I recently splurged and bought myself an XBox 360. I've got Gears of War so I have a burning desire to get myself on to XBox Live and play with my friends. The problem is that I can't seem to connect my XBox to the wireless network I've set up.

I have a wireless network set up with a D-Link 900AP+ as an access point. I have my XBox with a ASUS WL-330g as a wireless bridge. When I go to test my connection it detects it as a wired connection and fails at the ip address stage. Also, when I go to edit my settings it doesn't have any wireless options such as the WEP settings.

I thought that any hardware should work with the XBox, is that false thinking? Do I need to buy the $100 wireless adapter from Microsoft or other "XBox compliant" hardware?

I'm fairly certain that you need the official 360 wireless adapter to enable wifi. Although the fact that you even get to the IP stage of the tests is further than I got with all of my non-official 360 wifi adapter.
