Think about what you just said. Run a cable or buy wireless asstard.

I don't have it, I run a cable straight into the xbox.

what do u want us to tell you.....?

[Osiris5217]

Just run a cable.

[BestNameEver]

Run a cable through the wall or something so its hidden.

is it somehow possible to get my laptop which has wireless and hook it up to my xbox via ethernet cable and get on live? It doesnt sound impossible. just an idea.

[Rapex]

Either with a wire or without a wire. There are no other options. Wait, hold one. I suppose you could just stare at your tv and pretend to be online.

No. Listen. I dont want to buy the xbox wireless router. They are $100. I dont want to run a cable though my house.

Have any of you guys heard of this? I just was wondering if it worked just as good.

that is telling you how to set it up....with a wireless adapter

[CodyTheBowler]

epic lulz..

[SatanTheSith]

Connect the appropriate wireless network adapter to the console. On the Xbox, a Wi-Fi adapter that connects to the Ethernet port (sometimes also called a wireless network bridge) must be used

Hey!! you should buy a wireless adapter for 100$ damn im a problem solver.

[Owned]

Damn... too bad you didn't buy a PS3 which has built-in wireless capabilities.

Sorry I couldn't help myself here considering the fact that the add-on is $100 in addition to paying for online capabilities monthly.

But hey... I don't have Halo 3. *kills self*

Whats the point in free wireless capabilities if theres shit-ass games to play online boy?


And in answer to the question, buy..a..wireless bridge.
You plug it into the back of the xbox and your off, no hassle, and theres hardly any lag.

True.Can't argue with you there.

I heard about people receiving wireless through their laptop for the Xbox 360 (as in, hooking your 360 to a laptop which is receiving wireless)...not sure if it's possible, worth looking into though.

[SatanTheSith]

True.Can't argue with you there.

Isn't it for ps3 though?
