Geeez your pushy..
Now I havent got a 360 so Im stabbing here but you havent answered questions lready posted.
Why dont yo let the xbox connect directly to the router? Is this not possible? ie why are you connecting the laptop to the router and then the xbox to the laptop?

Its nothing to do with sky, its an ip conflict.

Is it that you dont have a wireless bridge and so youre physically connecting the box with a crossover cable to your laptop and then letting the laptop wireless to the router?

If so, your answer is here...

Off the top of my head I'm guessing youve set a static ip and or subnetmask on the xbox, and you need to change the xbox to pick up an ip automatically.

But as I said at the beginning I dont have one to look at for you.

I also had this problem when first connected to Sky.

The problem is, the router has the same IP address that ICS on windows xp tries to assign the X-Box.

The only fix is to access the router : http://192.168.0.1
Username : admin
Password : sky

Change the routers IP address to 192.168.1.1

If you have set up a static IP address with your Laptop, you will need to change it after this operation, but if your network connection is set to automatically detect network settings, you should be fine.

Now run ICS on the Laptop and you should be up and running in no time.

Hope this helps you out.

This may seem a stupid question, but could someone please tell me how to change the IP address of the router. I accessed the router using the link posted, but i can't find how to change it.

Thanks

Wireless Andy couldn't you use your old wireless router as a bridge and thus remove the need for ICS?
