[QUOTE="Kyomii, post: 261050, member: 7328"] I doubt very much that the xbox will work wirelessly via airport, but to try this you do need to buy the wireless adapter for the xbox, which is not cheap. Have you bought the wireless adapter for the Xbox? Without it you have no chance of connecting wirelessly. Secondly, when you say you can only connect via ethernet, is there any chance you can put a router on that ethernet connection? (Although it already sounds routed, so I doubt you will be able to) If you can, you can then connect your xbox via ethernet plugged into the router, and also your iMac G5 plugged into the router at the same time. Or, if you bought a wireless router, and the wireless xbox adapter, you can connect xbox wirelessly and iMac via ethernet. If the ethernet connection cannot have a router attached to it, and is a single ethernet connection, the best/cheapest way to do it would be to use ethernet to connect the xbox, and then, when you are not using the xbox, plug the ethernet cable into the iMac.
