How to use your mac computer as an xbox wireless adapter

Any IP ranges using the 10.0.x.x or 192.168.x.x ranges will work. It's best if you don't use the same IP range as your router. If your router has an IP of 192.168.1.1 use a 10.0.x.x range and vice versa. I'll use the 10.0.0.x range for example...


Mac OS 10.4.x ( TIger )

1) System Preferences-->Network-->Built-in Ethernet-->TCP/IP

3) System Preferences-->Sharing-->Internet

Mac OS 10.5.x ( Leopard )

XBOX 360

1) While in the Dashboard, navigate to My Xbox-->System Settings

2) Network Settings-->Configure Network-->IP Settings-->Manual

3) Set IP Address to 10.0.0.2 ( The first three segments i.e. 10.0.0 will need to match what you set in step #2 of the Mac OS X section )

- Set Subnet Mask to 255.255.255.0

- Set Gateway to 10.0.0.1 ( What you set in step #2 under the Mac OS X section )

- Click Done

4) Go to DNS Settings

*** NOTE: I set the primary to my router and the secondary to my ISP's primary. You can find your router's IP by going to your MacBook and to System Preferences-->Network-->Airport-->TCP/IP ( 10.4.x ) or System Preferences-->Network-->Airport-->Advanced-->TCP/IP ( 10.5.x )

*** NOTE: You can usually find your ISP's DNS servers in your routers status page, see the manual that came with your router for more information
