the alternative is to buy the wifi adapter, but I want to make sure that im not paying $80 for something that I didn't even
Hi GreekGuitarGuy,
The best way to use your laptop WiFi to connect your Xbox to the internet is using connection sharing Internet (ICS). The following link gives step by step instructions how to set up your laptop and Xbox 360 with ICS:

Since it is a forum of Windows, I would recommend trying to rely more on the forums found here Xbox: http://forums.xbox.com/.
Hope this helps to answer your question!

I try to get in touch with a representative of the Xbox, but have not been able to find someone who can tell what to do about this.
I would like a refund for a year of subscription Xbox Live that I never asked (they have my movies and Music Apps account details). I got a free month of Xbox Live that I tried and then disconnected my Xbox on the internet.
But they kept charging me, which I've learned only recently because I had debit cards and they overloaded my account!
How can I get in touch with Xbox billing people?
What can I do to try to get this cleared up?Hello

I recently bought my xbox 360 and when I've been setting up I chose the option to wait to use the offer for free gold membership. Now, I found where I can access it again, but when I confirm the purchase, he said: "unable to retrieve data from xbox live. Please try again later. error code 80070057. I tried frequently for about 2-3 days and it is always popping up. Please give me this info, if any help is available. Thank you

Secondary DNS number for Xbox Live connection
I'm trying to connect my sons Xbox 360 to Xbox Live. We bought a wireless network adapter that connects to the router wireless without any problem. We cannot get a good internet connection.
We tried to follow the directions using the manual DNS settings which seems straight forward. That is to say. Click Start, type cmd, press ENTER. Then at the prompt, type "iconfig/all '."
There is only a single DNS server number listed, but we need someone else to get a connection. Can do us on the PC?

Prioritization of bandwidth for Xbox Live
Is there a way to put xbox live traffic priority bandwidth on streaming of web services such as youtube and spotify?
When these services are used xbox live games on the internet become unbearable to play as you would expect... (The ping goes through the roof).
Now another to be a general problem with bandwidth available to the general public, I was hoping that there may be another solution on the router that could help?
Details:
Connection speed: 6.5Mbs (higher downstream) 448 Kbs (highest upstream)
Router: Lynksys WAG200G
Firmware: 1.01.06
Connect the Xbox to the router: Wired
PC: XP SP3
Your advice would be appreciated.
WAG has some limitations. I think you have to go by Port number, instead using MAC address that you don't have the option of using the MAC address.

How to use my cell phone as an internet connection for XBOX live?
Well my friend told me that, instead of buying the wireless Gizmo, I could use my laptop (ASUS m51v) to connect to the net for a living.
I do the normal stages and plug the ethernet cable into my laptop and 360 but when I try to connect my pc says I'm connected but the 360 says that it cannot find the computer. IM confused even my friend (who is a xbox Gardiner) can't stop
Oh and I am running vista, he said something to change, cause hes on xp its different
Thank youLYou must enable ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) for it to work. You should be able to make this purchase goes to the network and sharing Center. You can also just type ICS or internet connection sharing in aid and it will give you complete guidance. I have a simple philosophy: just assume everyone is a piece of c.r.a.p. and then be pleasantly surprised if you find someone who is not.

Xbox Live for free (read before removal, please)
I'm posting here in the hope of getting some tips (also it came not under any topic because apparently no one needs to ask a question on the Xbox). I cancelled Xbox Live auto renew on 04/07/2016 (date format UK) and my subscription ends 14/04/2016.
I was stimulated in cancel my subscription when I noticed a transaction pending on my Bank for Xbox Live 7/4 /.
so I called the Bank and told them to stop any future Xbox live payments and cancelled through the Microsoft Web site.
My problem is that I have now paid for a month subscription however my access is stopped in 7 days. This means that I paid £5.99 7 days of access. I wish a refund or my access extending to the 7/5.
I tried to contact Microsoft, but the prosecution has not appeared on my section of my account billing
but it is visible on the page Subscriptions & Services.
Because it is not not visible on my billing history I was talking to the person couldn't do much. I was going to provide pictures for the support worker, but they said they said they cannot open external links for safety. I want to email Microsoft support, but their site does a very good job of not providing one or making it very difficult to put the hand off.
Yet once again, I came here hoping to get a form of guidance on who I should talk to about it (I tried the live chat, but still they cannot open links) or maybe get an email to send to
Thank you

I have a UTM9S Prosecure home and it does not block the Xbox 360 online.
Xbox is recommended to open the following ports:
Port 88 (UDP)
Port 3074 (UDP and TCP)
Port 53 (UDP and TCP)
Port 80 (TCP)So I went to the network security-> Services and also Services network-> release of Port Security and added above (TCP and UDP) ports.
I also enabled UPnP they recommend.
No luck.
It was before working with a small router Linksys, so I know it can work if I have the right config, but do not know what I am doing wrong.
Any suggestions?
I use a UTM25S on firmware version 3.6.0-32. uPnP does not seem to work for XBox Live. I used the installation trigger port in the post of Shanlord and now it works fine.
