Well i got a $40 router from radioshack and its the NETGEAR 5-port Fast Ethernet Switch-10/100 mbps-FS605 model.

So i get all excited that ill be able to connect my Xbox360, modem, and computer to this. But everytime i get all of them in, My internet will work fine but my xbox360 says it cant get the Ip adress. If i get the xbox 360 connected to xbox live, then my internet on my computer doesnt work. My dad said something about an IP splitter. 1: Would that help and 2: Can someone provide a link to one if it does help?


Thanks in advance

Hmmm, it sounds like you have an IP Address conflict going on between your xbox and computer. Try changing the IP Address on your xbox by 10 on the last 3 digits. So say its:

192.168.1.100

Make it:

192.168.1.110

I can't guarantee anything will work but its worth a shot.

Im not using a static Ip adress though. Im using The one where it automatically gets it from my computer. I tried using static but it said something about mac adress filtering.

    I do but the optometrist I got my glasses at last year was expensive as fuck even WITH my insurance, so I'm gonna order on Zenni and see if my insurance will reimburse it. And if they won't, then, oh well, still will be cheaper anyway
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    $90 for the safety glasses on Zenni, vs my daily wear glasses were >$200 after insurance

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    But even my computer monitors, that are like 3ft away when I'm leaning back in my chair, so much easier to see now with my glasses than without
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Doc was cool though, he measured my old glasses and I wanted to try different contacts than I had had previously and he's like "hmmm I bet you're this strength and that strength" and damn dude was dead on the money
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:

  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
