Answer 1

YOU HAVE 2 CHOICES MY FRIEND YOU COULD 1 USE A LAPTOP OR BY A WIRELESS GAMING ADAPTER MADE BY LOGITECH FROM CIRCUIT CITY. I OWN IT AN IT RUNS PERFECT, COMES WITH 2 BOXES HOOK ONE TO THE ROUTER AND ONE TO THE XBOX AND PLAY WIRELESSLY WITH A RANGE OF 100 FEET. OR DO THE LAPTOP THING   BRIDGE YOU WIRELESS CONNECT AND LOCAL CONNECTION AND ENABLE INTERNET SHARING, GO TO YOUTUBE AND SEARCH FOR XBOX LIVE THROUGH LAPTOP AND THERE WILL BE STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS.  THE LOGITECH BOXES ARE $50 BUCKS usd AND THE LAPTOP THING IS FREE IS YOU OWN ONE.         GOOD LUCK MY FRIEND

Answer 2

If you want to access the internet wirelessly, you will need some kind of wireless receiver.  It doesnt have to be the official xbox360 wireless receiver I think... because you can plug in any usb wireless receiver into one of the usb ports in the 360.  But I suggest that you get the 360 wireless receiver (about $90 USD) just so you wont have to deal with problems that may arise from 3rd party peripherals.  After you plug it in, you should set up a wireless connection on the 360... just follow the on screen instructions.  

P.S. you wouldn't have this problem if you bought the PS3 instead of the 360, cuz the PS3 comes with wifi built in at no extra cost.  

Answer 3

Okay as u have a PC with a wireless receiver already u can connect ur console to the PC with a ethernet cable,

then u need to share the Internet connection from the pc i mean to right click on the wireless network then properties then from the share tab check allow others network users to connect....

OR, in case u r XP u can from the start menu run type in the Run window  netsetup.cpl enter then complete the wizard,

hope this works
