So some of you may know i recently got my xbox....removed from my possesion......(it was jacked) and no i am back up and runing with the new system...(side note here being able to play crackdown on the highest graphic setting is very nice)

 

 

but i am at a loss b/c i dont want to shrug out a 100 bucks on a new network adapter, i have my pc sitting next to eh box and have a wireless network card hooked up there, can i piggy back my box of that card or not?

Man looking in online i did not realize how easy i had it with that little adapter....ohh well



 

If you don't have the Wireless for the 360 you have to buy it. No way to get around it. I don't think.



whoa...hold on man, this is easy. This is beyond easy actually...does your PC use a wireless coneection? Does it have Win XP?

If so this is what you need to do...

1. Plug an xbox in to your PC using a regular network cable
2. Go to Start--Settings---control panel---network.
You should see both your Wi-fi connection and your network adapter plugged in to the xbox
3. Hold CTRL and click on both connections.
4. Once both are highlighted, right click on them and select "Bridge connections"

Wait 15 seconds and youre done.

It's been posted ad nauseam that it's possible to use a cheapo ethernet bridge.

That is a network port and it is the exact port you need to use. Insert your end into hole and away you go.
