Hi, I am really new to this and just got a premium system from a guy I work with for $200. I really bought it so I could play Online with him and others from work and I have a WRT-54g Wirelss router. My question is can I connect my 360 to the wireless router my plugging an Ethernet Cable (don't have one yet) from the 360 into one of the ports on the back out of the wireless router? I know this sounds stupid but my 360 is going to be set up only about 3 feet away from my cpu and wireless router, so I figure I can save money by not having to buy the offical wireless Game Adapter. anyone know if its possible? Thanks, Evan.
