other options for live?

hi guys :)

im not a cheapskate or that, but is there any other way to connect to xbox live wirelessly other than the offical microsoft? i got a pc next to my 360 which is connected with wireless G+ usb adapter. could i ethernet though the pc and use that internet connection to connect to my wireless router? or has anyone got any suitable ideas?

thanks :)

you can link an ethernet from ur pc to the xbox and share the connection. dont know how to do it in windows though. i have a mac.

or you can buy an access point for about £40 to do the same job, but will be a tad more complicated to use and more wires etc etc

is that easy?

or would it be smarted move to get the microsoft one?

well thanks for the advice people.

im just gona save up some cash and buy the microsoft one.

thanks for the help :)

i run live through my laptop which is connected to my houses wireless router...setup is very easy. I'll try my best to walk you thru the process but if ur good with computers it shouldt be hard:

1. ok so you to Start>Connect to>Wireless Network Connection (or however you access your wireless network connection properties...im using XP)

2. click properties and select the advanced tab

3. check the box sayin "allow other network users..." and select Local Area Connection in the drop down list

4. This is a side note: I turn my firewall off when i use my laptop online due to connection issues (for some reason i sometimes cant get into certain lobbies if my firewall is on). this can also be done in the advanced tab.

5. Ok so now that thats done save your settings by clicking ok and repair your wireless connection from your computer...yes even if it is connected already without any problems

6. Finally (with your console off) connect ur ethernet cable into ur computer and fire up your 360...it should detect the connection automatically from your wireless network...works everytime for me

good luck, hope this helps

but my pc isnt wireless, i have to use ****** usb adapter to connect it, does this cause any problems?

and thanks for such an in depth explaination..makes a change :D
