MN-740 Help

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.broadbandnet.hardware (More info?)

I have a MN-740 but I dont have an XBox or the setup CD.
Can I use it as a wireless access point on my PC network?
If so, how do I access the adapter to set it up for the
network? I have reset it; are there default settings I can
use to access it through the network if I can't set it up?

I had originally set it up on an Xbox. Did I make a
mistake in resetting it? It has been used with an Xbox if
that makes a difference.

You know, I don't know. If you used the Restore, it may have wiped out the
original programming only, so you could just plug it into a PC and see if
you can see it or not. 8-)

The MN-740 needs to be programmed using the CD which came with it, through
the Xbox Dashboard. That's the only way you can set it up the first time.
