Cellphone provided Xbox 360 with Internet connection

What would you do if your place doesn’t have an internet connection? No internet for your PC or even for your Xbox 360. No Xbox Live. Well this guy went to great lengths to get his fix of the world wide web: he used his phone.

He connected his phone to his PC and gave it an Internet connection. That wasn’t enough for him though: he then connected his PC to his Xbox 360 and that worked too. Now both systems have a connection through his phone. Go to the full article for more details.

What would you do if your place doesn’t have an internet connection? No internet for your PC or even for your Xbox 360. No Xbox Live. Well this guy went to great lengths to get his fix of the world wide web: he used his phone to give both his PC and Xbox 360 a connection.

Being in a place with no internet connection himself he really wanted to find a way to remedy that. So he bought a Samsung i607 Blackjack to experiment with. He chose the phone because it was 3G capable and had Windows Mobile, which was an integral part of the experiment.

He then connected the Blackjack to this PC and used the Internet Connection Sharing feature to well… share the Internet connection with the PC, which worked. Not through with the idea yet though, he then proceeded to find a way to give his Xbox an Internet connection.

Following the same principle he then connected the PC (which still shared an Internet connection with the Blackjack) to the Xbox 360 and changed some network settings on both systems. It not only worked but he also hosted a Halo 3 LAN party, with 10 Xbox 360s connected to his cellphone.

Cool ain’t it. Now if only the iPhone could do that.
