Axwell

On your 360, go to system, then, network settings, then edit settings, then additional settings, then "PPPoE Settings"

Put in "eircom1" for the username and "broadband" for the password then select done. Then run a connection test to make sure it goes through.

I presume you have read through this..especially the last bit and checked that you have done that correctly.

I've tried that but when I bridge the connections I can't connect to the internet.

Axwell

You cant connect to the internet at all ..ie you cant get on to live...or you cant get on to the internet on the laptop but you can get on to live on the xbox?

I dont use internet sharing myself so dont know much about the setup of it to be honest. As regards the eircom stuff if you follow the guides and tutorials its easy enough to get sorted so theres something not right somewhere in what you have done or its down to the fact you are sharing the connection with the laptop. I notice in one of your other posts you said you got as far as a certain point and then couldnt get that bit working, what was it stopping at exactly because im sure if you go through it from start to finish you will get it working.

Why do you use internet sharing as a matter of interest? I presume its because your xbox is too far from the modem/router but have you looked at getting a wireless dongle for the xbox or using power plugs??

It was stopping when I tried to enable xbox live 360 and I go to select the host device the IP address of the Xbox, which I had already set, does not appear. Afaik that method would not work for me anyway because I'm sharing the connection. I've gone through each method you posted up step by step but it just won't work so I really don't know what to do.

Yeah my Xbox is too far away from the router. I really don't want to have to pay for the wireless adapter tbh.

Axwell

Yeah I havent used Internet sharing so not well enough up on it but I would think it should cause a problem, your xbox would still have an ip etc so everything in the guides should still work for it.
Power plugs are another alternative to the wireless adapter either but either way I guess you would be paying out money.
Sorry cant offer any more advice apart from whats in the guides i linked to and anything else ive suggested.

Good player mate, unfortunately serious lag. Played this game twice to see if it was my connection, 2 - 1 was the result of the first match.

and wouldn't you know it I won the second match 3-0. But the lag was just as bad in the second game so first result stands.
Good games mate. Pity about the connection

Mister Robinson

My modem decided to play some games with me and went from open to strict over the last few days.

Im going to buy a replacement one and see if I can get one with open ports to work.

I wont be able to play Axwell and anyone else on this strict settings but I'll post up when I find a suitable modem to work.

Clanket

What's the story with games that cannot be played for whatever reason.

I've been trying to contact one of my games this week but he's not answering. And my other game is against someone who is having modem problems

Sharing from a pc or mac? I've shared from both to the xbox, before. Its a bit trickier on the mac, I've tried turning off nearly all security features of OS X, just to see what was causing my "moderate" nat settings, I still have no idea. With XP it was handy.

Parawind

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

ok i vented my anger, just lost 5-1. I have never played so bad before, i completely self distructed. At least i learned a few things about my team.

So thats 2 games with bad weather so far, first rain and now snow, i want a dry game, can't get short passing going with the snow at all. Couldn't pick out any long passes either since our teams were the same bloody colour on the radar grrrr!

I went 2 goals down cause i tackled his player and the ball rolled straight back to his other player, then i gifted a third cause i was rushing things and the last goal omfg my keeper fists into the net from such a tight angle made me sick.

DeleMu fully deserved the win but christ i made it far too easy for you.

Man City, Man Utd, Real Madrid to play!

Anyone wanna post here when we can play!? I'll be on most of 2mo, most of the day on Thurs and late Friday afternoon!

Lads dont be taking it upon yourselves to have replays because of lag. Lag has always been part of the league and games were never replayed because of it so the first result would have stood either way.

Axwell

Lads just an issue that I have come across in the fixtures thread. Dont take it upon yourselves to have replays because of lag. Lag has always been part of the league and games were never replayed because of it. If you are playing someone and they have lag unfortunately the game still counts and has to be finished. At this stage a few people have said some people have lag so possibly those people can look into why they have lag, someone else using their connection or having a pc running at the same time or whatever but if you play a game and its laggy the result of it will still stand.

Y2J_MUFC

Alright lads, I'm moving very soon (again) so I won't be able to play much while I'm getting my new broadband sorted out. Its a bit of a pain in the arse, but sure. I told Axwell about it before the team picks took place, so whoever is down to play me (Ronaldo FC, excuse me, Real Madrid in the Premiership. ) for the first few weeks, I'll catch up with you when my broadband arrives...

Edit: I'm sure Sherlock Holmes (2 posts down), will use his detective skills to track down this message eventually. I believe in you Sherlock

Feel robbed here. First goal against me was a chipped shot that hits the keeper and trickles in, second goal conceded was the inevitable fifa rebound goal.....bloody magnets itself to the nearest opposition player.

I had a good chance with a few minutes to go where I should have just slid in the free man for an open goal, and didn't. Was stupid and paid for that mistake. GG anyway.

i feel thats a tad unfair, your goals werent exactly classic either. your free kick was just shot through the middle as hard as possible at cech which was rubbish and your other goal was a lucky break of the ball and toe poke in the box. i had a chance too at the end too that i should have put away. i had more chances overall and broke even in possession so at least i deserved a draw.

good game though, a good league match gets the blood pumping!

Championship
Gameweek 1
FutureGuy (BAYERN MUNICH) 0-7 (MANCHESTER CITY) Yapa

Hit the post and came close with another shot in the opening 5 minutes and was doing quite well but Yapa scored on his first attack. Fell 2-0 behind after a great Tevez goal. Yapa showed incredible passing and finishing, to which I had no answer. After 3-0, I went ultra-offensive but to no effect (apart from conceding another 4).

I had won 7 out of my 9 games against Barca/Inter/Chelsea with Bayern but it shows the quality of the players in this league.

GG mate, great player.

Even though the score didnt show it, i thought you defended very well...bit of a gap between midfielders and fowards...(ribery would fit nicely as a CAM )

Cheers for the game

Town Man

Hi guys,

Just to let those in the Championship know that I am gone away with work this weekend and will be unable to play my games.

Just out of interest, what happens if a game doesn't get played? Can it be deferred until the follwing week if necessary?

I ask becasue I'm going to the Ireland match next week so wont be able to play from Tuesday to Thursday. Hoping to get the games in before that but if people aren't around, what can be done.

went 2-0 down but came back to 2-2 early in 2nd half. felt i deserved a draw as hit the post twice in 2nd half and an effort cleared off the line. he nicked it with a minute to go. great game, enjoyed playing it

was cruising at 2-0 but the super powered inter were a little too quick for man citys lescott lol, ball cleared off the line was close enough for me...i hit the post twice as well but was kinda thinking it would be a draw...v.good game, your defo top two by the end of the season dude!!

Sorry lads, Got my nat fixed there. Couldn't find the decive my xbox was under. had to run it to the static i.p

Still not at open but at moderate so here's hoping thats enough for me to play. Failing that the old router will be set back up.

First game was 2-1 to me just after half time, then we both lost connection with ea servers...game was pretty close, was 2-0 up and then he got a decent goal...

So we had to play a rematch and it wasnt as close in the second game. I was playing well and did well to crack the Chelsea defense...I came to terms with Drogba in the second game...cheers for the game dude.

Indeed. GG. Defending by the pair of us was shocking. Every attack seemed to turn into a goal

Doing the robot on three of your goals was bad form though. You a closet peter crouch fan or something?

Yeah must say the defending was pretty poor alight!

As regards the robot, the first one was meant, the other 2 weren't, just me mashing buttons after scoring!

First time I've played so well in Fifa 10, Cant believe I kept a clean sheet too, Keeper kept out Torres on the 87th to keep it clean!

Good game man!

Ha prob the first time I played so bad in Fifa, nothing went right, bad passing, no luck, Id say I had one shot in the first half. Got caught on the break too often and any shot on target Reina seemed to let in. Disaster of a start to the league, may put some time into Fifa again and stop playing MW2!
