because it and the 360 say 'Inactive' on them. Were there instructions
with the wireless adapter you got with the 360 Elite system? If so,
while everything was turned on did anyone follow those and see why it
won't change that status light? Gotta be something that needs to be
done to the adapter first to get it to link up right...
There's a wireless settings off to the right there, click on Edit Settings
for that and get one more screenshot so we can view the wireless
channel and other settings... Could be that the adapter is set to one
channel and your 2Wire router is on another OR even something else
on the channel selected if they're the same that's causing interference
but I'd think not because you've had other wireless connections work
properly.
