Problems connecting Xbox 360 to computer vista laptop via ethernet connection to the network local (the laptop is connected via wifi)
I spent a few hours trying to solve this problem, and I've been to countless forums. They all told me to go into "Manage network connections" and right-click-properties on my connection Wi - fi. Then they speak by clicking on the tab sharing... which I did not. I don't know how to share my connection to the WiFi with my xbox 360. It is supposed to be easy, but I can't realize what is designed as "highly probable." I have a laptop Sony Vaio VGN-FW390 and Vista Home Premium. Maybe I have to set up a connection to an access point, or do a sort of thing ICS... I do not know. I am incredibly annoyed by this, and I'd appreciate any help. Thank you.
Messier,
Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers community forum.
Try this and see if it works for you, it has worked for some users.
With no cable connected between the computer and the xbox, go to control panel, network and sharing Center. You should see a "Local Area Connection", which will show disabled at this stage, and your "wireless network connection", which should show connected. Connect the ethernet cable to your laptop and the back of the xbox. Select the 'connection to the Local network. After that it is well connected, disable your 'Wireless Network Connection'. Once disabled, right click and click Properties. Go to the Advanced tab and check "allow other users of the network to connect through this computer's internet connection". Once this is done, your wireless internet connection should say shared next to the State of the connection.
Turn on your wireless connection. Then, right click to 'connect to the Local network' and click on repair. Allow the end. test the connection on your xbox.
Let us know how that works for you.
Thank you

Sorry about the long title, but it pretty much says my problem. I am trying to connect my Xbox 360 to my Windows7 laptop with the ethernet cable. I have a home network that the wireless laptop works out of. When I go into the control panel network connections section, I can't find the 'Sharing' tab that says that every tutorial I can find there should be. Tutorials can say to go to the screen that shows your wireless connections, highlight your home network and the network to your Xbox and then right click and press "bridge connections". I do not have the option for bridge connections. Can anyone help?
After having connected the laptop and Xbox with an Ethernet cable, you should be able to enable sharing of Internet connection on the wireless network connection:
- Make sure that the two network connections are enabled.
- Right click on the wireless network connection.
- Click on Properties .
- Click sharing .
- Put a check mark in the check box under Internet connection sharing .
- Click OK .
After you enable ICS, not bridging the connections. Boulder computer Maven

Install the same.
Once installed, double-click the icon Adobe application manager Desktop.
It will launch Adobe application manager, and then connect you.
Then search for Photoshop CS 6 and install the same: (if it is not listed? then your system is not compatible with Photoshop CS 6)

Compaq Presario - problem connecting to Wifi
I have a compaq presario, the name of the product "Presario C700" and the p/n' FE934UA #ABA. "The operating system is Windows Vista. I have Comcast internet and the router I am using is Netgear. Recently, I moved into a new place and will have problems connecting to Wifi at home. I've had this laptop for several years and have been able to connect to some wifis in the past, but there were moments where I was not able to connect to the wifi in some public places. I am able to connect to the wifi on my phone and another laptop, but not this one. I tried to reset the router and many other measures, but nothing seems to solve the problem. Whenever I try to connect, it says that the signal is excellent, but it fails to identify the network and said that "the router is unavailable. I already called my router company, but they were not able to solve the problem. The only way I can connect to the internet using an ethernet cable.
I would really appreciate help on how to connect to wifi. Thanks in advance!

My laptop runs Vista and I've not had problems connecting to my home network wireless until a week ago or not. Then, trying to connect, I see other available networks, but not my own. When I try to connect manually, it says that the network already exists. Other computers, macbooks, are able to connect to my home network without problem. I am able to connect to a network on my laptop fine unsecured wireless.
I could 'solve' the problem or get reconnected with a restoration of the system to an earlier date, but it only lasts a day or two. I searched for another fix and tried many things, including to reset the router, remove my network, and then reinstall, etc, but can't seem to get this to work as if it were - automatic connection as the first network.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
You have rebooted the router and the pc at the same time?
You run the IPCONFIG / all from a cmd prompt can and download a preview of the output to a file share services like rapidshare and put a link to it in your next post?

Problem pairing Jabra halo with my computer vista laptop
I have a windows vista 64 bit HP computer. I have the bluetooth 2.0 on my computer. I recently bought a Halo of Jabra headset bluetooth (650s) and I want to pair it with my computer to use as wireless headphones. My computer has detected the headset very well and it connected with drivers installed successfully (supposedly) but I still can't so he can be recognized on all programs. I ran the Microsoft Fixez_ the peripheral and returned these recent hardware changes may not have been detected. I tried the steps it gives me and still no luck. Anyone know what I can do about it (or even at all)? Thank you
Thanks for your help. I tried Microsoft fix and it detects the problem, but the program is not actually fix anything. I tried to remove and reinstall with no luck to solve my problem. My bluetooth device is the active however password windows never prompted me to put one in, could it be the source of my problem? I also made sure my firewall was not blocking anything. I do not see how my computer installs the drivers and the connection is good but unit does not always show up as a viable option for audio.
Thanks for any help
Edit:
I found the solution to my problem. The drivers on the computer itself have been exceeded (the bluetooth ones). I just had to use the HP Web site. In case anyone needs help I went to support. After that they asked me to enter my computer model. I used the software that would automatically detect my computer instead (that way I can get the exact model). After that, I put in what version of windows vista, I had. I then downloaded and reinstalled my bluetooth software. Problem fixed.
Thanks for your help.
