On my Windows VISTA I set up a bridge connection for my Xbox LIVE and it worked. However, when I connected it said my NAT configuration type was MODERATE. How do I access, from Windows VISTA, the NAT type and how do I change it to OPEN?

Here is how to fix the problem

1) open command prompt

2) type netsh
3) type bridge show adapter
4) type bridge set adapter 1 forcecompatmode=enable
5) type bridge show adapter command again to verify that the ForceCompatabilityMode field for the NIC is displayed as Enabled.

You should be good now.

I have windows 7 and it didn’t work. I entered the network stuff manually and it didn’t work. Even when it was on automatic it didn’t work. If there is anything else that is needed please tell me. My msn is surajgood@hotmail.com. My email is magicspell1234@gmail.com

You don’t need to do this, just select ur wireless connection, go to properties, advanced and check the 1st box.
Then reapir ur connection and connect. ;)

I got the bridge connected and XB Live is working, but not very well. After about 5 minutes, it will say “Connection to server reset.” “Game Lobby Closed” Why would it work and then reset itself? I turned Windows Firewall. In the Network Connections folder, it says “A network cable is unplugged.” with a Red X, although it’s obviously not. It works but then resets itself. How can I get continuous play going with getting continuously disconnected?

Alright, I had similar problems to everyone on here. I got it to work, more or less, I still have problems occasionally, as in it sometimes has trouble connecting, but I can get online. Because it was telling me I had an IP address conflict on the network whenever I tried to let the XBox get its IP address manually, I figured I would just assign one myself.

Step 1:
Open a command prompt on the computer you are using to bridge the connection. (Start -> run ->type cmd, then hit enter)

Step 2:
type in: ipconfig -all
this will display the computers IP info as assigned by the network.

step 3.
look at the IP address it will be xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
for the first set of numbers (there can be less than 3 digits in each set, perhaps along the lines of 192.168.1.152) use the same thing, for this example I would use 192.168.1.xxx for the xxx simply replace it with a different number (make it close to that one)

step 4
it is also going to ask for your gateway and your subnet mask, make them the same as what it displays for your computer.

That worked for me (again, kind of, sometimes I can’t sign in, but then when I go to check internet connection, it is able to reconnect for some reason)

Hi, it does not work for me. But, I found the solution, conect xbox 360 with a crossover wire to my laptop vista 64 bits, my laptop wireless with a 2wire modem/router. Then, in my network, I can see both network adapters, right click to wireless conection, properties, and share, click on share conection, I do not need a bridge, thats works for me.

Lol, guys turn off your firewall.

That’s the MAJOR PROBLEM.
Then connect the xbox to laptop with the bridge :)

Once again we have a Windows/Mac competition. I am running both Windows XP and OSX Leopard on my Mac (it was given to me by my college, dont hurt me) I found ways that this should work for both, so I will see which works better, if either of them work at all…
