Local area connection with xbox problems

[Lowell024]

Hello all,

 

I'm having problems with my local area connection. I am connected to the internet through a wireless router with a wireless network card. I have the local area connection on my computer enabled and I am still able to connect to the internet. However when I turn on my Xbox 360 and my Xbox connects with the local area connection I lose my connection to the internet. My setup is as follows:

 

I have my computer connected with the internet through a wireless router and network card.

I have an ethernet cable (the one that came with my xbox) plugged in to the ethernet port on my computer and the other end of the cord is plugged in to the ethernet port on my Xbox.

 

Now my computer reconizes my Xbox and vice versa. But like I just said whenever I turn on my Xbox and my Xbox connects to my computer I lose my connection on my computer.

 

I would apprecate any help anyone can give me with this problem. Many thanks in advance.

You will be getting IP address conflicts.

 

You need to enable static IP addresses within the router, or plug the Xbox Ethernet cable directly into one of the ports on the back of the router, there are normally 5 ports on the back of a router, 1 is the IN (where the internet connection goes) and the other 4 are for additional devices you want to attach to the network.

 

Remember that the Xbox 360 only has a 100MB per second network card, so your Network card within the PC needs to be set on Auto for the speed (if its set at Gigabit you will lose the connection)
