    sharing wireless connection through laptop?

    And, to directly connect the xbox to the laptop, would I need a crossover cable, or can I just use the standard cable that came with the system? Also, I will have to run the 'setup network wizard', yes?

    sharing wireless connection through laptop?

    Yes, due to where the cable comes in, the router has to be in a separate room, and I don't think my roommate would appreciate cat-5 running across the middle of the floor. From the bit that I've read already on that site, it looks like the best option would be to create a 'network' consisting...

    sharing wireless connection through laptop?

    Hello! I am disgusted by MS trying to charge $100 for their Xbox 360 wireless dongle, and heard mention of a way to connect the xbox to the internet through another pc. Is it possible to plug the Xbox's ethernet cable into my laptop (which has a wireless card) or my desktop (which has a...

    [DEAD] Nostromo SpeedPad n52 $7.99 after MIR

    I've looked at these with curiousity before, but for $8, I can't see a reason NOT to try one. Perhaps I'll grab two just in case :laugh: Thanks OP!

    (For Diablo2-Halo3-Warcraft fans) Hellgate:London $39 at CircuitCity (also QuakeWars for $39 also)

    Wow, OP sure spent a LOT of time plugging for this game. I was in the beta for quite a while, and while I did enjoy it, the game does indeed need many fixes. Hopefully FSS will stand behind for it a long time to come. And that slot "minigame"? Bollocks. It's a crapshoot whether or not you can...

    Nintendo DS R4 Multimedia Card $34.90 Shipped!

    Got mine ~9 days (2 weekends in there) after ordering. Not too bad considering where it came from. And yes, if you have a DS, this is a MUST own, since it lets you try games before buying.

    Logitech 5300e - $80 after rebates at ClubIT.com

    Haha, I can confirm that most, if not all, of logitech speaker systems rock out the bang/buck ratio. However, their subs are notorious for being too powerful. I had a set of z680s at school (z560s before that) and constantly received complaints to turn the volume down. Bass level never went...

    25 AR Logitech G5 USB Laser Gaming Mouse Retail (pay $5 shipping)

    An excellent mouse, but keep in mind this is the older model with only 1 thumb button. I don't know the other differences. I have the new one though, and have never been blessed to touch a more excellent mouse.

    help :( something is wrong

    I returned the d-link to OD, and picked up a nifty belkin USB g+mimo wtfbbq wireless adapter, and so far, so good with it. Easy install and it seems to work no problem. Thanks again for all the help!

    help :( something is wrong

    SWEET! IT'S WORKING AGAIN! I don't know if it was disabling the nvidia network controller, or just reinstalling the dlink card/drivers, but whatever it was, it fixed the problem. Thank you so much for the prompt replies. This guy is very happy! **EDIT** ARGH I spoke too soon. It worked...

    help :( something is wrong

    Thanks for both replies...I'll try uninstalling the d-link and see what happens. The thing is, it still shows the same connection strength as it did before. We'll see if it works. Thanks, and keep the replies coming!

    help :( something is wrong

    My internet works...but just kind of barely. Here's the scoop: My old system was having problems (9npa+ ultra, 6600gt, 3000+, audigy2 WD jb something or other), that when I shut down or restart, it just...wouldn't turn back on. I isolated the problem (I think) to the video card, and so...

    socket 939?

    Thanks for the response. The $200+ are a bit out of price range, and I need 3 pci slots for audigy, tv, and wireless cards. I didn't know NB fans generated that much noise, nor that they have a history of dying. Guess I have no other choice than to try my luck and hope I don't get nailed with...

    socket 939?

    I'm on a tight budget right now, and I think my old epox 9npa+ just crapped out on me. Using this as an opportunity to upgrade just a wee-bit, I want to pick up a 8600gt and upgrade my cpu from 3000+ to one of these nice looking 4000+. Does anyone have recommendations for a decent (stable! I...

    question to fat people who take up more than 1 seat...

    Fat people are a disgrace. It can be nothing more than a sign of disrespect, both to yourself and those around you. And all this crap about 'fat' genes? Bollocks. People are just making excuses, as they are wont to do.

    Nintendo DS Lite Game System + 3 Stylus and Screen Protector $124.96

    Not to rain on your post, but the CC deal says to add 3 or more items from the accessories and games list in order to get the $20 off. That, and I don't see a screen protector (does appear until after you add your DS to the cart). Dead deal? Unless I'm doing something wrong here.

    Heads up, Sam's has gotten in Wii's

    I think the fact that Nintendo voluntarily offered FREE replacement straps for anyone who bought early generation Wiis, no strings attached (pardon the pun), is a great monument to their customer service standards. If any problems do crop up, I imagine the 'tendo will take great care of its...
