I've got a strange problem with my son's Xbox in that the (Microsoft)wireless adapter shows a constant red light but will not connect to the wireless network.
I'm using a BT Voyager ADSL wireless router and (here's the weird bit) I already have 2 Xboxes connected to the Internet with no problem.
I use MAC Address filtering as the security (no WMA or WEP)
The MAC address of the new Xbox has been defined on the router. Previously, this would be enough and the other 2 Xboxes would connect with no problem.
The new Xbox wireless adapter simply shows the constant red light.
I've switched the kit around and I've proved that the new adapter is OK (it works on another Xboxes)
I bought the Xbox from Argos and this is the 3rd one (the first would not even boot up. the second had the network problem and it appears that the 3rd is just the same)
Is this a problem with the Xbox (bad batch from Argos) or am I missing something?
I'm not a newbie to this stuff but at the moment it really has me stumped.
Any suggestions welocme.
Thanks
