Applications :: Share Movies Through XBOX360 Via Rivet - Can't Use Internet
Sep 20, 2009
So here's what I'm attempting to do: I want to share movies through my XBOX360 via Rivet. I don't want to buy the XBOX wifi adapter.
My supplies:
Spare wired router
50' Cat5e
6' Cat5e
XBOX is 40' (once cord is draped around couch along the floorboard) away from computer. Wireless router for normal network is way too far away around corners to reach. So I have my secondary router hooked up next to my computer, wired to the Xbox and the computer. I want to share videos through the ethernet cable and wired router while accessing the internet through the wifi on my computer. However, it seems to me that I can't have my cake and eat it too. I re-ordered the services through the control panel so that my Airport connection is my primary connection and the ethernet is the secondary connection. However, upon doing this the Xbox will not see Rivet any longer as I'm assuming OSX just ignores the wired connection since it is set as second fiddle. I understand the easy fix to this whole situation is to just suck it up and accept that I can't use the internet while I stream a movie and just unhook/rehook the ethernet cable each time I wish to watch something. However, as stubborn as I am I refuse to accept this until I have kicked and screamed. Any ideas on a method by which I can have my cake and eat it too?

I seriously need your help with an ongoing issue that's been affecting my time capsule for a few weeks now. First of all, my Xbox360 is connected with a wire to my time capsule and now, it's pretty much impossible to play any games online. In Modern Warfare 2, I get horrible lag and after a game or two, the disconnected from xbox live appears and the only way for me to get back the connection is by unpluging the Time Capsule and restarting the Xbox. This gets me a good connection for 30-45 min and after that, same problem. I don't really know what could be causing this since I also lose connection while playing a single player game that doesn't require any incoming data. Sometimes, I just turn on the console, I see the xbox icon searching for an internet connection and then nothing.
I really need your input on this because everything else connected to my Time Capsule works perfectly (PS3 and Wii wireless and a Powerbook wired). The Powerbook never loses the connection.

I am wanting to sync my 360 with my macbook pro wirelessly. I still haven't decided which program yet, but am leaning towards Rivet for the file structure, but I think Connect360 has more file support.
Anyway, I was wondering if I will have to keep my macbook open for these programs to work. Or if I will be able to access them if my macbook is put away but still on. Or if I can make it so that it doesn't go into sleep mode when I close it so its still running just the screen is closed.

I love AirPlay. I use it on my iPod Touch the moment I get home to play music to my speakers connected via AirPort Express. I use it on my iPad too when i'm watching a movie..
Even on my MBP when listening to music from iTunes. But Movies in iTunes don't work. The AirPlay icon in a movie playing in iTunes only shows "computer" and doesn't show any other options.

Mac Pro with most recent 10.5 updates connected to net via wifi. I have a dell next to it with only a NIC card and no wifi. Is it possible to share my net connection from the mac to the pc, and would a crossover cable be required for this?

I had a bunch of movies that took with my digital camera that were always imported into iPhoto when I transferred my pictures into it. I used to just be able to click on them in iPhoto and the movie would open up and play. Now it seems that my movies are gone and all that I have of my movies is the first frame as a picture and nothing else. Their file extensions used to say .mov but now are .jpg. I've tried changing the extension back to .mov but no movie is there and the file sizes are not what a movie should be.
I'm running Snow Leopard on a 13" Macbook Pro with newest version of iPhoto. I have quicktime X and Quicktime 7 installed.

My friend wants to send me a very large zip file. 447k mb large. The thing is we are both on the other side of the country (US). What would be the best way to do it? We tried rapidshare but things didn't work out (maybe because it was too big? idk

I've just got a Samsung BD-P1500, which is enabled for "BD Live" Discs.
It has an ethernet port on the back which I would like to use to get online. Why not :-)
The router I have is too far away to have a direct ethernet connection, so I was wondering if I could use the ICS feature in OSX.
I've had it working for my Xbox previously and it worked fine. Only lag experienced was when I was surfing on the MacBook at the same time.

hows it going. Im new here but ive been a Mac Geek for 12 yrs. Anyways ive got a question that started out as a curiosity but now i "need' to know...lol!
Basically ive been using Connect360 to stream music to my XBOX and the occasional movie. I will soon be swapping out my iMac G5's HDD (250GB) for a WD (750GB.) Ive decided to buy an enclosure for the "old" HDD and connect it to an ABEX as an Airdisk. Connect360 is great but having my iMacs fans going and the "jet engines" they call fans on the xbox, can get pretty annoying after a while.
So essentially what i want to do is stream off the Airdisk but have the iMac off. Is there anyway i can make this happen?

Basically I have a g4 mac mini running 10.5 and I am trying to share from wireless to ethernet. I have that all set up in the internet sharing setup. I've tried many different tutorials online and I just keep running into an error saying it cant resolve the dns servers or whatever.
My router IP is 192.168.2.1
My macs IP is 192.168.2.10
I have the DNS numbers from my ISP
On the xbox I enter the ip of the xbox as 192.168.2.22
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.2.1 (router)
Then my DNS numbers manually set, I've also tried using my macs and routers IP's as DNS and no dice. I just keep getting the same DNS error. i have a bunch of ports for xbox live opened to my xbox IP. It worked for me at one point when i was using tiger but now it wont on leopard.

I want to share my internet connection from Airport to computers connected to another network created by a USB wireless device attached to my system.
The network created by the USB wireless is working fine, and computers can connect to it, but they can't access the internet.

I have a first gene iMac g5 at work that does not have wifi. I found a USB wifi adapter on amazon for $15. If I use that, can i share my Internet connection over wifi just like i can with a built in airport card in my macbook pro?

My MacBook (10.5.4) picks up Internet through a Linksys wireless router in my office building via Airport. I want to share that internet connection through Ethernet to my MacPro tower (10.4.11). I have set Internet sharing on the MB (from Airport to Ethernet), no Firewalls; I have set the MacPro to Ethernet as its network source. The machines see each other, exchange files, share the printer, etc., but I cannot get the internet connection to pass to the MacPro.

I am using the macbook air and would like to share the internet connection to another apple devices via bluetooth.
Understand share Wi-Fi works, however I like to share the internet to only 1 devices and bluetooth seems to be the logical choice.

I've got a Mac Pro and a Linksys Wireless N Router. I've got my cable modem hooked up at the moment directly to my Mac Pro. I was wondering if there was a way to share my internet connection on my other connection to the router? In other words, internet comes into the Mac Pro, shares with the wireless router, which broadcasts it to a third computer.

After stumbling across a few threads talking about not being able to share an ethernet connection over wifi in Snow Leopard and I'm trying to figure out if this is isolated or just a glitch in Snow Leopard. Does anyone have this working?
For example my laptop hooks to ethernet, and I usually share my internet connection from my laptop to my iPhone via wifi (long story but its the only solution I have since iPhone has no ethernet port).
I need to make sure this is possible in snow leopard before my snow leopard equipped laptop comes.

Ok so within the last day my internet sharing has been working fine, it just won't let incoming devices connect to it. I.E. my Ipod Touch sees my MacBook Pro, but doesn't get an IP I believe, same case with my iPhone because it tries to use the Wifi, but since it can't properly connect either, it switches to 3G. If I disable the Firewall, everything works as it should, so the Firewall is definitely the problem. What I am stuck on is how to configure it properly so that I can use internet sharing, while having the firewall enabled. I haven't even touched anything related to the Firewall in months, so the fact that this just randomly happened is beyond me. I have even made sure that the internet sharing program in the firewall list has the "Allow incoming connections" toggle selected. I haven't touched the box that says "Allow signed software to receive incoming connections," but that box has always been enabled for months. I can't remember now, but I think initially when I came up with the idea that Firewall was causing problems, I noticed that the internet sharing program in the firewall config list actually had the "Block incoming connections" toggle selected. I thought allowing incoming connections would surely fix this, but I guess not.

I'm sure this has been posted, but my search pulled up hundreds of threads. After I scanned the first 50, I decided to just post my question.
I have to wait a few days (at most) for my job to register my MAC address so that the new Mac Pro has access to the network/internet via ethernet. It does not have an Airport card or Bluetooth. While I am waiting, is there a way to connect the Mac Pro to my Powerbook (which has Wifi internet access) such that it can piggyback on the internet connection as a temporary solution?

I know that it's possible to share a wired internet connection from one mac to another computer through wireless, but I was was wondering if it's possible to do the reverse: share a mac's wireless internet connection through the ethernet port.Ideally, the setup I want is to have my iMac connected to wifi and have my xbox 360 connected to the iMac with an ethernet cable.
