Connect to Xbox Live - Through Your Mac?!? |
Step 1: turn off your Xbox 360 and connect a standard ethernet crossover cable from the network port of the 360 to the ethernet port on your Mac. On the Mac, go to System Preferences>Sharing. Click the "Internet" tab. On the "Share your connection from..." drop-down, select AirPort. Check Built-in Ethernet on the box underneath, then press 'Start'. You will get a cautionary dialogue box; accept it. Your window should look like this:
Step 2: Turn on your 360, go to the dahboard
and navigate to the System pane. Select "Network Settings" and then
"Edit Settings". Change IP settings to Manual. Back in OS X, enter
Terminal and type, without quotes: "ifconfig en0". The first IP
address, which is probably 192.168.2.1, is your Gateway address. Enter this on your Xbox. For IP address, enter 192.168.2.2, and
255.255.255.0 for the Subnet Mask.
Step 3: Save your settings on your Xbox 360. It may automatically test the new connection; ignore this, because it will fail. Go back into the settings menu and this time choose DNS Settings, making this manual as well. Next, you'll need to go back into Terminal and type in "dig" (again, without quotes) and press enter. At the bottom of the results you will find a line saying "SERVER:" (see below). The IP address following (underlined below) is your Primary DNS server, so enter that into your Xbox. Don't enter anything under Secondary DNS server.
In Network Settings on the Dashboard, select "Test Xbox Live Connection". You should now be able to connect to Xbox Live.

This is the same way to do it with the xbox!!!!!!
First that isnt a hack at all. That is something that anyone could do, anytime. Its not a glitch or anything with the mac either, its simply called "sharing" because thats what it is. You guys put anything up for a story, no matter how dumb it is.
well good for you, genius. the rest of who didnt know that, this is some really cool stuff. i have a mac and all the stuff that ever comes out is for that crap OS windows. this is really useful too, i finally dont have to worry about where i put my router!
THe apple people said u couldnt do it so i would call it a hack
@ #2, oh ya its such a crap os, thats why i can do the same thing as this post by just clicking a button.
The PC vs Mac wars have been goin on before some of you were even born. Macs have stability on their side. By making the software restricted to certain hardware, they can optimize the OS for that hardware and maximize the usage of that hardware. Therefore it runs more stable and faster when compared to PC with similar hardware. PCs have the ability to be scaled to what they need to run. unlike macs, you must pay for the hardware they have no matter if you need all that power or not. Since its too time consuming to optimize the OS to every single piece of hardware you can get for a PC thats why they leave the drivers up to the people who manufacture the hardware. Now onto the topic. this really isnt anything new. I have been doing this for my friends for a while now to link the mac to other hardware. While this isnt anything new, and its not a hack, its an unknown method of sharing that people dont know about. The people in apple support are idiots just like most of the people in windows support. Most of them read from script and dont really know advanced configurations of the OS itself to solve these little issues. These kinds of tecniques should be on this site for those who own a Mac. I can do more things on my PC then any of my friends can do on their macs. Does that make my PC better? Yes it does. But it does not mean that every PC is better then a mac.
i'm sure you can easily do this with windows..i would have done this with my PS2, but here in the UK, if the PS2 was too closely linked to the modem, it didnt work coz you had to pay £2 a month to the ISP..however, using a router fooled them and it worked :) this doesnth really sound like anything special..and its certainly isnt a hack...
Hey i'm about to buy a 360 and want to do this and i tested the terminal and it wasn't that weird number it was different. Will sombody tell me if this will still work before i buy one please!!!
