When i have my pc and Xbox 360 on at the same time,, the 360, disconnects itself from the net, saying it cant find the IP adress, is there something i have to do to enable multiple wireless connection??

Make sure that both the PC and Xbox are set to use DHCP for the IP as it might be you have set the IP manually on one or both and they are conflicting.

Need to know a few things first

What o/s are you running on your pc?
What network setup are you using? e.g. router ics....

Hi

To check that your PC is set to server assigned IP address follow these instructions

Click on Start
Goto Control Panel
Open Network Connections
Right click on Wireless Network Connection and select Properties
Highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click on Properties button
Is the dot next to Obtain An IP Address Automatically ?

If it not then note down the settings that are on the screen before you think of making any changes incase the router is not set to use DHCP.

I do not have a 360 so not sure how to check on that
