Cool. Looks comprehensive. I type corrected. Nice set-up. Isn't
there a way to run Linux on the Xbox without any modifications?
Hehehe maybe you could load BeOS on the Xbox! I haven't ran that
since it lost support for AMD cpus, and Nvidia graphics adapters.

I have a Dlink ethernet to WAN gateway and I can't get to its set-up
screen. The manual, and the web site says to "enter an ip address in
your valid range". I have yet to find a way to get to its set up
screen. I get outgoing data packets, but none in. It is under
Firefox, a browser package they recommend. The thing just won't
connect my machine to it. The instructions specifically say to assign
an IP. I am used to these devices assigning an ip to your machine,
but accepting the one passed to it by the WAN switch. I use the range
that *that* switch passes out, yet nothing. If I could get to the
gateway setup, I could get the wireless hooks typed in. This device
should be linking up directly with the LAN port on the machine in
question. Windows 2k sucks. I'd bet I could boot knoppix and get the
thing going quicker!
