Xbox - Comp - Net

[Spazzo99]

(sukup time) first off id like to thank everyone whose helped me in the past and in advance for any help to be given.

I wish to connect my xbox, to the internet through my computer which has a wireless connection to the net. so what i tried was linking the xbox to my onboard nic, and bridging the nic to my wireless usb device. in the past when i had done this with another comp(rather than the xbox) or other device, once i bridge the connection i maintain a link to the access point but lose internet access. however, this time, though the nic recognizes the xbox, when i tried to do a non internet system link with two xbox(one on the access hub and one through my pc) they did not recognize each other. i have installed all the new drivers and bios for the onboard nic and motherboard but still it fails to work. my question is, why do i lose internet when i bridge the connections and is what i want to do with the xbox even possible. i am using a linksys usb wireless g adapter, and the onboard nic is from a shuttle sn25p mainboard. thnx again in advance.

p.s. wireless n is tempting, but is it as nice as advertised?

I haven't worked with the xbox, so I won't offer advice on connecting it (I don't know if it has any funny quirks)
As far as N standard wireless goes, forget it for the minute unless you are really in need.
The N standard is still up in the air. It's worse than when G first came out, with different manufacturers releasing stuff which 'complies' with the agreed standards, but forget to mention that the agreed standards aren't agreed with by everyone.
If you do go for it, consider it disposable, wireless technology is changing too fast to be considered a stable connection medium for the long term.
One piece of advice I'd give with anything N related is to skip the 2.4 ghz stuff and go for the 5 if possible (in theory the higher frequency has more problems going through walls, but is likely to suffer less interference)
