Right, I thought I knew enough about networking to not have to post a topic on a forum... But hey, I'm not ashamed to ask for help.
So, here's how it goes, my only internet is a mobile broadband internet dongle which I use from my (Windows 7 running) laptop. Since day one, I've been able to create an ad-hoc (with manual IP settings) which has allowed my gf to connect her laptop to the internet via the ad-hoc, my laptop and the dongle.
After about a month, I threw a 360 into the mix and everything works fine (so long as i remember to create the ad-hoc on my laptop BEFORE turning the 360 on, or else it becomes a mess of having to create a different named ad-hoc). Today, I attempted to add a 2nd 360, and that's where the problems began.
On the testing, I can get both 360s to connect to network and both to connect to internet, but I can only get 1 to connect to XBL at a time...
Here's the static IPs I'm using for all 4 machines.
my laptop :
IP 192.168.0.1
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway (blank)
Primary DNS (blank)
Secondry DNS (blank)
GF's laptop
192.168.0.2
Sebnet 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway 192.168.0.1
Primary DNS 192.168.0.1
Secondry DNS (blank)
First 360
192.168.0.3
Sebnet 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway 192.168.0.1
Primary DNS 192.168.0.1
Secondry DNS (blank)
Second 360
192.168.0.4
Sebnet 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway 192.168.0.1
Primary DNS 192.168.0.1
Secondry DNS (blank)
BTW, the dongle doens't have a regular web page-like settings (i.e. typing in the dongles IP won't bring up anything in IE/firefox since it's basicly redirecting it to my laptop...) Also to note, the problem only occurs with the 360s, both laptops are fine and uninterupted.
