Overview

Ositis, the maker of Winproxy, has developed an extensive setup section for installing Winproxy on Starband located here.  Or you can watch a step-by-step video by clicking here.

When installing Winproxy, you'll be required to have to network adapters (otherwise known as "NIC's") in the computer connected to Starband. One of these adapters could very well be a USB adapter, depending on which connection interface your 360 is connected to the computer with.

These two adapters are assigned "Internal" and "External" IP addresses. The Internal adapter will be the one that sees all of the other computers on the network in your home. The external adapter will be the one that sees the Internet. The external adapter will "automagically" be assigned it's IP address by Starband. You, on the other hand, will need to assign your Internal adapter an IP address manually. This IP address needs to be a "non-routable" address. Below are several examples of non-routable addresses.

192.168.0.1 thru 192.168.0.254
192.168.1.1 thru 192.168.1.254
10.0.0.1 thru 10.0.0.254

Do you see the pattern here? In most cases, you'll probably find that 192.168.0.* addressing scheme used the most. This is probably because Microsoft chose this scheme for it's ICS product which is built-in to Win98SE and above.
