Ok, problem. I downloaded XBC and got a wireless game adapter from linksys. Now when XBC is looking for my Xbox, it is taking forever. Is this common? I have the game adapter set to the internet setting, and installed it, but I don't think it is working. Help please.

first of all make sure your xbox is on the "looking for games" screen, second, make sure ur using an ethernet cable instead of a regular phone cable(ik it sounds stupid, but ik people who have actually shoved a regular phone cable in there), you might have the linksys adapter firewalled and you might want to look into that (the computer firewall looks at the adapter as a hacker trying to get into ur computer), if all else fails, just get a nice longass ethernet cord, also it might not work if you are using a router, instead of a router get a cross-over ethernet cable or a hub.
plus i think if you look on the xbc homepage, somewhere it says that it wont work w/ wireless routers/adapters but im not sure, look around on the xbc homepage, they might have some helpfull troubleshooting tips
