Yes. There are ways to bridge a connection without using a cross-over. IE using the wireless network adaptor in your laptop as the wireless network adaptor for the 360 with a few DNS tricks (this will stop the internet functioning on that computer for however long you have set up but it will work just fine on XBL). However the simple way requires a cross-over cable and Internet Connection Sharing on Windows or Internet Sharing on OS X (I'm sure you can do it on Linux as well but I've never done it). You can make a cross-over cable pretty simply by switching pins 2 and 6 on one connector of a standard Cat5e cable.Xelyx wrote:Beat me to it.

Just enable internet connection sharing on your ethernet port and share your wireless connection. That's it.Josh wrote:Well I have my Laptop with Windows 7 here. Do I need to use a special program or can I just plug in my ethernet cable and instant bridge?

Not true. The lack of draw distance hurts, specially on that huge ramp in the original map. It's not bad but it feels dated.Gamerforlife wrote:The original isn't even remotely dated
