Re: [Xbox] Help! Cannot get wireless adaptor to work on xbox 360 elite

Not a problem!

Anyone else tuning in have any ideas, speak up because the problem of the
greyed out settings in the 360 dashboard is a concern to me but could be
based on the fact the connection's being rejected by the Router for some
strange reason or bad SSID, etc.

Pogo & Mods, if it's gettin to be too much onlist say the word, only reason
I hadn't taken it offlist is because I'm not 100% sure of what's doing this and
more pairs of eyes than mine might see something I'm not or missing!
