hmm help to get the 360 a wireless conection

[watforddude]

I have just baught a 360 and want to get Xbox live but there is no possible way to get a an ethernet cable from teh xbox to the BT HomeHub which is wireless which provides wireless internet for the laptop but what do i need to get the 360 to connect to the wireless Hub, ive stick in a belkin wireless adapter "some little USB thingy about the size of a memory stick" which does absolutly nothing wont even turn on

soo what do i need to get it to connect to the wireless hub.

a) homeplug (1 plug connects to mains using short ethernet cable other plug is at another point by the router and is also connected by short ethernet cable)

b) wireless bridge that has ethernet connection

c) official ms adapter (possibly £40 in store at hmv)

c would be the neatest option, homeplug would provide the best connection and b is a cheaper wireless route. you could also try and bridge the connection via a laptop/pc with wireless.

Just buy this mate from scan. You simply plug one into your router then into the wall, and the other one into your xbox ethernet connection, hey presto.

Homeplug generally gives a better connection than wireless depending on your setup.

You can share your laptops wireless connection with your xbox.
All you need is a crossover cat5 cable.
Plug it in between your xbox and laptop and then right click your wireless connection on the laptop and click properties and then sharing.
then select Ethernet.
You'll also need to give your xbox an IP address.

That's what I do anyway.
