Well, I did it. I bought something made by Microsoft, and it works better than the equipment it replaced :eek: After well over a month (probably two) of trying to get this Linksys Wireless G Game Adapter (WGA54G) to work with my XBox, I finally gave in a got the Microsoft wireless adapter. It's smaller, and can be set up directly from the XBox Dashboard. The Linksys requires a PC (GASP! :eek: ) to be set up properly. Now, as far as I can tell, this particular piece of equipment work perfectly. It sat around for a while just letting its LED's glow, while I tried to find a way to set it up. Lo and behold, my brother asks me to pick him up at the airport after a business trip, for which they supply him a laptop (it's a pretty crappy Dell, but it'll do). I plug it into the adapter, insert the CD, run the setup utility, set it up to work (it even saw the right network). Plug it into the XBox, nothin'! So it sat around some more, until I got the MS brick a few days ago.
