I'm trying to get my 360 hooked up in my bedroom, and connected to Live via wireless.
Setup:
We have a wireless WPA network set up. Our router is a linksys WRT54G. My Pc is connected to the network wirelessly (roommate has the direct connection)
I was stubborn the the 360's adapter ($75 for a wireless adapter? **** no.) so I bought the old xbox gaming adapter, which only allowed WEP. So I flashed the version to something akin to a D-Link router that allows access to WPA networks. (MN-740 firmware hack. All over google)
I can see my WPA network on the xbox, but I can't connect to it. I think I have further set-up to do on my D-Link gaming router. The guide I used mentioned I need to set the MN740/D-Link adapter up under http:\\192.168.0.30. It would pull up a web interface like the one I'm familiar with for my WRT54G. However, this won't pull up. I read online that I need to change my PC's IP address to 192.168.0.x (not 30) and then it'd work. But I imaging this would only work if I had the direct connection and wasn't connecting through our network.
If our wireless IP is 192.168.1.X, does this mean I have to change THAT to 192.168.0 to make it compliant with the DLink adapter? I dont follow this. What has to be done?
Was I close but no cigar and this won't be compatible with a Linksys router because the 2 web interfaces are different IPs?
Im so lost on how this all works. I wanted to take a stab at this. I wasn't about to drop $75 on an adapter so I picked this up on the cheap. I'm almost about to take the plunge since this has been a week long endeavor already.
