ok, well set an IP for that, for example, 192.168.100.1, then set the IP address on the xbox to 192.168.100.2 before that though, is your modem always on? or do you have to create the connection when you log on to windows? My modem is always on. Your talking to a complete idiot though, so you have to explain what you mean... I've no got a clue! haha, well, when you log on to windows, before you go on the internet, do you need to dial anything? or are you automatically connected? sounds like the latter.
