Rite then, to connect to xbox live i needed to be wireless becuase its just not practical to drag a huge cable from downstairs to up so i eventually took the plung and forked out for an offical adapter which i expect to be relatively easy to setup.......oh how wrong i was, for some reason it detects the wireless network in my house and as far as i can tell i have entered all the correct settings but as i come to test the connection it fails to connect to the wireless network everytime. At this point i dont think its anything to do with the internet so ip settings etc wouldnt have any effect its just a case of getting the xbox to speak to the network so basicly i was wondering if anyone has had the same problem or has any ideas why this might be happening? Also i have cordless phones in my house and i was wondering if this might be having any effect on it
