Sharing Wireless Internet Connection W /xbox

Jul 26, 2004 8:19AM PDT

I have a wireless network setup at my house using MICROSOFT BROADBAND BASE STATION (Router) and Wireless USB adaptor.

Product Info


Im on the computer that uses the usb wireless pc adaptor (MN-510). I want my xbox in my room to connect to the internet. Since i don't have the base station (Router) in my room obviously i can't hook it up to the base station which is down stairs. I search around and also read on this site that you can do a shared internet connect or bridging.

(BACKTRACK ALITTLE HERE)
Since i'am using one of my USB port on my computer for my (USB WIRLESS ADAPTOR) i have a ethernet slot open where i can connect my xbox to my ethernet port using a cross over cable. but i can't get it to where it sharing internet. I'v tried ICS and bridging but i can't seem to config it properly.

Can anyone help, or has successfully shared connection on a wireless network.

You need wireless bridge, AP client, or gaming adapter

To wirelessly connect a Blu-ray player or Xbox to Internet, you need a device that may be called by many names including wireless bridge, wireless gaming adapter, wireless access point, and AP client. Even their prices vary all over since it is hard to compare. Here is a page at http://www.rayinblu.com/blu-ray-wireless that lists all the Blu-ray wireless connection options available and their pricing.
