Hi, for the past year or so, I've been connecting my Xbox 360 to my laptop using ICS in order to use Xbox Live. The setup looks like this: Xbox--->ethernet cable--->laptop--->wireless--->router--->modem I've been using this setup for about a year, without any problems. However, yesterday, while the Xbox was connected to Xbox Live, my electricity unexpectedly cut out, and returned shortly. When I tried to reconnect, I wasn't able to access Xbox live. I'm running Windows 7, and in the 'Network Connections' page of the Control Panel, the Local Area Connection, which is the Xbox, remains on 'Identifying' for an extended period of time, and then eventually settles on 'Unidentified Network'. I tried resetting the network settings on the Xbox to factory default, to no avail. I've tried resetting my router, also with no luck, and I've tried disabling and enabling my main connection while ensuring it was 'shared', again with no results. I can bridge my main wireless connection and the Local Area Connection, but it results in an unplayable, poor Xbox Live connection. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, It seems this is related to the hardware, if it is possible, please switch another cable to connect to Windows 7 laptop for test. Meanwhile, please kindly refer to the following article to troubleshoot this problem: Use your computer to connect your Xbox 360 console to Xbox LIVE If this issue persists, it is recommended to XBOX forum for further investigation: Xbox Support Hope it helps.
