Materials:

• VPN
  
• Laptop with wireless LAN port (Windows will be used in this)

1.

-Plug your Xbox 360 into your computer via ethernet cable.

2.

-Dashboard->Settings->System->Network Settings->Wired Network->Configure Network

Make sure that your IP Setings ans DNS Settings are both automatic.

3.

-Start->Computer->(Right click) Properties. Now you are at your network and sharing center.

-Click "manage network connections".

5.

-Right click local are connection, then select properties.

Subnet mask "255.255.255.0"

THANK-YOU THANK-YOU THANK-YOU. I was just asking about this on another forum too.

I'm already bridged, and I have a VPN, will this still work?

Yes it will, just remember to change the settings.

You are obviously not very experienced with Xbox. The prevention of DDoS, console ban, tracking, and much more. There are even some DLC that you can only get in certain countries.

Maybe the DLC in certain country but what about the MAC Address???

Why does everyone think it stops DDoS attacks? It doesn't. I'm yet to come across a VPN I couldn't hit. The only thing I couldn't hit was a guy who connected to his phone's internet.

Those people obviously had a shitty VPN.

They probably had a very bad private VPS? If you hit a VPN's IP it will not take down anything. Including the person. If you had their real IP the obviously you could take them offline.
