Hey guys.

My mum's just bought me a NETGEAR WGE111 54 MBPS Wireless Game Adaptor, one of these
http://img429.imageshack.us/img429/7689/netgeargamxs5.gif

I've read the instructions fully, i have a NETGEAR wireless router aswell.

I plug the Ethernet cable into the back of the game adaptor and the other end of the cable into the XBOX Ethernet cable socket, there's suppose to be 3 light's lit up but there's only 2, but when i plug it into my PC there's 3 light's lit up. The light that's lit up when it's connected to the PC is suppose to be lit up when it's connected up to the XBOX but it doesn't light up when it's connected up to the XBOX.

But you get a CD with it called RESOURCE CD 1.01 or something like that, so it says plag the game adaptor into the PC via the Ethernet cable, so i do so and i insert the CD into the CD DRIVE and in the instructions it says the CD is suppose to automatically run the game adaptor configuration assistant, but it doesn't, i don't know if this is because it doesn't have a connection to the wireless network. But when the game adaptor is connected into my PC there local area connection logo is in the bottom right corner. It tries to aquire the network address but it doesn't so it says local area connection has limited or no connectivity.

I've got it plugged into my XBOX right now, and there's only 2 of the 3 light's lit up. The Ethernet light is suppose to be lit up and i think when it's lit up it means that it has a connection to the wireless network.

Please could someone help me with the set up and configuration of it, if so and i have been helped by someone and there help results in the sucsessful set up and running of my game adaptor, i will reward them! :)

I've just got it working so that when it's plugged into the XBOX the three lights are lit up, but that's only when the XBOX is swithched on. And it still won't connect to XBOX live, it says all cables are connected but cannot get IP ADDRESS.

Please can someone help me?

Does your setup look like this?

The thrid light might not light up until you try to acess XBL, because it might be the lan light, showing it is connected and on.

Lol, I need to know what you're connected to.

What is your router connected to? Your Xbox and Modem right?

Is your wireless WEP encrypted? You might need to put the code in.

I took it back to the store.

But how much would you have given me for it anyway?
