Hi,
Just wondering whether any one can help with this, I have recently bought an XBOX and am looking to connect it to XBOX live and wondering whether I can do it with my exisiting internet setup. I currently have a PC connected directly to the internet and a wireless router. In the room with my XBOX I currently have another PC connected wirelessly to internet. I am just wondering whether it is possible to connect to Live via this PC, i.e. if I was to connect an ethernet cable across the 2 systems? If not how else I could do it?
Thanks in advance!

you could buy an ethernet gaming adapter, this would connect via ethernet to your xbox, then the adapter would pick up the internet signal from your router0

You can buy a wireless adapter for your xbox and not need any cables.

i've used both ways to be honest...wireless was pretty laggy playing online with xbox live...speeds improved when the 360 was wired with ethernet insteadWe all die. The goal isn't to live forever, the goal is to create something that will0

Is that not basically the same as the XBOX wireless adapter?0
