I can't ping my xbox... I can't find the xbox on my network.
What is the IP address of the Xbox ? Is it assigned by DHCP or did you set it statically ?
said by Makoto:

I was on tech support with a media center expert for a full hour and he couldn't help me.
That was because he is being paid.
said by Makoto:

Is there any way to have a static IP / Internet Connection Sharing setup and still share files via Media Center Extender?
If Media Center Extender shares files the same way Windows shares files then YES ! What device are you sharing the files to, and how does that device connect to your network ?
said by Makoto:

Another hinderence: I can't connect to my router's settings page on this PC, even when allowing IP settings via internet enabled.
Again, which port of the router are you plugged into ? Plug into the LAN port and tell me the IP address of the router's LAN port.
said by Makoto:

Maybe something's just majorly wrong with my setup.
Yer prolly right.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Connection-Sharing-Need-ICS-Media-Center-Extender-23318332 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 02:06:11 EDT [Connection Sharing] Need ICS + Media Center Extender http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Connection-Sharing-Need-ICS-Media-Center-Extender-23293348

edit: At the very least could someone explain why this is not possible?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Connection-Sharing-Need-ICS-Media-Center-Extender-23293348 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 21:11:09 EDT
