    Type http://192.168.1.254/ into your browser on the laptop.

    Go there, click firewall on the left, switch to low, save changes. Maybe restart the modem and XBox to make sure it went through. Worked for me with my XBox connected via ethernet to the modem.

    Is there any issues with using the wireless adaptor if you don't have a laptop?

    Was thinking of buying one as I want to put the Xbox in a different room.

    Like the first guy, no technobabble please!

    Are you only using the internet on the XBox? What internet provider are you on?

    I'm with Eircom. Got broadband just to play online (don't even own a pc!) and just have the xbox hooked up with a network cable which works fine.

    I may be corrected on this by someone more knowledgeable, but I think you'll have to get a WEP key. Get a mate round with a laptop, connect it to the modem with the ethernet cable, type the address I mentioned earlier. Click "Wireless" on the right and look for about 26 random characters for the "Encryption Key". Write it down and then enter it during set-up on the XBox.

    Grand.

    I have the wireless key code. It came with the modem and I have a laptop from work I bring home sometimes.

    I wasn't too sure how to hook the xbox up to it though.

    You've answered the question. Thanks

    Once ya have the wireless adapter it'll find the modem and ya just input the code so. :) If that doesn't work the first thing to do is check the firewall, but if it's working ok wired it should be grand wireless.
