Logging on to Wifi using Xbox 360 Slim

I recently bought my first Xbox 360 Slim. When connecting to Internet, my ISP redirects me to a web page which asks me for a User ID/ Password. I get access when I enter that info.

Now when I try to connect to the internet using my Xbox it is able to connect to the network but to the the net (Xbox Live). The reason for this is that it never takes me to the web based login page.

Is there any way I can connect to Xbox Live (without changing my ISP)?


Solution 1:

As far as I know, it's not possible to use browser-based logins with the 360.

The option most people choose is to connect to wifi using a laptop (or desktop), log in via the laptop browser and then share that internet connection over ethernet. On Windows 7, this is a function called ICS (internet connection sharing) for which there are numerous good tutorials on the internet. On a Mac, this is called "Internet sharing" in the Sharing preference pane. They're both pretty easy to set up.

Solution 2:

This is likely to be ISP specific and thus a good question to call and ask your ISP. The xbox contains no browser functionality, so unless they have an alternative route to internet access (a different DNS setting) I would guess your out of luck.

Call your ISP directly and ask them about it.
