My goal is to create a network like this:
DSL Modem --> Belkin Router
wired connection --> PC tower
wired connection--> Macintosh tower
wirelessly linked to
Belkin Wireless Access Point
--> Print Server
--> Xbox
The first section works great as of now. The trouble began with configuring the wireless access point. On talking to Belkin Tech Support, they claimed I couldn't do this without a Wi-Fi enable laptop or PC to complete the configuration, that this couldn't be accomplished by temporarily connecting a wired PC to the WAP.
Are they right?

I got one today, it worked fine as an ethernet hub but also could not get it to connect to either of two powerbooks by wireless. Called Belkin Tech Support, sat on hold for slightly over thirty minutes listening to a recording lecturing me about connecting things like they are supposed to and how to access everything else that would substitute for talking to a person. Finally got a real person who could not quite speak English. Had me to a series of stupid things that did not work. After three frustating hours, took the damn thing back. I guess I learned a bit about what it is like being a windoz user.
