Virtual Hosted Networking Windows 8.1

I am trying to Host a Virtual Network in order to connect my Xbox 360 to my wifi because my wifi connection requires you to access a web browser and authenticate information before it will let you connect. The only solution I have found would be to authenticate the information with my PC then host a virtual network, connect my 360 to the virtual network, and then I should have internet access through my PC. Problem is, when I connect my 360 to my virtual network it attempts to test the connection and reports an error stating "Can't obtain an IP address from your router or modem." I go to the configure network option and the IP Address is displayed as if it has been auto assigned. The Subnet mask is displayed too. The Gateway address is not and just consists of 0's. I opened admin cmd and ran ipconfig /all. I get the following: Wireless LAN adapter Local Area Connection* 2: should be my hosted network and as you can see, the gateway address is completely blank which would explain why my 360 is not getting a gateway address. Please help. What's going on here?

Hi,

As I know, If you set to automatically get the IP address, then the gateway address should be received at the time you get the IP address.

Or you can try to reset the router as a test.

Or most likely problem is that your router is incorrectly configured, so my question is: what about your other devices? Are they successfully connected to the wifi? Are you able to assign a static IP to the xbox? You can refer to your router manual to make sure that you have a correct configuration.
