Connecting via Laptop after WiFi Adapter Change

Hi all. Thank you for clicking and (hopefully) reading.

Today, I fixed a problem that had been plaguing my laptop for some time and got it to recognize its internal WiFi adapter. This, unfortunately, broke my Xbox 360's connection to the network.

Previously, I was running the Xbox in to my laptop via ethernet, and the laptop to the gateway via a Cisco AE1200 USB adapter. I had configured static IP addresses for the Xbox and the ethernet port. By pointing the Xbox to the ethernet port's address, and
then the ethernet port to the laptop's address, I was able to get out to the internet on the Xbox and thus out to Xbox Live. [It should be noted here that this was because connection sharing and bridging did not work previously]

This unfortunately has ceased working after fixing the internal adapter (Intel Centrino Advanced-N 1000). I adjusted the ethernet port's gateway and DNS server to point to the laptop's new IP address, but it was no use.

I then began following a number of guides, both from Microsoft and from the internet at large on how I could be able to get my Xbox connected again via ethernet-laptop-wifi combo. I have tried guides which involve Internet Connection Sharing, which does
not work. I am unable to connect to the computer, when running the "Test PC Connection" test. I then tried guides on internet connection bridging, bridging the ethernet port to the wifi adapter. This did not work. For whatever reason, the automatic network
configuration for the Xbox was trying to assign an IP address which didn't follow any other address nomenclature on the network - something like 168.254.x.x while everything else is 192.168.x.x.

I have a feeling this is either a firewall issue with the laptop, or a gateway issue.

I am running a Motorola SBG6580 gateway and Windows 7.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

there is a delay over wifi but it works. you can speed things up by connecting your xbox and laptop via wire to your router.

 

Cannot connect to internet via WiFi to reach XBOX Live

Dear support group,

I am having trouble connecting to the internet via WiFi. System is connecting via ethernet connection. Problems started about a week ago when the power supply started acting up and shutting the system down. I did go through all the suggested problem
shooting steps, with no avail. WiFi is working and is strong enough, as tested with laptop which is working fine. Please note that console worked fine with WiFi until about a week ago. Is it possible that the WLAN card IN the console is defective? Can I order
a new one or can I buy a wireless adapter instead?

Console:

XBOX 360 S

Model: 1439



thanks!
