[QUOTE="schizmo, post: 1026498, member: 149224"] [b]Reply[/b] I had the same problem as you, all the forums do it the exact opposite way so I was forced to figure it out myself. If you haven't figured it out yet, its actually very easy. Because the Xbox isn't as good at detecting wireless settings as say... your iPhone or iPod is, you can enlist the help of either one, or at least thats what I did. Set up the wireless network on your Macbook with or without an encryption. Make sure its either 5 characters for 40-bit or 13 for 128-bit if you do use one. Then, log into this wireless network using your iPhone or iPod (or iPad), then hit the blue arrow that brings you to advanced settings. These are the settings you want to copy into your Xbox. Go back to your Xbox and search networks, locate yours, and enter the password you created for it. Once it says its connected,, enter in all of the settings from your iPhone into their according fields. For secondary DNS, you can leave it blank. Then hit Test Live Connection and you should be golden. [/QUOTE]
