I am trying to connect my xbox 360 to xbox live via my laptop computer which is connected to my wireless network in my house. However, every time I try I select: "Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection" I get the following error message:
"An error occurred while Internet Connection Sharing was being enabled."
I have tried a tutorial that is linked below to tr to resolve this:
Click Start, Run, type services.msc, and click OK. To enable a service, find it in the right pane and double-click its entry. Be sure its Startup Type is set to Automatic and click OK. All the following services must be thus configured in order to use ICS:
Application Layer Gateway Service
Network Connections
Network Location Awareness (NLA)
Plug And Play
Remote Access Auto Connection Manager
Remote Access Connection Manager
Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
Telephony
After verifying and/or configuring Automatic startup for each of these services, close the Services window and restart the computer before attempting again to enable ICS.
However, it has not resolved this problem. I have checked and double checked it to no avail. I was wondering/hoping somebody might have some knowledge in this area. I am more of a hardware guy then a software guy myself. =P
If nothing is impossible, then would that not mean that it would be impossible to find something that is impossible?

My xbox keeps failing the "IP Address" test part of testing the connection to XboxLive. It reads that it is using a wired connection and the LAN and my wireless were successfully bridge, and the laptop has no problems connecting to the wireless network. I tried restarting the system and trying it again, but to no avail.
The reason I am trying to do this is simply because I have the Xbox360 (brand new) and my laptop, so I figured why not use one to help the other. Also, because the router I am using is directly on the other side of the house, about 50 feet in a straight line, a good bit more if following a path.
Any help/advice regarding this issue? If so, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you ahead of time.
