Ok I now have this card: [URL]http://www.secure-warehouse.co.uk/dsl-warehouse/product.asp?pr=NGFA311&pm=864[/URL]

Before I break the seal on it can someone confirm that I've got the correct thing (99% sure I have).

Any tips for setting up ICS through my PC would be appreciated. :)

Yeh, you need crossover cable. If you have the right equipment you could fix one up yourself. Just google it.

It's recognised the card and set it up.

Having trouble with the ethernet cable.

I think I was using a straight through cable for when I had a router but now I think I need to get a crossover cable (system link one?).

Does that make sense?

Edit: Just checked the cable and the colours are in order on both ends so it's a straight through cable and I now need the other one.

So *touch wood* (ooer) I should be back on live tomorrow after I grab this wire. :)

Did it work?

Ok.

If you hear an explosion in the distance - that's me.

Correct.

Ok and I do that after I'e stuck the card in and hooked up the xbox?

I actually think it is default on both so you don't really have to do much. Just right click on your broadband connection in the 'Network Connection' file/folder and select share this connection.

Should work.

Ok.

On the xbox or on the PC?

Thankyou.

*Goes to break pc with wrench*

It might be worth setting the IP's to automatic rather than setting them yourself.

Saves alot of time.
