Another over 22 guy around here never hurts. <Grin>
Did you try plugging the 360 directly by Ethernet into that router
and see if it even recognizes that connection? Almost sounds
like a communications problem with the 360 until you test and
troubleshoot that out of the way, reason I say that is that you're
not getting anything from the PC but you didn't say if you did
with a working Ethernet hookup. Granted you won't leave it like
that, you want the wireless, but at least it'd determine if the 360's
OK and then you can go from there.
I don't have the wireless adapter but I do have that exact AT&T
2Wire router, that 'other number' is the security code for the
wireless hookup part. Since you can't get to that part of the
360's menu it hasn't come into play yet...
Determine if the 360 can hook to anything, then we can all get
a better grip on what the problem might be.
