Hey guys,
Do you know if the Linksys Wireless Router that people are using to hook their Xbox's to the internet would work with airport? Also, if this doesn't work, does anyone else have a solution to get my xbox on the network? Thanks a MILLION!

I don't have an Airport, but I do have a Linksys wireless router and I connect my XBox to it via a wireless bridge in the basement (where the tv is at). A friend of mine also bought the same Linksys bridge, but he has a D-Link wireless router, and the bridge works with it just fine. So, the bridge should recognize the Apple Airport since its using standard 802.11b.
One caveat, the bridge requires a Windows PC to set it up as it comes with a setup CD. You have to do this because the bridge doesn't tell you its IP address until you run the setup program, thus you can't access it with a computer via IP. I called Linksys before getting it and they specifically told me I had to set it up using a Windows computer.
