question about home networks

I have a router, and i use it for my desktop and may laptop, they both connect to the net fine. But. They arent connected. for example, i cant see stuff on my laptop from my desktop, and vice versa. This wouldnt be a problem, but is there a way to connect wirelessy to xbox live without spending a ridiculous amount of money for a silly little adapter? I think i need this to work

help?

First Result, first result.

To see files on your desktop from your laptop, you need to have them shared on the network.

The actual answer to his question is no, which he would know if he googled it. The sharing part of the post really has nothing to do with his question. The xbox does not need to be connected to a computer to connect to xbox live. Again, it's easily found by searching google.

He has a point there, this kinda stuff can be easily found via Google.

Start by giving us a list of everything connected to the network, i.e.:

Router Model
Computer's OS / connected to Ethernet Port # / IP Address
Computer's OS / connected to Ethernet Port # / IP Address
Xbox / connected to Ethernet Port # / IP Address
Anything else connected to the network

Also here are your steps Greenday. Follow this, and people on the internet will not be as rude to you.

1. Google it.
2. Ask an informed friend.
3. Ask someone who is trying to sell you something.
4. Ask the internet dwellers.

If Step 1 returns results, but you don't understand them, look them up. Read. Read. Read. Learn. Try. Fail. Try again.


the short answer is no, you don't need to spend a whole lot of money on an adapter if you can engineer the solution, which is available via a google search, try "connection sharing".


Now that you know the internet research steps, you are no longer ignorant. Any further questions without prior research will be viewed as laziness, and you will be ignored. Nothing personal, it's just how things are.

The only person who can ask dumb questions around here is me.

And that's because I am just THAT awesome. (And because I control all the world's money)
