Hi, I just bought the MS wireless adapter of the xbox and
I can't see my local wireless network (linksys). However
I do see two of my neighbors wireless networks. I know at
least one of them is also using a linksys router. Just to
be sure my adapater and xbox live subscription was working
I successfully connected using one of my neighbors
networks ;-) Obviously it would be unethical for me to
leave it like this. Any suggestions? Why can't I see my
own network when its in the other room? I have tried both
infrastructor and adhoc modes.

Are you broadcasting your SSID?

Yep, SSID broadcast is enabled. I can also see my network
when I browse wireless nets from my neighbors house.

Oh and what kind of wireless security are you using?
