Yeah, one of the lads @ work uses the wireless bridge setup to. This seemed like a neater (and possibly cheaper) solution.

I got the DWL 810 + bridge set up too.
Had a bit of trouble configuring it cause of the WEP and SSID stuff i'd set up before hand but now it's all comunicating together nicely!

Linksys 54g kit for me - Ethernet bridge into XBOX, wireless router on Wired network - gives access to PC/Broadband/Laptop etc...

54Mbps link is good for FTPing media files ... and PLENTY for gaming....

I'm using a Netgear wireless router and Netgear ME101 Wireless bridge to the X-Box. Only 11Mbps so not very quick, but good enough to play online without lag, download skins and check the latest xbox news & weather File transfers with Quix are reporting around 500kbps transfer rates at the moment, need to have a fiddle with ariels and positions.

That's not bad Dunk, I was only getting 300-320kbps (although a certain "New adventures of Sam Fisher" game was downloading at the same time from Bit Torrent to the PC (and subsequent uploading).

Cool, wasn't really sure what sort of speeds I should be getting from it? So if I'm using the interweb it'll slow it down a bit ? Just seemed a little slow compared to hard wired @ 10,000kbps Reckon its okay ?

Yeah, wish I was getting 500kbps!
I suppose if I was tranfering huge amounts I'd just unplug it and take it upstairs and get that superb 10,000kbps. Although I am a lazy barsteward
