u need a wireless adapter(netgear would be good) and then you attach the ethernet cable from ur xbox to the netgear then u attach the wire from the netgear package to the netgear then the other side to the computer. or you can the wireless network adapter and hook it into the back of your xbox and you dont have to connect anything.

Question: Why can my computer find the wireless router but it won’t connect to the network?
I recently bought a netbook and while setting it up in my house it shows that there is an available wireless network (my linksys router) but when I attempt to connect it fails every time. I don’t have the connection from the linksys secured and it is a very strong single. Any ideas?

Do you have a working internet connection? Plug the netbook directly to you connection to be sure. If you connect then follow these steps. If your connection is IP(internet provider)>>>>>>modem>>>>>>wireless router>>>>>>netbook. Shut down the netbook, shut off the power to the wireless router, and unhook the Ethernet cable from the router and modem. Connect the Ethernet cable between the modem the the wireless router. Power on the wireless router. These steps allow the modem to identify the wireless router and assign it an IP address. The wireless router must not be turned on until AFTER you connect the Ethernet cable.Did you properly set up the router? When first setting up the wireless use an Ethernet cable between the netbook and the router (any output will do) , launch your browser, and in the address bar type in 192.168.1.1/ or 192.168.2.1/ to access the set up page of your router. If you IP didn’t provide a modem the procedures are the same, just don’t power anything on until all the cables and connections are made. Good Luck. For additional help contact your Internet provider, they have connected just about everything.

Answer by dptd
If You want to connect 2 PC or 2 laptops or PC to laptop all You need is crossover ethernet cable (RJ45).

Then You plug it into ethernet port in both devices.

You will have access then to shared folder on the both computers. If You want have access to other devices in the network then You need to plug new laptop to router / switch. Depends what You have.

If this network will be only for those 2 devices, this one cable connection will be enough. You can also make (in windows for example) new network, just click wizard in control panel.

Good luck.
