Help - don't understand Vista route commend

L

Lightrope

Hi,

I'm trying to set up an ethernet cable connection from my Vista PC to my
Xbox 360. My Vista PC is connected to the internet via a wireless router and
a USB 802.11g wireless adapter. The private subnet for the router and for
Vista ICS conflict so ICS will not work. I've tried and failed, miserably.
Only static IP routing will work, using the Vista route command. I do not
understand the Vista "route add ..." command. I've collected all relevant
information below. Any help setting up the "route add ..." command would be
greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Are you trying to give the Xbox Internet access through the Vista PC?
The "route" command can't do that.

Here are two possible solutions:

1. Configure the wireless router to use a subnet other than
192.168.0.x, then set up ICS.

or:

2. Create a Network Bridge between the Vista PC's Ethernet and
wireless network connections:

a. Open the Network Connections folder.
b. Ctrl-Click both connections.
c. Right-click one of them.
d. Click "Bridge Connections".

I've written a web page describing how network bridging works in
Windows XP, and it's the same in Vista:
