Not quite following what you are trying to do. Please give us more details on your setup and we'll go from there.

 

i have a wireless connection for my laptop. but when i connect the laptop's ethernet to the xbox it doesnt work, live doesnt work. i use a router n stuff so i dk y it doesnt work.

 

Are you trying to pass the internet connection from the wireless connection to the wired connection? Why not just run a line to the Xbox?

If you must, you can try to bridge the connections (wired/wireless) and set it up that way.

 

Sorry...double post.

 

can u explain how to do it please?

 

Here is a good link.

You can also just google windows xp bridge and come up with lots of tutorials.

 

so al i really have to do is bridge my wireless connection w/ my local network?

 

whenever i make a bridged connection between the local are network and the wireless the wirelless disconnects and it wont let me reconnect

 

sorry...wasn't thinking. You can use the bridge to make your laptop a wireless access point, not the other way around. Linksys makes a wireless 'game adapter' specifically for what you are trying to do.

so wat im trying to do wont work?

 

To the extent of my knowledge, no it will not. Maybe someone will chime in with a solution though. I'll take another look to see if I can find anyting.

 

is there a way to do this w/oput buying anything cuz i dont feel like spending mroe money to play xbl when 360 has wireless in it
