Hey guys

I am thinking about getting a airport for my powerbook but I also want to hook my xbox to the network as well to play live.
If I buy the airport, is there a card I can buy for my xbox to be able to run that with the airport aswell.
What are the best ways to do this?

What you need is a wireless bridge, probably a "G" wireless bridge (otherwise your whole wireless network will run at "B" speeds). There are a couple of brands out there, including Linksys, SMC, and D-Link. Go to the companies' web sites and see what they offer. I'd advise against buying Microsoft's wireless XBox adapter, since it appears to be "B" only.

Most network equipment for small and home offices features setup through your browser, so there are no OS-dependent issues. Good luck.
