Xbox360 Wireless
« on: May 22, 2008, 06:58:17 PM »
I was playing around with my Xbox360 that I got last year and I've yet to really play with it online because
1) I dont want to have to drag a wire across my house to use it.
2) I didn't want to spend $100 to use Microsofts wireless adapter.

I was Ebay last year and wanted a solution for printing anywhere in my house so I picked up one of these for $40
eBay - Women's Clothing, DVD, HD DVD Blu-ray, Inside the Home items on eBay.com

From all the reading I've done with the Xbox360 you cant just simply plug in a USB wireless thumbtick because it doesn't have the software loaded so it will not work. Makes sense because the Xbox360 will want to load the drivers for the USB thumbstick and since it doesn't support its not going to work.

Logged into my wireless router and enabled the "wireless Mac address" of the print server
I had the idea of why can't I connect my laptop to the wireless print server and login to it with my Ethernet cable and do some configeration stuff..
Logged in using http://192.168.0.102
Told it to search for my wireless router and saved the SID number
Enabled the IP settings.
Gave it a new IP of 192.168.1.102 since my local network is in that range
Unplugged it and plugged in my Xbox and walla it was connected to Xboxlive. Of course you have to go into system settings and tell it to look for a connection. ;)

So with that in mind I saved 60bucks and Im wireless. Its white too and matches  O0

Right on!   ...but what if you need to print something while PwNinG the N00bS at Halo?
I watched Jeepers Creepers once.  I didn't realize what it was until half way in.  The Jeeps never came.  The Jeeps never came!
