I have a question about hooking up to xbox live. My computer is run on wireless internet but I don't really feel like shelling out the $100 for an adapter. Is there a way to play xbox live through my computer's ethernet port, while it gets internet from a wireless router? Basically, I want to keep my internet wireless but then run a ethernet cord to my xbox 360...is there a way to do this?

Re: XBox Live Question...
Your wireless router should have about 4 ethernet jacks in the back. Simply plug your ethernet cord from your 360 to the back of the router. That's how I do it and it works fine.Originally posted by atomicdookieBeing kind, one to another, never disappoints. -

I hate to thread hijack, but I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good but inexpensive wireless router for my 360. Thanks!Comment

Re: XBox Live Question...
I suppose it all depends on what is where in your set-up. For me, my 360 is right next to my router, so I just run a small ethernet cord to the back of the router.Originally posted by zasbury25It is called bridging...check this site out:

If your laptop is next to your 360, this will work, but I don't see the point as you will have to have your laptop on while on Xbox Live. Plus, if you're going to run a wire, why not just run it to your router instead to the laptop?Being kind, one to another, never disappoints.Comment
