Lets try this, Jeff.
First on the SBC connection problem, please go into Internet Explorer (I'm
guessing you use that as your browser) and into Tools/Internet
Options/Connections tab. Make sure there is nothing listed in the box at
the top (Dial-up and Virtual Private Network settings).
Second, click on the LAN settings button in the bottom-right of the
Connections page. This will give you a new screen. If you see any check
marks in any of the boxes, remove them entirely. Then click the OK button
to exist that screen, then OK again to close the Internet Options pages.
Close your browser.
On the Xbox adapter, since the original setup, have you powered it off for
about a minute, and then powered it back on? If not, try that. If it still
doesn't show in the base station devices listing, then something is
incorrect in the setup of the adapter itself.
You can reset the Xbox adapter by using the reset hole on the back of the
MN-740 to restore it to original settings, and then reconfigure the adapter
itself. See Page 4 in the User's Guide. Then specifically follow the setup
instructions, especially making sure the Xbox setup screen is listing
Infrastructure for the type of network.
