I just got an Xbox 360. After hours of messing around with it, I finally got the IP address settings right. For some reason, it didn't want to get an automatically assigned IP address via DHCP. I had to do it manually. I'm connected via ethernet cable to my iMac, which is sharing my internet connection from Airport. This isn't a problem. I can get online without issue.
My problem is with this stupid ass program. Everyone was singing its praises and it worked great until tonight for some reason. I didn't change a single setting but it decided it no longer wants to work. I've tried restarting my Xbox, disconnecting and reconnecting my cable, restarting my iMac, checking and rechecking my settings but nothing works. I'm at a loss. I'm staring at my console.log to see if anything comes up when I try to connect but there's nothing there. I just get the "can't find any computers running media sharing software" error when I try to connect. Every few minutes, in my log, I'll get this:
Code:

My IP address settings are as follows:
IP address: 192.168.2.2
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.2.1 (the IP address of my en0 connection)
DNS Server: 192.168.2.1 (I've tried 192.168.0.1 for my router that my iMac gets IT'S connection from).
Oddly enough, when I go to my sharing pref pane and go to the firewall tab, I've gotten errors that say that I've got another firewall active, etc. But I don't. I wonder if this has something to do with my problems. Any ideas? I hate this program...
