Xbox Live Wireless Troubles

**ThirdMarioBro** · 04-05-2006, 03:47 AM

Okay, the XB360 wireless adapter is fu*king expensive. $100 to be exact. I can get others for like half that price, but I don't know which ones are compatible. I can't wire the sucker stright to the router because it's in another room, and I refuse to hook it up down there because the only TV is the family TV, and I really don't need to listen to my mother b*tch about hearing Joanna Dark say "those punk ass b*tches can kiss my ass", and such. Sooo, is there any other wireless alternitives to the 360 adapter, or am I just fu*ked and have to buy that expensive price gouged piece of crap?

Also, can someone help me figure out how to set up Windows Internet Connection Sharing? I'm have a Linksys router in the other room, and I have a Wi-Fi'd laptop sitting here in my room right next to the 360. I try to use an Ethernet cable to link the 360 stright to the laptop and share it's internet connection, but I can't get them to talk to each other. Any help?

I'm pretty sure no other wireless adapters are compatiable with the 360. Too bad, dude. You could always just TRY and hook up your 360 directly, just for getting your account online. Then just try getting the money for the adapter. Sure, it's a rip-off, but if it's the only way to go it's better than nothing.

*sigh*, I had a feeling that's how it was, but I wanted to be sure. Guess MS knew they could recap some funds by making wireless a proprietary add-on and jacking the price out the roof. *sigh*

I suppose I'll just put the sucker on my tray table and move the console back and forth when I want to go online and offline until I can afford the adapter, which likely won't be until after E3 if I want to keep buying games until then *coughOblivioncough*.
