XBox Live with O2 Wireless

mathie

Hi
I have O2 Wireless which works fine for my PC.
I'd like to use it on my XBox 360.
Anyone know what to do?

Do I need one of these?

is your xbox close to the pc?

i really dont think the O2 broadband is up to playing games online, you'll probably get horrible lag, however it wont cost you anything to try.

All you need to do is connect the pc to the internet with the O2 device as normal (i assume its with a usb connection?) Then take the network cable that came with the xbox and connect it to the xbox and pc.

Now you basically need to share the internet connection with the xbox. known as ICS in windows. how you do that will depend on the version of windows you have.

This is pretty much how i am set up. I have a wireless card on my pc and the xbox is connected to the network card of the pc with a cable. It can be a bit of a pain in vista at least for me it is, I have to rejig the settings every time i connect but i didnt spend €80 on a wireless addaptor so i can live with it , however it was rock solid for me in XP

PM me if you get into trouble
