Question

I have a modem that has a USB and an ethernet connection.
Is there anyway I can internet share using the usb connection to the pc and ethernet to the xbox, or do I have to plug the xbox to the pc, pc to the modem via usb, and use enable internet connection sharing?

I know the last method works. One of the lads in here has a PC with two NIC's and a USB 'frog' ADSL modem.

He has another PC connected to the first NIC using a cross-over cable and the XBox connected to the other NIC using another cross-over cable.

He's got ICS enabled for web-browsing, but the XBox works fine.

Yeah, my mate has the same configuration, I was just wondering if there was an eay way of using the modem by both without ICS or a router.
I know I can the PC plugged into the Modem via USB and Xbox into via Ethernet and it works fine as long as I don't have both trying to access the internet at the same time (so xbox or PC, but not both)

If you plan on using ICS, you need to go into the registry and up the MTU value to 1650+ (I Think) if not Xbox will not get past the set up stage
