wireless 360

[pjh13]

ok i am not sure if this is in the right forum or if it should be in live forum so mods feel free to move it. I have wireless internet but i have never bought the wireless adaptor but my question is if i connect my laptop which has a built in wireless card to my 360 just as if i were streaming music, is it possible to use my laptop as the wireless adaptor? ok i hope my question is clear and any help would be appreciated.

No, I tried it and it didn't work, I bought the wireless adapter yesterday and I must say it works very well. Hope that answers you question

do you think you could post directions? that would be great if you could but if not i am sure i will be able to find it by searching google. this would just be easier.

Ok, you need to bridge the connections. your laptop's wireless connection should have its own conncetion under "network and internet connections" as should the connection from your laptop to your xbox. i did it about a month ago so im not exactly sure, but i think you need to group them (left click and drag) then right clcik and select bridge connections. im not positive but it involved that. if its not that ill go back on my laptop and figure it out.
