Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

theoretically, yes.

Its simply a matter of sharing your internet connection on your PC/Mac, and then connecting a lan cable to your pc from your xbox. If your asking can you plug it directly into the machine, then no.

however, speeds probably wouldnt be that good for gaming. Im getting 1.5Mb in Donabate. I hear people in the city are getting higher.

Anyone..?

ah thanks i was thinking bout it last night and that the only way i could think of it working.
still though is that not fast enough, i mean alot of companies only offer that speed. and its surely better than dial up.. (yes people are still using it)

I think the pings are terrible on it so online gaming would be out of the question.
