I have the last setup option on the list at the XBC help page. I have a wireless adapter to my computer, and my computer hooked up to my Xbox. When I try to connect to XBC, it doesn't work.

I am at the "Looking for games..." screen while neXBC is looking for a console. It can only look for one on the adapter on my computer, the "Dell TrueMobile 1180 Wireless USB Adapter"

I think I'm doing everything correctly, what should I do? When it asks if the console is on a wireless network (like a PSP), what should I say?

HELP!

Say NO for that.

BTW do you have a crossover cable connection from Xbox to PC and did you enable Windows ICS?

I have the cable connected and everything. But what's this Windows ICS?

Internet connection sharing. You have to setup your PC to share the internet with your Xbox.

if you havn't already, go to http://www.xbconnect.com/help
they have solutions for many of the problems that you may encounter while setting up xbc

if you have a firewall up, most likely xbc would have detected it and asked you/gave you instructions on how to disable it, if it didn't and you still think you have a firewall up, try going to the XBC help link, and look at the firewall links.
