Sup guys.. I have a network setup with an Airport base station, a router, a g4 mac(connected wirelessly to airport,) and my Intel Mac (connected to router with a cable.) I'm trying to get my 360 to connect so I can play live.. I'm having some troubles.... I have an older xbox wireless adapter the linksys wireless game adapter. I know for a fact this will work because on my older router I had it set up and working perfectly. When I got my base station, however, I wanted to set up the network on that. So far my Airport is configured on an open network, with a multicast rate of 5.5, interference robustness checked, and transmitter power 100%. I've put in the Mac Addr. of the adapter already. My adapter says it is receiving a signal but when I go to connect to live it fails the IP portion of the test.

My network is kind of confusing so I'll explain..

Cable Modem- Netgear WGR614v4 Router (wireless disabled)-***Connected to the Airport Base Station and my Intel Mac*** - My airport is connected to my G4 Mac downstairs
My Intel doesn't have an Airport card to answer any questions about that.
Any help would be appreciated..

Thanks in advance.
 
A suggestion is I think you need to "bridge" your connections. As in, connect your X-box to your laptop and then from that, connect to the net wirelessly.

I'm not sure how to do it on OS X though, as I only did it a few times with my PS2 and Windows laptop.
