Macbook for wireless!!

Just so you people know, instead of getting a $100 adapter for wireless
LIVE, you can set up your macbook, (or PC laptop, I think) to share it's
wireless internet connection to the xbox. Check this out

Windows has had this feature since XP and even before that, there were
applications that allowed you to turn your PC into a dumb glorified bridge.

It's not broken. It's...advanced.

Ya on the PC it's called ICS. Internet connection sharing. Wireless on a
Gaming system is lame anyway. Your 360 sits in one place, unless running a
Ethernet Cable is a huge problem, run it and forget wireless. No adapter
needed, keep the wireless were it's really useful, which is a Laptop that
moves from place to place and your not normally gaming on it.

I know that, just wanted to let people know you don't have to spend the
money if you already have a computer. Don't worry, I'm glorifying Mac... I'm
a PC guy.

I agree with the ethernet cable thing. It is well worth "cabling up". Wireless is still not perfect, but a wired connection pretty much is.

Windows Me had it before XP. :-)
