live connection dropping, Bidged connection PC wireless

[tom999]

Gents,

I have just setup my 360. My internet connection is at the back of the house and I have it wirelessly connected to a PC in my room (D Link 524 router and D link usb wireless adapter at the PC)

I want to connect the 360 to the pc and use the PC wireless to get on live

I couldnt enable ICS as the router uses 192.168.0.1 (and I dont think it can be changed in the router settings). So I bridged the wireless and 360 in windows.

This allows me to connect to live, but it tends to drop out after 5/10 mins. IS this just because the wireless adapter is a bit rubbish (it normally has about 90% signal so I didnt think it would be a problem), or do I need a crossover cable from the 360 to the PC when bridging?

Appreciate some advice, agonising having my new xbox and not being able to get on live!

cheers, Tom

i use a similar layout although i connect the xbox 360 with a crossover to the laptop, never get a problem,havent tried the usb adapter for the 360 so cant comment on that.

appreciate the post, seems like the 360 isnt always the best with ICS, have just bought a fuck off long cat5 for now, will prob invest in the wireless adapter later

cheers, T

I have used the 360 with a Netgear wireless bridge. Worked OK but nothing beats a hardwired network.
