The original wireless xbox adapter works for it, and last I saw it was like $30 on amazon or anything like that

If you have a computer/laptop within ethernet cable reach and with a spare ethernet port, you can share the comps internet connection and hook up the xbox to the pc.

A really really long cable, some local shops might even make it to size for you

Alternative to cutting holes in things is networking through your electrical outlets.

Unless you really really want Xbox Live 24/7, I am sticking with caff and the really long cable method.

I mean 100ft is more than plenty. And only 8$! And it is pink. You know you love pink eclipse.

Bought a 100ft cable for 15 bucks, my Dad helped me run it through the floor.  Big Grin

Open 'Network Connections' (either via 'Control Panel', or right-click 'My Network places', choose 'Properties').
Highlight your two (or more) adapters you wish to combine, right-click on them and choose 'Bridge Connections'.

This is create a new virtual adapter called 'Network Bridge'. Basically your two Ethernet ports 'pass-thru' data. This works with wireless and copper.
