    XBOX Live - Router

    I got an XBox for X-Mas and want to go Live obviously.

    I have a question. (I e-mailed Microsoft, but no answer)

    I want to get a router to share my DSL connection.
    Question:
    Microsoft's web site lists only about 5 routers as being compatible with the XBox. However, there are 100's of routers that are cheaper. Does anyone know what the XBox is expecting from a router? I found one that I can get for 15 CDN after mail in rebates.


    Thanks,

    Is anyone here using a router with XBox other than the ones specified on their website?

    In theory... and decent router should work fine. Microsoft only list routers which they can get a percentage of the profits on!

    I'de format the harddrive in the XboX and install Linux on it! )

    That's been done.

    Can't remember where I saw it though.

    [digress]Does anyone know the electronic schematics for the controller ports? I know they are some kind of proprietary USB system but I'd like to have a bash at soldering up an adaptor to let me use my wireless joystick with an xbox. Is this even possible?[/digress]
    I don't live here any more.

    Information to make the adapter , but your joystick will not work because the XBOX does not have the proper drivers to know how to use it
    Tips:
    • Google is your friend! Search before posting!
    • Name your thread appropriately... "I Need Help" doesn't cut it!
    • Always post your code!!!! We can't read your mind!!! (well, at least most of us!)
    • Allways Include the Name and Line of the Exception (if one is occuring!)
    • If it is relevant state the version of Visual Studio/.Net Framwork you are using (2002/2003/2005)
