Hey people

I'm (finally) getting broadband put in from BT (I'm in the UK). I'm having a wireless router put in, to which 2 or 3 PCs will be connected. I'll be using AOL 8 for my ISP.

I think I'll have to use a cat5 crossover cable to just plug my Xbox intp my PC, sorta using my PC as a server as the wireless recievers are USB.

I was just wondering if anyone else out there is doing the same, and if so can the Xbox "see" the connection and will I need to set it up in a particular way?

Thanks in advance

Oh yeah, the wireless adsl modem has one ethernet port on it, if I plug the xbox into this would it need to be cat 5 or x-over?

You can use a Ethernet/Wireless adapter for the XBox see:
