Re: Connecting Laptop to XBOX 360 - IP Conflict

I've decided to do it the ICS way, this way the computer acts as the router.
I've ticked the box to allow the internet connection to be shared but I am
still receiving these IP confict messages. Any ideas?

The only other way that may be possible is by using ICS and setting up the laptop
as the gateway, otherwise check the links I provided in my first response.

I was hoping to do it without the router since I've been told it's possible.
How do I get around these IP conflicts without the use of a router?

I have an existing home LAN network.

Please describe this network and the router it uses.

When I try to connect my xbox 360 to the
laptop there appears to be an IP conflict. This is probably because the
laptop has been configured previously to be networked via LAN cable to
another PC.

If it was connected directly to another PC, it probably has a fixed IP
address. Change it to DHCP when you install the router.

How do I solve these IP conflicts. It results in the xbox 360 not
being able to get the IP address from the laptop. Inserting it manually
also
does not work.

I would suggest that you actually solve the problem by getting a router and
configuring it properly. Routers are cheap these days and easy to set up.
