XBox 360 -> Internet using my iMac's Airport.

October 1, 2008 1:37 PM

I have a brand new Xbox 360 with the wireless internet adapter. I have an iMac in the same room running Leopard (10.5.5). I would like to use Leopard's "internet sharing" function to allow the Xbox to access my connection without getting a wireless router involved. In other words Cable Modem -> iMac -> Xbox.

The XBox states [NETWORK NAME] [CONNECTED], but it shows that the link is red-lighted and when I test the Xbox LIVE Connection, it confirms that the network adapter is in use but the Wireless Network is Not Connected. I've used the procedure for 10.5 described on this page and the reply_threshold_seconds integer has been set to zero and it stays that way. I've even rebooted and renamed the sharing "network" What am I missing?

Oh, screw it. I went and bought an AirPort Express and everyone is happy, except the neighbors because I put a password on the network.
