A friend of mine recently traded in his PS2 for an XBox. He bought the Linksys WGA54G wireless adapter for his PS2 and it connected flawlessly with his Linksys WRT54G router. Now that he's switched over to XBox, I'm having a heck of a time trying to get connected. Here's what we've done:
I looked at xbox.com/connect to see if there were any known issues with the router and wireless adapter that he has. It said to upgrade firmware to certain versions, so I upgraded the WRT54G to firmware version 2.02.7 and the WGA54G to firmware version 1.10 per their instructions. No dice.
I tried reconfiguring the WGA54G via the setup CD. No dice.
I called both Linksys and XBox Live support. They said to try hard wiring it to the router and see if we could get through. I did and set up an account for him on XBox Live. All of the IP and DNS information was found and saved by the XBox. We bring it into the other room where the main TV is to try setting up the wireless. IP Address and DNS servers options in the XBox dashboard were set to automatic and contained the correct information. I go to set up the wireless information so that the XBox can have the correct network name and WEP key, try to connect and 1 of 2 things happens: It finds the wireless network, but can't reach the DNS server or it has IP and DNS information but can't connect to the wireless network.
I have both the XBox and the WGA54G adapter set to "Infrastructure".
I am at a loss for what to try now. Any help that anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
