Xbox Live help.

[JackScharp]

Hi, I recently bought Microsoft Wireless N Networking adapter so I could play Xbox Live.

I was wondering how to set it up.

Currently, I have a G5 Mac with Optus Wireless Broadband (it's a USB stick).

Do I need any additional hardware besides the Adapter and the items I just noted?

Thanks for any help.

just go into system settings on the xbox and connect to the wireless network with the network adapter for the xbox you got. go here if you need help.

I read that and under 'What you need' part it says for wireless I need:
* An Xbox LIVE compatible router, gateway, or
wireless access point (WAP)
* An Xbox 360 Wireless Networking Adapter
* High-speed Internet access
* A computer with a network card

I have all that except WAP.

For my internet, I just plug in the Optus Wireless BroadBand USB stick into a USB port and connect it via desktop. I don't have a router or anything like that.

oh man that's a tough one now. i know you can bridge a wireless connection to a wired connection to your xbox using a windows machine but i don't think you can do that using a mac. i will have to dig up some stuff to see if we can get it working. its a lot harder now since you don't have an external modem or router.

Alright, any help is greatly appreciated.
