[QUOTE="IanCT, post: 764388, member: 6074"] How is your Mac Mini getting online, wirelessly from a router in another room? If so, you have to enable sharing from the Airport connection to your Ethernet connection in System Preferences before your Mac will function like a router. And yes, you have to use a crossover cable between the Mac and the 360. I don't care if the device is auto-sensing or not, like-devices use crossovers because the transmit/receive pair are on the same pins. When I install networking equipment, I always fabricate the correct cable. As for DNS, if you enabled connection sharing in the Mac, you should set the Primary DNS on your 360 to that of the Mac's IP. The Mac *should* pass thru any/all DNS packets. [/QUOTE]
