Can I use a normal PC wireless network adapter to connect my Xbox 360 to Xbox Live?

I am lloking to plug my Xbox 360 Xbox live upto, but the official Newtwork adapters are so expensive. Is there anyway to use my current PC wireless adapter for the same work?


Unfortunately, no. You need the special Xbox adapter.

Connect Xbox to PC then connect it to the internet using pc's Wireless Adapter?

I need to connect my xbox to my pc then connect to the internet via my pc's wireless adapter.

Is it possible?
What do i need to do it?


!st answer is kinda right but no details.... heres how:

1. Determine if your PC has a wireless adapter.

2. Find an Ethernet cable. It can be any Ethernet cable. The Xbox 360 automatically does a cross-over process so you don't need a special cable. Plug one end directly to your Xbox 360 and plug the other into the PC. Almost every PC has one of these. If you have both your PC and Xbox 360 on, you will see a green light on the PC connector and possibly an orange (data) flashing light. This means the connection is working.

3. Use your PC,go to Start, Control Panel. Then click network connections. Look for the Local Area Connection. Right-click and go to Properties. Scroll down the list of things in the box down to "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" and click it and click properties. Click the Use the following IP address button and the boxes will become ungreyed. In the first box, type "192.168.0.1". The next box should default to "255.255.255.0". That is normal. The other boxes should be left empty. Your not quite done yet. Click OK on both option boxes to go back to the network connections window. Right click the wireless connection and go to its properties window. Click the Advanced tab and go to the "Internet Connection Sharing" section. Check off both boxes. Then click ok. We have finished setting up the PC.

4. Now for the Xbox. Go to the Settings blade and go to Network Settings. Go to edit settings and go to section for IP addresses set it to manual. Input "192.168.0.2" as the IP address. Type in as the subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Then "192.168.0.1" in the Gateway Address box. Don't test the settings yet. For each DNS, type "192.168.1.1". Now test the settings. Everything should pass if set up correctly. The PC should say that it found a local area connection. Your internet on your PC should also work. If none of these work, something was probably not set up right. Go back and double check your settings and steps and keep retrying until it works.

5. If done correctly, you should be connected to Xbox Live.
* Another method is to simply select both your wired and wireless connections, right-click, and select "Bridge" as stated below. This will automatically route the connections without the need to set your IP address on Windows XP.
* Using this method and a router, you can connect multiple Xboxs to the router, and the laptop as well, and have them all connected to Xbox Live.

Amazon Kindle DX (graphite, global 3G wireless)

Among leading e-book readers, a 6in. screen — which approximates the size of a paperback book — is standard: it's what you'll find on the Amazon Kindle , the Barnes & Noble Nook (in the US) and at least one version of the Sony Reader. But for those who prefer the more spacious pages of a magazine or newspaper, that size can be a bit cramped. With that in mind, Amazon released the Kindle DX in the summer of 2009, supersizing the Kindle experience with a 9.7in. E-ink screen.

With the subsequent arrival of the Apple iPad in April 2010, many tech pundits wrote off Amazon's similarly sized — and identically priced — Kindle DX as a non-viable product. But just a few months after Apple launched its much-hyped tablet, Amazon is making efforts to resuscitate the DX with a price cut to $379 (£238 ex. VAT; 280 inc. VAT), a new graphite finish, and a screen that offers higher contrast and darker fonts. The device still has 'free' integrated 3G wireless connectivity from AT&T, and aside from the new 'high-contrast E-ink screen' doesn't add any additional hardware enhancements.
