XBL connection trouble

[speedbuggy76]

I'm having a little trouble connecting to XBL. Here's my setup:

1.phone line to INTERNAL DSL modem
2.NIC card to xbox (crossover)
3.PC is Win XP
I keep getting that last error on the checker (DNS)

I think the problem is internet connection sharing, where can I find ICS in XP?

Any help would be appreciated.

If my memory serves me, an NIC card has one ethernet jack. If you go straight from that to your X-box, then you're just connecting your X-box to your computer. (I don't think crossover cables work) Take a the cable that goes from the back of your PC to your cable/dsl modem and plug it in from the modem to your X-box. Here's a pic:

(Hope that helps! Good luck.)
