Configure Home Server with XBOX 360 Wired Connection

Recently I bought a XBOX 360 and I wanted to configure it with a Pear to Pear wired connection, because I’ll buy the Wireless Adapter Device later.
So, what I have setup to work together with my Windows Home Server and access all my Digital stuff over there. Example:

Configuration on My Windows HomeServer;
Define IP: 191.168.1.1
Define Mask: 255.255.0.0
Define Gateway; 191.168.1.1

Configuration on XBOX 360:
Define IP: 191.168.1.2
Define Mask: 255.255.0.0
You Have to set this information
Define Gateway: 191.168.1.1 (My Windows Home Server)

It’ll work with no problem and you’ll can access your photos, songs and movies.

But We can’t access the internet, yet… I’ll explain how to do it soon.
