Hi
Does anybody know if it is possible to connect an 11Mbps "Snow" AirPort station to the xbox over the extra ethernet out and use it as a wireless connection to another AirPoirt station which is connected to the dsl modem? i mean if i do so, can i use XBOX live wirelessly?
thanks for any help!

I have not tried it as your setup mention, i guess it would depend on what basestation type is connected to the DSL modem, is it an Airport Express?

My guess it would be easier to connect your Xbox to an Airport Express and then use the snow as a bridge with your DSL into the snow..

Let me know how it goes.

I have played Halo 1 and 2 and now working on Brothers in Arms. I am happy for a Slayer match in Halo 2 anytime

Michael, when your xbox is connected to your airport extreme, does the airport extreme also act as a wireless basestation or extended on your wireless network?
