I say Vs, as getting all 3 of these to co-operate is starting to feel like one massive battle..

Basically i've had to move our wireless broadband router into another room, which while not a problem for the Mac Mini and it's Airport, is a massive problem for my Xbox 360, which was previously wired. I've tried to get Internet Connection Sharing working, following such guides as this one from Joystiq, but my Xbox 360 keeps coming up with DNS errors when i test the connection.

Does anyone have any ideas as to why this could be? One thing i have noticed, is that when i go to System Prefernces > Network and click Ethernet, the summary lists the I.P address and the Subnet Mask, but not the Router number. Is this normal? The Mini is connected to the internet fine, and i already know the Router I.D is set right on the 360, but the Ethernet option on the Mac doesn't show it.. almost as if it seems to not recognise it?

Any help greatly appreciated..
