I'm trying to simultaneously connect to two networks and am having problems. I have my computer wireless network card connected to a router for internet: IP: 192.168.0.3, Subnet: 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1, Preferred DNS: 192.168.0.1 I have a wired network card connected to my XBOX: IP: 10.0.0.1, Subnet: 255.0.0.0, Default Gateway: 10.0.0.1, Preferred DNS: unset. When I have both networks connected, I can access my XBOX and my router by entering in internet explorer: 192.168.0.1, but I can't get onto the internet. Does anyone know what the problem is? Thanks

your xbox can't get on the internet since its ip is not in the 192.168.0.x subnet. Solution is change the ip settings of the xbox. Give a person a fish, they eat for a day. Suggest they internet search and they learn a skill for a lifetime.

Hi, I'm not looking to try to get the XBOX on the internet. My laptop has a wired and wireless network card. There is a wireless connection to the router (with internet) and a wired connection to the XBOX. The laptop needs to run two networks simultaneously and be able to connect to both the XBOX and the router without using a network bridge. This is why I have my IP addresses and subnet masks different for both the wired and wireless network cards. Is there any way to do this. Thanks

Any reason you don't want to put your xbox on the 192.168.x.x network? That would be the simplist thing to do. This way its in the same subnet and you can get to it no problem Otherwise you can try the Alternate config tab in your tcp/ip properties and put the 10x.x.x. range there. Give a person a fish, they eat for a day. Suggest they internet search and they learn a skill for a lifetime.

Tried that but as there are 2 network cards running on the same machine I think it is causing problems. I tried bridging the connections with the XP software but then lost connectivity with the XBOX. Any ideas?

You have to edit your routing tables. It means that you define wich interface to use for specific IP. In order to do that, you have to use the "route" command in a command-line prompt. For more details, look after the syntax and parameters of the route command on the web.
