Thanks, I really appreciate it! ^_^
I have no network bridges.
I'm using Internet Connection Sharing via a Local Area Connection on my computer.
Just to clarify:
USB ADSL Modem - plugs into back of computer via USB
- plugs into phone line in wall
RJ45 Crossover Ethernet Cable - plugs into Broadband Adapter in Gamecube
- plugs into back of computer
Local Area Connection Enabled on PC.
Operating System - Windows XP (Service Pack 2). DHCP is not enabled for either the Broadband Modem or the Ethernet (I have no idea how to enable them)...so I can't use the automatic settings, as all I get is 'failed to request IP from DHCP' or something like that.
For my Proxy Server Address, I'm using the same code as my IP address (which is also the same as my Default Gateway). For my Proxy Port Number, I'm using 8080, which I've allowed my Firewall to let things through with.
When I go to ipconfig/all, I get two sets of data (see my opening to this thread). Which data do I use?
As far as I can see there's nothing wrong with my cable as the computer does recognise it. I'm using the same setup as my friend, only his works and mine doesn't. He doesn't understand why it doesn't work either.
Thanks for your time.
