After hours searching and experimentation, it seems to date there is no definitive answer to ensure the connection of an Xbox360 via ethernet, to Mac, to share Mac wireless internet dongle.
From reading, seems many report Apple not so forthcoming to resolve issues. (Possibly a delicate area between MS and Apple re possibly effecting sales of premium price MS wireless dongles maybe??!!..)
Seems many people connected first time following suggestions on the web, and, at same time, a lot more did not, with another solution around the corner, success for few, holding same many not able to connect still.
Small issues crop up such as, disable firewall in security, and one found here re little snitch permissions to allow airport, giving success for a couple with airport, yet not for many after with same.
Maybe for some there are still small apps possibly conflicting with process?...
Would it be too much to ask those clever enough to analyse and reverse engineer the whole core process (as is a process just like any other, and surely can be given a definitive solution/ answer??!!...) seems a large untapped area, waiting for someone to take the crown with definitive answer!...
Reversing, regarding what is outside, i.e. what Xbox Live requires which the Mac is not providing, (But which it has the capability of providing if areas covered...).
The big issue with the majority, is regarding Xbox connecting to web, Xbox stating DNS issue (Domain Name System).
The Xbox Connection Tester shows that there is no problem for Xbox connecting through Mac via Ethernet, so no conflict with machine ID, then the gateway IP being that of the Mac, so then accesses the dongle?.. and would I be right in assuming it then has internal working communication with the dongle, looking out to resolve DNS?...
Looking back at what I said about the issue re firewall, snitch etc.., I realise that same DNS message will be thrown up from Xbox, and is possibly a primitive message which can hide a myriad of issues behind it. The Xbox DNS message maybe tells you nothing, it needs someone with core knowledge to understand what is required between the connection of Mac and Xbox, and what causes confliction.
For the intelligent one, can you draw a picture of the unbreakable data connection from the Xbox360, to the Mac via Ethernet, through the Mac dongle wireless internet, to Xbox Live?...
(Which is possible but currently not enclosed entirely as a subject by anybody).
If someone solves it 'ENTIRELY' you will have the Holy Grail of a blog!!! (Maybe stick ads in to potentially make lots of money for effort.
It has to be possible, right? - 00001111
