When you are sure your connection to the internet is good, right-click the network icon on the taskbar and select Network and Sharing Center. NOTE: Take this time to be sure the connection is good enough in your desired place, some routers are stronger than others.

Onto the next step. Highlight them both, and then right click. From there, click Bridge Connections , or something like that. Give it a few minutes to bridge the connections. Once the two connections are bridged, go to the next step. Now its time to hook up the Xbox. When you have your Xbox in the desired place, get the Ethernet cable and plug it in. Then, connect it to your laptop. Now, simply go to the settings tab on the Xbox, and select Network Settings. Run the test, and it should be successful.

So what did bridging the connections do? By creating a bridge, you connected the wireless and LAN connections together. The LAN provides a network to any computer connected to it In this case, the Xbox , and the bridge will connect the Internet connection, and the Local Area Connection together providing internet. Easy, huh? Easy enough to not understand. Now get your bag if chips and pop, sit back, call a few buddies and play Xbox Live with each other.

When I Try To Bridge My Two Networks and it said the following: "To create a network bridge, you must select at least two LAN or high-speed internet connections that are not being used by Internet conection sharing" What did i do wrong? Reply 12 years ago on Step 2. To select both networks wireles and LAN you must high light both at the same time in order to bridge.

How do you highlight both at once??? When you are on the "Manage Network Connections" page you will see 2 connection options.. Hope this helps!!! If you need more details just let me know.
