Re: F.E.A.R 2 demo out tomorrow morn XBL!

I borrowed a mates ps3 a couple of years ago and spent the whole 2 weeks playing fear (online and solo) that was the reason for buying my ps3.. loved it so much. It reminded me of a ghosty version of Halflife. and when I played it late at night in the dark, it really got my heart thumping! Downloade...

Re: Xbox 360 and internet dongle thingy

lol this is a funny thread. the guy wants to do a simple internet connection sharing and you guys are complicating the matter 10 fold. the trouble your friend will have is connection speed and from my experience with dongles, stability. its ALL about the upload speed when it comes to online gaming....

Re: Xbox 360 and internet dongle thingy

I know exactly what you're trying to do and it's absolutely possible. When you enable Internet Connection Sharing on the computer it turns it into a router. A router just has an internal and external network interface, which is exactly what the computer has (internal being the cabled lan/ethernet p...

Re: Xbox 360 and internet dongle thingy

sounds like you need to setup a network in windows. Have it setup so the internet is going direct into the laptop then to a router. You will see the laptop from xbox for now cus you've connect directly using the erthernet but it wont see the internet unless you setup a network and then setup xbox t...

Re: Xbox 360 and internet dongle thingy

Hi Guys.. Matt I don't think you quite understand it.. It's not a wireless adapter so to speak.. That little Dongle (probably not the right word) from O2 is all you have to connect to the internet. There is NO BT land line, not router, no nothing.. effectivly you can take your laptop anywhere and co...

Re: Xbox 360 and internet dongle thingy

One of my mates is looking something similar, altho he wants to just plug the BB dongle straight into his 360 as he doesn't have a pc, told him i'd doubt it'd work like that. I agree I don't think that would work either, hence trying to do it through the Laptop. But they are both trying to get the ...

Xbox 360 and internet dongle thingy

Anyone know if you can connect your xbox to a laptop (or desktop) that has one of those broadband dongle things, rather then the standard phone line routers (from 3 or Vodaphone etc)? A friend has xbox and said dongle and wants to see if it's possible so he doesn't have to get a phone line etc? Any ...

Re: Anyone got a RROD 360 for sale?

What does he want it for? I have one with all leads and 1 wired controller. No HDD but a memory card. Well he's a pc gamer and hasn't been fazed by the 360 or ps3 before, but I've got him interested. So much so he's borrowed his brother in laws for a week and is hooked! So he's going to get one. Pr...

Anyone got a RROD 360 for sale?

A mate of mine is looking for one, he doesn't want to spend very much but if you've got one laying around collecting dust drop me a pm. Ideally he's looking to get one with at least a controller and the leads.

Cheers

I've not been on for a few days, but my experiance since the new theme was added is it is more unstable.

Re: 360: router password not saving

I would guess all of the settings are in the system settings. Are you wireless then on your Xbox? I'm not, but On my PS3 I was and it's just a case of ticking the right box when you set it up. Wired on mine doesn't need a password (I'm guessing that's the same for all?) Go back to internet connectio...

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] How to replace longer wheels studs???

It's fairly easy to do, I think it's easier if you take the caliper off, but not need to. WHen you look at the back of the hub there is 1 hole big enough for the nuts to go through. YOu just turn the hub to the hole, hit with a hammer, out she pops. The move on to the next one- THey will be stiff so...

Re: MR2 prices will they ever go back up

As much as I love the MR2's, everything is relative, Prices for all cars are dropping and while I have to say I doubt they are many cars that can give you as much fun for your money as the 2. In this day and age you can pick up newer Audi TT's, Lotus elise, TVR's for not much more money then a 10 ye...
