Have an Xbox networked via 802.11b? How the heck did you do it?

[Rooster286]

I'm trying to avoid running 150 feet of Cat-5 and would like the option of hooking up my XBOX via my wireless router. I know there are USB wireless, PCMCIA, and PCI cards available, however can you buy a wireless card that uses RJ45 jacks (like a 1 foot cable) or something similar? Or is there any way you know of to hook it up to a USB nic?

there are base stations that can act as a router as well. Like you can plug RJ45 into it for a local device and use it's wireless capability from other systems.

I think I remember seeing one somewhere...maybe someone can help?

Have you checked out the Wireless Ethernet Bridge (Linksys Model WET11) yet?

You should be able to get by with using an access point at your router, and a wireless bridge plugged into the xbox.
Do a search for wireless xbox on google and I'm sure you will see exact products to get.
