AFAIK , you need to connect the xbox to the router , via ethernet cable

as for the emulators , you need to connet to xbox thru the router with an FTP program , i use filezilla .

The xbox is very particular about the type of media (DVD) most will read CDRW's

you can connect the xbox to the PC with a network crossover cable, manually set the IP address to be within your network scheme and then use an FTP application (FlashFXP) to move files to and from the xbox

you may need to setup internet connection sharing on your PC for the xbox to see across the wireless network through the PC
