Bridging:
You will need to run an ethernet cable from your laptop or PC to your Xbox 360. From there you need to bridge your wireless that your computer is receiving to your local area connection. To do this -> Start -> Connect To -> Show all connections. You should see your wireless network and your local area connection. Hi-light both of them. With both of them selected, right click, and select bridge. After it is done... Congrats you can now play your 360 from your laptop or PC, but that's not why you are here is it lol?
Lag Switch:
Install Zone Alarm Pro 8. It should ask you if you want to allow a connection to your computer. This is your internet connection, so be sure to select yes and as as a new internet connection. You can choose a name if you wish, Internet would be fine. Now under Zones, double click your internet connection and change it from trusted to internet if it isn't already. Make sure DHCP and the DNS Servers are trusted. Now go back to main and change the Internet Zone Security bar to Medium. The Trusted Zone Security should be Medium also. Now highlight the Internet Zone Security bar. A dotted border should appear around the bar. This allows you to press the keyboard up or down to change the Zones security. High does not allow any incoming connections to your computer, but allows outgoing, so this is going to enable standby for you. Medium allows connections and therefor is how you disable standby. Standby is another way of saying your connection is on hold. While standby is enabled it allows you to ghost, which is basically become invisible. Your still connected to the game, but you can't update your location or others. Which makes it so you are not in the game, but you are :D. So basically if you were to hide behind a wall, flip the switch, find the enemy and kill him behind the other wall, go back to your spot, flip it off, he won't see it coming. While doing standby however it will cause the other players to lag, since they are trying to attempt to update your location and such. If you are host the lag is usually worse for the other players since you host the match and without you the match would lose connection, forcing players back into the lobby. Hence how Lag Switch became the name, because it is a switch and it causes lag for the other players, but not yourself.
Using The Switch:
When you are connected to Xbox Live and in a match... Make sure you are host and then just press up on your keyboard to enable standby and down to disable. So enable standby... kill the enemy... and disable. Even if the enemy shot you while you were in standby it doesn't kill you.
Keep in mind you only have a few seconds to use the switch, after that you lose connection to the game, causing everyone else to lag out of the match and back into the lobby. An example would be you are play CoD World at War you enable the switch and everyone starts to lag. After a few seconds they receive a Connection Error and then if you still have not returned from standby it gives everyone a error saying the connection to host was lost. Which can make things pretty obvious that you were using a lag switch.
Am I Host:
You can tell if you are host by testing out your lag switch. Enable it and if you can't damage the enemy then you are not host, so disable the switch and play the game legitimately.
