[haroldlee11]

FUCK XBOX. MICROSOFT SUCKS! SELLING THE PIECE OF CRAP AND GETTING MY PS3 BACK.

[macosftw]

@haroldlee11 Good for you! Gaming is a giant marketing hoax anyways, so enjoy!

[KINGSOFQUEENS218]

It tells me I have a DNS error, what should I do?

[7GMcG7]

Ive done everything you've asked in the video but it says: IP address error when I try to connect to xbox live

[andredw]

do i use the ip you gave me

[macosftw]

@andredw Yes

[whumbo7whale]

will this still work if you have your computer using wifi? and you connect your xbox with an ethernet cable or no?

[macosftw]

@whumbo7whale Yes. Most Macs run off of WiFi using Airport. That's what I use. So Connect the Ethernet and it will be fine.

[KevBEZ5]

-___- this is wild idk if its just me but when i put this in the first time it work perfectly fine then i tried XBL the next day and it won't sign me on :( my mac is GAY

[macosftw]

@KevBEZ5 Sometimes this happens. Try doing the whole process again.

[KevBEZ5]

wow out of all the videos that i seen that seem like they will work didn't. but this poorly made video did DAMN lol had to thumbs up for that

[xSpeciality]

when i click wired network it says "to use a wired internet connection, make sure an ethernet cable is connected to both your router or modem" when its plugged into my laptop and my xbox. help? asap?

[JonasHamill]

I can't find the option in system prefs? Any help? D:

[macosftw]

@JonasHamill That's odd. Go to Preferences -> Sharing -> Internet Sharing

Hope that works!

[macosftw]

@JonasHamill Or just Network -> Sharing -> Ethernet

[JonasHamill]

@macosftw

Just figured out I don't need anything to be ticked, maybe it's a Lion thing, but it does it automatically :)

[Gphazor]

Why doesn't this vid have more views? I've seen more technically detailed and instructive vids than this, but most of them still show a chance of failing. this worked right off the bat. (Sign of Approval)

[macosftw]

@Gphazor Thanks man I really tried on this video. It worked for a ton of people.

thanks for the support!

Subscribing would help, too :)

[macosftw]

@kittyandstars777 It's absolutely normal. But may I inform you: Use this tutorial at your own risk! :P

[redsbluer4]

[JSrEdnAs]

Got an error message sayin,

"You can connect to xbox live, but your current network config may limit your online experience. Select more info for a description on the problem and how you can fix it."

Big problem?

[macosftw]

@JSrEdnAs Nope, not at all. I remember this happening to me too. You click "More Info" or something an exit out. Then you click "Connect to XBOX LIVE" and it should work.

If anything, go on Xbox forums or google this error message. It does not prevent you from connecting

[xMrItalianox]

was i supposed to use the ip address and stuff that you showed on your video?

[macosftw]

@xMrItalianox Yup. The exact same ones in the description

[XDL0LproductionZ]

it still says it cant find the IP address? iv gone online before but actually using a modem now i have no idea how this crap work can you help me out?

[macosftw]

@XDL0LproductionZ Maybe someone else can help you. A lot of people have just followed the instructions in the video and it worked for them. It worked for me.

[XDL0LproductionZ]

@XDL0LproductionZ fack... lmao ok thanks

[jellymanjo1]

i am sorry but should i write my ip adress and gate way? or should i write yours? and if i have to write my ip adress, subnet mask, gateway. pls tell how can i find our my ip adress, subnet mask and gateway? please help me.

[SaNtArOsA7073]

[macosftw]

@SaNtArOsA7073 I'm sorry, but I don't know what a strict ip address is. Can you explain?

[LuKiNaToR2902]

@SaNtArOsA7073

[ChrisIsai]

Thank you!

[macosftw]

@ChrisIsai Np plz sub!!:D

[NickcPineda]

the 360 can connect to the network but the network cant connect to the internet. why?!?!?!?!

[blakefire5]

thanks for the help it worked god!!!!

[macosftw]

@blakefire5 No problem! Glad that it worked! Please subscribe

[blakefire5]

@macosftw i could not get back on thou

[macosftw]

@blakefire5 Do not unplug the ethernet cord or turn off your computer while you are connected. It will disconnect you. I have no clue how you can't get on, try again? Or just make sure that box is checked that is allowing you to share internet through the ethernet cord.

[albo622]

fuck yes thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ranndumbness]

didnt work man

[macosftw]

@Ranndumbness Sorry I don't know any other methods. Try to look around on youtube, this seems to work just fine for me.
