I got a shiny new wireless enabled laptop for Chrimbo :j Hubby got a shiny new XBox 360 with wireless controllers :j. Are we both happy? No!
It seems that the wireless XBox controllers won't work if the laptop is using the wireless internet which frankly is a problem because at this rate me and husband are going to have to talk to each other if I can't surf while he's gaming :rolleyes:
Anyone got any idea if this problem can be sorted out please?

Just run, run and keep on running!

Hmm, I'm doubting this. But you could try setting a different channel on the wi-fi basestation.0

If I knew where or what the wi-fi basestation was then I'd happily try it

Your laptop will be connecting to a wireless router to use the Internet (either on cable or ADSL). You can set the channel used (1 to 11) to operate on a different frequency from that xbox controllers.0
