My HD has packed up on me so im now using backtrack 3 live until my new one arrives.
You may think thats a good answer to archangel.amael's question but it really doesn't tell us anything useful.Originally Posted by xRampage
What do you hope to achieve by doing this? Are you trying to join your XBox 360 to a wireless network using a BackTrack system which has both a wired and wireless as a bridge?

The OP edited out the reason was so he could somehow play Halo again.
Yes, so he did.The OP edited out the reason was so he could somehow play Halo again
If I'd have known it was important I may have given a more comprehensive answer </sarcasm>
I still don't get why bridging is required though.... my XBox is connected to Live without the benefit of bridging...

1) I edited out the Halo part because i decided it was irrelevant to the question, so don't come in here and just reply anything just to up your post count.The OP edited out the reason was so he could somehow play Halo again
Anyway...what i'm trying to do is share my internet connection from my Laptop (which is connected WIRELESSLY to my Router) through an Ethernet Cable to my Xbox 360 so i will hopefully achieve Online play with Backtrack 3.
BTW 'Lupin' the reason your Xbox is connected to Live is either beacause your Router is right next to your Xbox, you have a very long ethernet cable or you have a wireless adapter. I dont benefit from any of those.

Actually no, my XBox goes through a switch, a Linux based router/firewall and its then connected to my Internet router. Its connected to Live not because my configuration "just works" (it doesn't), but because I actually took the time to work out how to get it running by researching and trial and error.
Now regarding your question, I gather you want to use your laptop running backtrack to bridge the wireless and wired networks together so you can connect to Live? Thats the information that you should have included in the first place so we didn't have to play 20 questions with you.
It might be simpler if you just use BT as a NAT enabled router. You can port forward the required Live ports from your Internet router to BT then to your XBox. Or you could search Google for "linux bridge wired wireless interface" and read some of the results.
BT is not really the ideal system for doing this however unless you have a desire to learn how these things are done manually...

So what changed that all the sudden you can't play your Xbox?
A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one.
