ok...the whole matt lauer/oprah filter comments made me laugh outloud. Of course it wasn't as funny when I tried to explain it to hubby who is looking at me like I am hearing strange voices!!

We did get an xbox 360 pro with two games today. At HEB, $229. Bundle with wireless headset and one wireless controller. For the Pro that was the best deal I have seen from all the adds this coming weekend. There was one left after we bought his at the one on Potranco.

Now to hunt for my own deal ....comforter set for the bedroom.

YAY Camper!! I bet it was YUMMY!! My turkey came out pretty darn good too! ( I live with a bunch of critics and I received rave reviews )

We already have an XBOX (one of many perks from my old job) but my son has been bugging me for a Wii. He doesn't know he's getting one for Christmas so SSSHhhhhhhhhhh

Have you tried turning on your internet connection sharing under network settings?

Confirm that you did set up the internet connection sharing. What kind of modem are you using? How are you connecting to the internet, wireless or ethernet?

ok, I have a netgear wireless router. when twc guy was here hooking it up he put a little usb device in saying I had to use it in order to use the laptop whereever.

I found this online but need the modified version of it as I say in my job. cause it's confusing the heck out of me:



[SIZE=2]Windows ICS Connection: Internal Modem[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Microsoft Windows Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) uses your PC to share one Internet connection with multiple devices, including your Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]You need to use a Windows ICS connection to access Xbox LIVE if you're using either a USB or an internal (PCI) connection for high-speed Internet access rather than a traditional Ethernet connection through a stand-alone router, gateway, or modem.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]To set up a Windows ICS connection through an internal modem, see Windows ICS Connection [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Required Hardware for a Windows ICS Connection Through an Internal (PCI) Modem[/SIZE]
·[SIZE=2]One Ethernet cable (supplied with the standard Xbox 360 console; not included with Xbox 360 Arcade). Unlike the original Xbox system, Xbox 360 does not require a crossover Ethernetcable. [/SIZE]
·[SIZE=2]One (1) standard RJ-11 analog phone cable or one (1) F-type coaxial cable, depending on your PC's modem (each sold separately). [/SIZE]
·[SIZE=2]A PC with an NIC (network interface card). If your PC has an Ethernet port (also referred to as Cat5 or RJ-45), it has an NIC. An Ethernet port looks like a standard telephone jack, only bigger. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]To connect to Xbox LIVE using Windows ICS through your computer's internal (PCI) modem: [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]1.Before connecting any cables, turn off your PC and your Xbox 360 console. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]2.Connect one end of your RJ-11 phone cable or F-type coaxial cable (depending on your modem) to your PC's modem and the other end to the wall jack. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]3.Connect one end of your Ethernet cable to your PC's Ethernet port. Connect the other end to the Ethernet port on the back of your Xbox 360 console. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]4.Turn on your PC. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]5.From your PC, configure Windows ICS to share your Internet connection. To enable Windows ICS on your PC, follow the instructions for your operating system: [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]1.Windows Vista [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]2.Windows XP Professional [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]3.Windows 2000 Professional [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]4.Windows Me [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]5.Windows 98SE[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]6.Once you've configured ICS, make sure your PC can access the Internet. (If it can't connect to the Internet, refer to the help documentation for your operating system or visit Microsoft Help and Support.) [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]7.Turn on your Xbox 360 console with no disc in the disc tray. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]8.If you've already used your Xbox 360 system for offline play, the Xbox Dashboard will open to the Xbox LIVE area. Select the Xbox LIVE banner. When you see the Xbox LIVE Marketplace you'll know you're connected to Xbox LIVE. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]If this is the first time you've turned on your Xbox 360 console, see Create Your Gamer Profile to get started with both the Xbox 360 system and Xbox LIVE play.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]If you're unable to connect to Xbox LIVE, the Xbox Dashboard provides an automaticnetwork troubleshooter in the System area (under Network Settings) to help you connect. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Note[/SIZE]

Is the XBOX connected wireless or do you have an adaptar for the XBOX?
