I use my laptop as a wireless adapter for my 360, but for some reason if I turn off my 360 and then later turn it on again without also rebooting my laptop the 360 can't connect to Xbox Live. Anyone have any idea what the problem could be?

are you using a static or dynamic dhcp address
I'd go with static myself
Does your laptop have a hotkey for disabling the wireless adapter? Smack that, then smack it again. You shouldn't have to reboot.
Would I check that on the 360, the laptop, or the wireless router?Quote:

The router and 360 are on different floors. I just tried hooking the 360 to my squeezebox (internet radio) and it connects to live immediately using the squeezebox as a wireless adapter, however it won't connect to my PC for media sharing now. When I test the connection it says it can't find the PC.Quote:

Want to buy my 360 wireless adaptor?
If you're selling it dirt cheap I'll take it off your hands.Quote:
