ICS With Xbox 360

[Brummiesteven]

Hi Everyone,

 

I followed this tutorial to try and get my Mac sharing the net connection with the 360:

 

The following procedure is confirmed to work as written.

Start Internet Sharing if it’s not already running.

In Terminal, type cp /etc/bootpd.plist /tmp/bootpd.plist

Stop Internet Sharing.

Open /tmp/bootpd.plist for editing using TextEdit or whatever.

Locate this section of the file, near the end:

reply_threshold_seconds

4

Change the value 4 to 0.

In Terminal, type sudo cp /tmp/bootpd.plist /etc

Start Internet Sharing.

If you want to, check that your change to /etc/bootpd.plist hasn’t been reverted.

 

My Xbox 360 can connect to the mac but not to the internet, claiming there is a DNS error.

 

I'm pretty sure that this is a mac problem and not a 360 one, I have only just installed ethernet drivers.

 

Originally, this was a screenshot of the Ethernet config:

 

 

It says "Ethernet has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect." so I changed it to manual config, giving it an IP Address which I know isn't currently assigned no my network:

 

 

Yet... I still can't get past this DNS error on the 360. I have tried both Automatic and Manual (192.168.1.254) DNS settings on the Xbox.

 

Any Suggestions?
