+rep Xbox Live Connection Help

[Sunny.]

Okay so i moved the PC upstairs to my bedroom and its connected to the internet Wirelessly with a Belkin Wireless USB adapter. Ive now also moved my xbox upstairs to my room and want to get the xbox Live working on it.
Ive tried connecting it via ethernet cable so 1 end in PC the other end in Console but it comes up as

Network Adapter: Wired
IP Address: Failed

Is there any way i can get it to work?

+rep to all suggestions

The Wireless Network Adaptor should work you can get them at GAME for £55, because obviously you have a wireless router

[Sunny.]

Yes but isnt there a way to connect with a wire? as i dont want to really spend 55 pound on a adapter.

[Fez]

There is a way, but that means getting a 40m Ethernet cable and drilling holes everywere.

Trust me, the Network Adapter is the best option

Basically connect the modem to the xbox?

Cant i connect pc n xbox together?

[Fez]

It's possible but you need to set up a Windows Internet Sharing Passport thing.

More info on the Xbox.com site me thinks

[Sunny.]

Thanks il check it out

[reindeer.]

plug the ethernet cable into the router and into the xbox - it's too complicated if you plug it in the pc.

[Sunny.]

you see the routers downstairs, thts why im connected wirelessly to my pc

[ltwistedburn]

move the router upstairs?

[Sunny.]

cant because the router is connected to the Modem and the modem has to stay downstairs due to the Virgin media box wire is down there.

Kik ur parents out have the whole house to your self then bring the xbox down so u can easily plug ur ethnal cable in to the xbox and the router and then you get a bigger tv aswel

[Sunny.]

Virgin Media, but i dnt wnna go through all the trouble of making them move it upstairs.

Thats how my xbox is on live. I plug my xbox into my laptop through the ethernet cable. But i had to manually connect the xbox to the comp and to the internet.
