There are 2 ways to hook up your 360 without the $100 adapter

                            Direction 1 Typical PC

   (If you do not have a wireless network card, you can pick one up for about $30 - $40)
   (You must also have a wireless router or access point to get signal for your wireless card.)
2   Once you have installed and setup your wireless network and have your computer connected to the internet, place it near your Xbox 360.

option 3 if you don't have a pc by your xbox is to get a 3rd party gaming adapter that can be picked for for about 40-100 depending on the type and brand you get.  I use both of those setups stated by boost, and they both work flawlessly. the only thing is if your doing the ICS one you might want to disable your anti virus and firewall software because they can spoof a bad NAT and make it hard for you to connect to people on live.

can somebody guide me correctly
cuz all these are really confusing:/

some people say you can connect through ICS, while others say I should disable  all ICS connections

I am just getting pissed off with this NAT Strict as I can't connect to most rooms


ANywya here is my stuff:

BT Boardband is my ISP
BT HomeHuB is their package connection they have given me.
(I hate Networking)

BT HomeHuB is a router: ethernet port 1 is connected to another router called Linksys for Vonage and Ethernet port 2 is connected to the internet.
Vonage is a Linksys RT31P2, as 3 ethernet ports and 2 phone lines. I connect my Xbox 360 to the vonage which gives me NAT Strict. However if I directly connect my Xbox 360 to Hub, it comes up as NAT Open/



   
Xbox 360→Linksys RT31P2→HuB

I have 2 wireless connections, the fact is HuB comes with wireless enabled.
I use a USB stick for wireless connection, and I am sure there is a network card in the pc "XPC 802.11b/g Wireless Kit #3"


So can someone please guide me with Xbox 360 wireless connection:/ I don't wanna over do stuff cuz my dad will start blasting off at me:/


Thanks

the linksys was probably set to strict nat by default because it is a voip router. you can log into the router by plugging your pc into it and going to http://192.168.1.1 username should be admin or administrator or blank. password should be admin, 0000, adminitrator, password, or blank. i dont know which one is default for linksys. then the NAT setup should be in a advanced tab for networking. but the more routers you run through, the slower your connection can get, and the worse the settings can become. so just hooking up to that main hub and also using it for wifi would be your best bet.
