With setting my xbox 360 up on to a network. I have set it up previously on a dongle but since then I have got a wireless connection and when I tried to connect again it just keeps failing the IP ADDRESS test, any help would be much appreciated. Oh and I have already enabled DHCP in sharing, not that I know what that means but the xbox faq told me to try it. Thanks in advance for any help.

To be specific it say: Your console was unable to negotiate a lease with your DHCP server.Make sure addresses are available on your server

What are you trying to connect to, a router or a modem? What make/model?

I have stuck the yellow ethernet cable into the back of my pc and the pc is connected to the router through a dongle that I had to install. My pc is Acer T180 and the dongle is a buffalo wireless g125 high speed usb 2.o and as for the router its just a standard talk talk huawai one if thats any help

you need to run it so that you have the cable running from your PC to your router and then another cable to your 360. I should warn you though, while this is what I use, the 360 won't always pass the Ip test. My friend and I were setting his up and did it the same way as mine and for some reason couldn't pass that test so he went and bought a switchbox from Radioshack and ran it through that and it worked.
