My son has an xbox360 which he has tried to get on the network to no avail. He has set the automatic feature and the xbox comes back with the linksys' router address, but it can't find an ip address. Same thing with a mac powermac that I have. The two winslows machines are ok. I have tried powering down the router and modem....to no avail. I've been steered toward a firmware update for my Linksys N router, but nothing seems to work. I cannot get the mac to share files with the winslows machines. At least with xp, there's an add a network place, start a home or business network' option, which the mac doesn't have. The mac has just about everything you could want, mail, safari, for browsing, iphoto for photo manipulation qand printing.
I bought my son a wireless network adaptor for xmas but I don't know if that will work or not. I know he has to plug in directly to the modem, bypassing or leaving out the router, to get on with an ethernet cable.
Anyone else experiencing this?
