Linksys RV42 Gateway to gatewaye tunnel

I have 2 RV42 routers ,one in the main office and the other in branch office ,my WAN connection is ADSL 1M in bothes ,i create VPN tunnnel gateway to gateway using DDNS and the connection is done stuts connected , but after litewhile the connection loste but when i disconnect the tunnel it come bakc again and so on pleas help me

Check to make sure that you have the Keep Alive and Dead Peer Detection options enabled under the Advanced section of
the tunnel setup. This keeps the connection stable after a long period of time being connected.

Connect to Linksys Cable Gateway via AirPort Extreme Base Station?

Thank you in advance for any replies.
I have the following new setup:
A G3 Blue tower running OS X 10.4.10 is successfully connected to the internet via a Linksys WCG200 Cable Gateway connected to RCN's cable internet service. The WCG200 unit has wireless capacity though it's connected to the G3 tower via ethernet cable.
A second Mac (G3 iMac DV running OS X 10.4.10) is in another room in the office. I'd like to set it up with internet by wirelessly connecting with the existing WCG200 unit using an Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS) I've recently acquired. To ensure a smooth process, I reset the AEBS to factory settings and installed the AEBS software (version 4.2) onto the iMac DV. Finally I plugged in the AEBS into the iMac DV using an ethernet cable plugged into the AEBS's WAN port (AirPort Admin Utility advised me to do so).
That's the hardware configuration. Working out the software and configuration details is proving 'niggly'.
First, I used the AirPort Setup Assistant to configure the AEBS. I told it to Set up a new Base Station, then to set it up as connecting to the internet using a Cable modem (the top option of two—the second was to set it up with internet through a LAN). I set up the name and passwords for the Base Station and had the utility configure the AEBS accordingly.
No internet connection occurred. I tried using the Internet Connect utility in the Applications folder, but no button or visible option for connecting via AirPort appeared, as the Setup Guide indicated it should, only a button for a VPN appeared.
I called Apple and asked whether it was even possible to connect to the internet using the AEBS talking wirelessly to the WCG200 unit. A tech told me it could be done by going into the AirPort Administration Utility, going into Configuration, clicking on the WDS tab and inputting the MAC address for the WCG200 unit, then going into the Airport tab and typing in the channel that the WCG200 is using. Note that the WCG200 unit has 3 MAC addresses listed; one each for “modem MAC address,” “WAN-MAN MAC address,” and “WAN-DATA MAC address”. I used the “modem MAC address.
The Apple tech added that it might need further tweaking, but that Apple couldn’t provide this tweaking and that I might check various forums if need be.
I followed the Tech’s advice, at which point the utility informed me that it couldn't use DHCP or NAT with this setup’ and to make sure that the "Distribute IP Addresses" checkbox was deselected under the Internet tab. This I did, but it was already deselected. I told the utility to update the AEBS accordingly, and restarted everything, including the 2 Macs and the WCG200.
Result:
No connection.
Tried it again with the Ethernet plugged into the AEBSs LAN port, still no connection.
Help! Can’t I get the AEBS to even see the WCG200? I know wireless is properly functioning in the WCG200 because another user with a Windows laptop connects to it wirelessly. The Mac Tech also mentioned that this could be relatively easy with an AirPort Express piece of hardware (Card? Base station?) but that it would be difficult with the Airport Extreme Base Station.
At this point we’re willing to spend $100 on getting this up. What would be our best option in terms of equipment, or can connectivity be accomplished with what we have?
Thanks again,
skyheart

skyheart, Welcome to the discussion area!
In theory using WDS would provide what you need.
In reality the Linksys device is not compatible with Apple's WDS and therefore this will not work.

PowerBook G4 17" 1.5GHz & Linksys WCG200 Gateway

Summary
My Mac won't get the full downstream bandwidth (9 Mbits) with either wireless or wired ethernet, but my roommate's Windows computer gets the full amount (and then some) with his wired ethernet connection. My ISP and Linksys both report that everything is working fine. What's going on with my Mac?
Full Description
I recently got a Linksys WCG200 v.2 Gateway (cable modem/router in one device) and set it up with my ISP (Cox Communications). Our service is supposed to be 9 megabits downstream, and 1 megabit upstream. I connected to the router via wireless and wired, and have been to four different speed test sites only to discover that my downstream speed is never faster than 3.5 megabits. The upstream is still getting up to as fast as 1.3 megabits.
I called Cox to ask them if perhaps they had not provisioned the proper amount for our account, and he verified that he had in fact dedicated 10 megabits to our account and that it was in fact being delivered to the modem at 10 megabits downstream and 1 megabit upstream.
Next, I called Linksys to ask if there was something wrong with the WCG200 gateway and they suggested the standard reboot and reset options which didn't do anything to solve the problem. They suggested that the device may be defective and I should return it to the store where I purchased it. Before I did that, though, I tried two more things.
My roommate has a Dell with WinXP on it, so he fired it up and tested the speed at a few different speed sites to notice that he was receiving between 9 and 12 megabits downstream and 1 megabits upstream. He was hard wired to the gateway, so I tried it again on my PowerBook, but still I was getting no faster than 3.5 megabits downstream.
I tried calling Apple, but they just said that it was probably the gateway or Cox, but I know that's not true because if either of those weren't working/configured properly, then my roommates Dell wouldn't have been able to get the full (and then some) downstream speed. The agent simply had me remove my SystemConfiguration folder and then reinstall Tiger, which neither did anything to fix the problem. What a waste of the AppleCare Protection Plan!
I'm pretty convinced that my last test has narrowed down the possible cause of the problem. I inserted my Cisco 350 Aironet PCMCIA wireless card to test to see if there might be a problem with either my AirPort Extreme card or the ethernet controller on the PowerBook, and to my surprise, I was able to get 5.5 megabits downstream consistently. The Cisco card is 802.11b.
I ran one other test by jumping on my neighbor's wireless network which is rated at 4 megabits downstream, and I was able to get the full 4 megabits downstream with my AirPort Extreme card as well as with my Cisco card.
Due to the improved functionality of the Cisco card and the fact that my roommate's Windows computer was able to get the full amount, I'm pretty convinced that there must be a problem with the way my Mac is communicating with this particular Linksys gateway device which is causing it to not receive the full downstream amount. However, I have no clue where to go from here as far as more troubleshooting techniques or possible fixes for this problem.
Please help!
PowerBook G4 17" 1.5GHz Mac OS X (10.4.7) AirPort Extreme Wireless Card

I don't know the answer but am curious--do you need to make the upgrade because your 1.5G board is dead, or because you'd like a little more speed?
If the latter, I think you'd be disappointed. In doing a number of upgrades on desktop machines, I've found that, although calculated benchmarks may look better with any upgrade, you need a 20-30% boost in processor speed for the increase to be noticeable in normal use. When I upgraded an old G3 from 300 to 500 mhz --a 40 percent increase--that benefit was crystal-clear. When I compare my 1.0G PowerBook G4 to my 1.25G PowerMac G4 tower (same OS, bus speed, RAM, and VRAM), I see little if any difference in day-to-day computer use from the 25 percent advantage in speed in the desktop model
If the need is for speed, you could end up with a costly upgrade that doesn't "feel" any faster.
As to you real question, it might be better to contact a company selling PowerBook parts to see if they can shed light on the logic board interchangeability. I've bought parts from this firm:

and found him to be an excellent vendor. Call and ask--the toll-free number is on the main page.

IPhone stalling Linksys Cable Gateway???

I've got a Linksys Wireless Cable Gateway/Router (WCG200) set up at home, and on several occasions when I'm surfing on my iPhone, the linksys simply stalls or hangs, and I have to turn it off and back on again to let it sync back up to my ISP (Cox). The linksys stalls not only the Internet activity on my iPhone, but also my other computers in the house. But it only locks up initially when I'm actively surfing on the iPhone. It does not lock up like this when surfing via the computers. As soon as I turn it off and then on again, it syncs back up fine and works properly until the next time.
The tricky thing is, it doesn't seem to do it with any regularity. No specific website I'm surfing, no specific time of day. The only consistent thing is that it only happens when using the iPhone (but not all the time).
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Kenton

When I read your post it immediately caught my attention because I had the same thing happen to my D-link DI624 router.
I was surfing the web one evening and all of a sudden web pages stopped loading saying it couldn't connect with the server. I noticed I still had 2 bars for my wireless connection, but nothing was working. So, I chaulked it up to the iPhone 1.1.1 quirkiness and didn't even bother to check any of the other computers running off the same wireless network that night.
The next morning I heard my wife complaining about her email not sending from her laptop. Then my middle son said he "didn't have internet" so went and reset the router. So, that explains why I lost my connection the night before!
Coincidence?

Connecting my 550 Powerbook with Linksys 354G Gateway Kit

Hello and help!
I've just set up my iMac with the Linksys modem router and ethernet connection and all works OK.
I now want to use the Linksys WPC54G V.5 PMCIA card that came with kit with my 2nd computer, a 550 PB..
I plugged the card into the PB and I get the card icon but I can't wirelessly connect. I've opened System Preferences/Network to try to select airport but the tab is not there. Being a 550 PB, it's never had an Airport Card.
How do I open/configure my airport?
I haven't connected the PB via ethernet through the router. Do I need to do this before trying wireless? I thought the card in the PB would pick up the wireless signal from the modem router connected to the iMac but nothing happens.
I'm obviously doing something wrong but I can't work it out!
Can anyone help set me up (as it were..)?
Thanks, Russ

Russ,
The Linksys site says that the WPC54G does not support Mac. I'm not sure of the chipset in that card, but I have a Belkin card with the Broadcom chipset that OS X recognizes as an Airport card.
Have you tried System Preferences/Network/Show Network Port Configurations to make sure the Airport is on? If the card is not recognized by the PB, Airport may not be an option.
Sometimes a second party driver will work with non-Apple cards. I checked the IOXpert site and it says that their driver will not work with the WPC54G.
http://www.ioxperts.com/devices/devices_80211b.html.
I tried this driver with a PC only D-link card with no success, but maybe it will work with the Linksys:

Hope this is of some assistance.

Can I add VOIP Gateway SPA2100-SU to the DMZ of Router BEFSR41 Ver 4 ?

I am having multiple problems with dropped calls; need to reboot my LinkSys VOIP Gateway and so on, and my VOIP provider has suggested the following: "Add your Gateway (the physical device I guess) to the DMZ of your router." We are trying to tell the Router to give this VOIP Gateway, which gets its IP address via DHCP from the router, to essentially give this Gateway carte blanche to any port or destination it wants. I have NO idea how to do this on the BEFSR41, which is a CA model with Version 4 appended to its model number ? Can anyone send me how to advice ? - Mike BRYAN Ottawa Canada PM me for my email.
(Edited post for guideline compliance. Thanks!)
Message Edited by JOHNDOE_06 on 01-22-2008 02:54 PM

First thing is to assign a static IP on the WAN / Internet side of your SPA-2100 so that you can set that IP to the DMZ of the BEFSR41. If you are not sure how to assign a static IP address on the spa2100 or how to open the web interface of the spa2100 and befsr41, then you better refer to the KB articles from www.linksys.com/kb. Just type in something like spa2100 or befsr41.
By the way, you may also enable NAT mapping and NAT Keep alive in your spa2100 aside from opening / forwarding ports in the befsr41 (check out Answer ID 5242). Lastly, enabling Send Resp To Src Port in the spa2100 is another option to try (this is under Voice > SIP > NAT Support Parameters).
It really requires much reading for us beginners to fully understand these devices. I am happy that I learned how to use the KBase site of Linksys since it gives me useful info about their products.

Using a third-party card and gateway with PowerBook Pismo

Hi,
My birthday present this year was an Apple PowerBook Pismo - the G3 400 model (full spec. below). It runs the latest version of Mac OSX (10.4.6 as below). Before I got the Pismo, I bought a Linksys WPC54G wireless card for my original laptop, a ThinkPad T23. This works fine with my Linksys WAG354G gateway, but I'm wondering if I can do the same with the Pismo, since original AirPort cards are still hovering at £70-£90.
My Linksys card is the revision-3 ie 'v3' version. It seems to be detected by my Pismo - running the AirPort setup wizard means it is detected and the access point is found. My network is protected with WPA (I think it's version 2) encryption, and AirPort asks me for the network password during setup. However, the next screen is blank - the screen that asks about base stations. Clicking 'Scan Again' does nothing, and I cannot continue. This was all with the original verison of Mac OS 10.4, by the way. I updated the Pismo last night, so I'll have a go with it. Since it is detected by AirPort, would I be correct in thinking the card has the Broadcom chip that is AirPort-compatible? It shows up in Apple System Profiler as 'Third-Party Wireless Adaptor,' if that helps.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Rob Johnson

You're quite welcome zwarbo.
Should you need it, the procedure (as I remember it, my Pismo's out of action at the moment) is as follows:
Insert the card into the 'Book and allow Mac OS to find it. Once the 'PC Card' symbol appears beside the clock, click on the symbol and read the drop-down menu. If it says something like 'Unknown brand - Network Controller,' the Pismo has found your card. Next, open 'System Profiler' (Hard Drive -> Applications -> Utilities). Point to 'Network.' If your card is working as expected, it should display 'AirPort Extreme.' If not, you may have a card using another brand of chip, since only cards using BroadCom chips are supported natively by Mac OS. It's hit-and-miss what chip you get in your card - there doesn't seem to be a general trend. My card has the FCC ID 'Q87-WPC54GV3' and the IC ID '3839A-WPC54GV3,' if this helps.
If it does show up as AirPort Extreme, here is the full procedure for setting up the card for your network:
- Open 'System Preferences'
- Head to 'Network'
- There should be an option, possibly in the drop-down box, to select 'AirPort.'
- You will then have the option of switching AirPort on.
- Select 'Only Join Preferred Networks'and either search for your access point, or manually input your router's details (the default IP address for the WAG354G is 192.168.1.1).
- Now, when you insert your card, AirPort should automatically switch on and connect to your network. Naturally, if you want to use your Pismo on the move, you'll have to uncheck the above and try another way. Enabling the 'Show AirPort Status' is useful, while you're there.
Take this as a rough guide. My Pismo has a battery problem, so I'm having it sorted. As such, I can't actually use it, so when the 'Book is back in action, I'll double-check the procedure (I don't posess another Mac other than an ancient iMac G3, long before wireless). The Mac should remember your WEP or WPA key, unlike the Linksys Windows utility, which is tempermental at best.
Hope this helps,
Rob Johnson

Can you post the results from the below command for the Cisco Routers?
IOS Command: "sh version"
Why not static route without NAT through the LRT224 IPSec VPN?
Just curious why did you use LRT224's for the Site to Site VPN instead of the Cisco Routers?

Connecting internet socket to a wrt310n linksys

hi
i have a wrt310n linksys.
I want it to connect some computers in a small wireless network and share internet between them.
I connected computers soccessfully and now i can't take internet and share it by my access piont.
I've used earlier linksys models that take internet by rj11 and share it by 4 rj45 lan ports and wireless, but in wrt310n that i bought now there's no rj11 port and i can't connect my DSL cable (RJ11) to it because wrt310n internet port is RJ45.
how can I give my DSL internet to wrt310n?
thank you

The Wrt310n isn't a gateway (dsl modem and router combo). You'd have to get a dsl modem to plug that cable into, then connect the RJ45 from the modem into the Wrt310n. I don't believe Linksys sells gateways in the US anymore. This would be an example of what you want http://www.linksysbycisco.com/AE/en/products/WAG160N
I don't work for Cisco. I'm just here to help.

MGCP flow problem - ASA

The following is the setup and the problem we have:
* MGCP call agent -- ASA 5510 -- vpn tunnel -- linksys -- MGCP gateway
* VPN tunnel setup is in aggresive mode (initiated as needed from linksys).
* When MGCP call agent is up but the vpn tunnel is still down, MGCP traffic (udp/2427) tried to reach gateway and failed --> this is as expected.
* Next, linksys brings up the vpn tunnel
* Any other IP traffic can go through the tunnel, but not MGCP traffic from call agent to gateway.
* Checked from packet tracer: it passed phase 1 & 2 (checking the flow), it found existing flow and used that flow. Then it stuck there, looks like it didn't know where to go next (no ACL or route checking).
We noticed that the annoying following workaround will make the MGCP goes through.
* shutdown MGCP call agent
* disconnect vpn tunnel from linksys
* system reload the ASA5510
* after ASA5510 is up, linksys initiate the vpn tunnel
* after vpn is up, bring up MGCP call agent
* MGCP traffic goes through the tunnel
It seems like ASA MGCP flow table is not updated if there is status change in VPN tunnel. Any idea how to fix this ?

Thanks for the reply.
However that wasn't mgcp ispection issue, it was more on dynamic vpn configuration issue. The setup is dynamic vpn initiated from remote sites (aggresive mode).
Worked with Cisco TAC and got the workaround. Following is the summary, hope it's useful.
1. Previous dynamic vpn config was:
crypto dynamic-map outside_dyn_map 20 set transform-set VPNHigh
When the tunnel was down and the call agent (central) was sending traffic to the call gateway (remote), the ASA created a connection to send the traffic out in the clear as it didn't match any crypto access-list due to the tunnel being dynamic.
2. The call agent (cetral) continued to attempt to send traffic to the call gateway (remote), which kept the conn up, even when the tunnel came up.
3. When the tunnel came up, the ASA continued to use the existing conn and sent the traffic out in the clear.
4. This is very similar to bug: CSCse36327 - GRE Packets are no longer encrypted and are sent out in the clear
http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/Support/Bugtool/onebug.pl?bugid=CSCse36327
Even though that mentions GRE, it's the same issue.
5. After the tunnel was up and "clear local-host " was issued, the conn was torn down and a new conn was built to go over the tunnel.
6. To avoid this situation, a crypto acl for this dynamic tunnel was created:
access-list dyn-mgcp line 1 extended permit ip
crypto dynamic-map outside_dyn_map 20 match address dyn-mgcp
crypto dynamic-map outside_dyn_map 20 set transform-set VPNHigh
crypto dynamic-map outside_dyn_map 40 set transform-set VPNHigh
Now, when the call agent (central) sends traffic to the call gateway (remote) when the tunnel is down, the ASA drops the packets and doesn't build a conn until the tunnel is brought up.
7. This was tested by bringing down the tunnel and watching incoming packets from the call agent (central) to the call gateway (remote) and verified they weren't being sent out in the clear. The tunnel up was brought up and traffic started being passed between the call agent and the call gateway.

RV042v1.2 & Newer Cisco Small Bus RV042 Compatible?

One of our locations recently upgraded their VPN router from a Netgear FVS318 to the Cisco Small Business Router RV042
My location uses the Linksys RV042v1.2. We can't get the VPN to connect. The VPN set up screens are similar, but there some parameters that we had to adjust.
The SA Lifetime parameter for the Cisco Router defaulted to 86400 Secs (Phase 1 & 2)
The SA Lifetime parameter for the Linksys only goes to 28800. So we adjusted the Cisco RV042 to match out Linksys RV042.
That's the only difference in the screens that I see. The Cisco has additional paramters under "Advanced", but they're all unchecked by default.
When they shipped the Netgear FVS318 over to us, we get the VPN to function, however, the Netgear has a max throughput of 10Mbps. (we get 4-5Mbps on Speedtest.net). The RV042 gives me over 40Mbps (Optimum Business w/Ultimate)
I tried both firmware updates on the RV042v1.2
RV042 v1.3.12.19
RV042 v1.3.13.02
Anyone know of compatibility issues between the different versions of the RV042?
Thanks
Al

Currently having similar problem. Have a three site network that was built before the new RV hardware revision was released, one with an RV082 and RV042s at the other two. Had backup routers for each model. One of the RV042s failed, out of warranty, so the backup was put in place and a new backup was purchased. All was good. Now a second RV042 has failed and the new hardware version backup was put into service. Problems is neither of the gateway to gateway tunnels to the other two sites are working with the new router. We have double and triple checked that the settings mirror that which was used before.
The new hardware version was bought almost 2 years ago and is out of warranty so Cisco is refusing direct support without paying even though it was just put into use and was a backup, which for a network that is needed is good practice to have spares on hand.
To me there is something clearly wrong with the newer hardware or the firmware it is running. If there was a security patch that breaks connection with older firmware and update needs to be released for the older hardware to allow it to work with the newer version again. If there is by chance any known settings to avoid using on the new hardware/firmware or tweak to make it work I'm all ears. The thought of having to replace the hardware at all sites because of this type of issue will honestly likley drive us to buying from another manufacture if it comes to that.

Wireless internet access works on one Mac, but not another

I have a Time Capsule connected via Ethernet to a Linksys ADSL2 gateway.
I have set up a wireless network on the TC, which both Macs (MBP and MB) can see and log on to.
The MacBook can get an internet connection wirelessly, the MBP can't.
The MBP does get an internet connection if connected to the TC via an ethernet cable
I have the connection assistant, but it get as far as asking for my airport password before giving up - I have entered the password correctly.
Any suggestions?
The MBP is running 10.5, the MB 10.4

I have fixed the problem with a reinstall of OS X. Before that, i had tried trashing the keychain, repairing it an also deleting the wireless networks plist. No luck.
Anyway, all OK now...

Printing over wireless?

Hi, I have a question for anybody that can help. I just bought a Mac Mini, my first Mac ever and I'm trying to get it to print to my HP on my PC. I can connect to the internet through my linksys wireless gateway, that's not a problem, but I'd like to be able to print to my printer that is on my PC in a workgroup called "apartment." Is this possible? If someone could help me out I'd greatly appreciate it, thanks much =D!
Mike

Ok, here's my update . I have done both joined network "Apartment" workgroup, and I have also created an account on my PC that has the same shortname and pw. Now, I can connect to my Mac from my PC if I start>run>"\\ip\shortname" and when I go to printer setup now I see my roomates PC that is connected wirelessly and itself (or the account I created on my PC), but I cannot see the PC that is directly connected to the printer, am I missing something small here. Someone please help, I'm lost here =P.

PPTP Problems with RV320

I just bought a new RV320 to replace my older RV082 in my local office network. I was able to get the RV320 set up and running, but had a problem with the PPTP settings. On the RV082 I have three gateway-to-gateway VPNs set up and when a user logs in using a PPTP VPN they are able to access resources on any of the gateway-togateway VPNs. I set up the RV320 the same way and had all of the gateway-to-gateway tunnels up and running and verified from my internal network that I can reach the servers on each tunnel. I set up a PPTP user and verified that I can reach the network from a remote computer, but when I try to reach a resource on one of the gateway-to-gateway tunnels it crashes the RV320 and I have to reconnect all of my gateway-to-gateway VPNs. I ensured that all of the pass throughs are enabled and haven't found any other settings that seem out of place. Can anyone think of anything else that I may need to set up to get this to work?
I know a lot of people wouldn't use the PPTP with the other options available, but this is the best option to connect my Surface RT tablet to the network while I'm on the road since a client isn't availble for it.
Thanks,
Clinton

Clinton,
just found your post and it sounds similar to an issue I am experiencing with a client.
Two sites, RV320 with latest firmware in the main office and a satellite office with a Netgear unit. Both connected via a gateway to gateway IPSec vpn. The link is very stable. The satellite office initiates the connection. The main office RV320 also has a number of users setup for PPTP remote access to company resources such as rdp/rdc.
Our issue is when I vpn in with pptp to the main office, the RV320, the moment I try to access the satellite office subnet it triggers the IPSec gateway to gateway vpn to crash. I then have to remote into the satellite office and manual restart the link.... then all is fine again. Now, if I am physically at the main office, and ping or access the satellite office subnet, all is fine.
My thought has been that either I do not have the gateway to gateway vpn setup properly or there is some access rule I am missing. I need to do some more research and experiment with the connection. It very well could be my setup as this was the first time I have setup IPSec... Just as a note, the RV320 itself never crashes ... it just shows the IPSec vpn is down ... I need to isolate the issue to either the Netgear or Cisco side...
I will follow this thread and see if you find out anything.
cheers

PC + Mac + xbox live help

Hey all, I'm going to be getting a mac mini for xmas and I'm not sure of the best way to network my internet connection. At the moment I have orange broadband unlimited and this is connected to my pc via a phone line > thomson usb modem and a usb port on my comp. The only network card on the comp is then directly connected to my xbox 360 via cat5e cable. Now when I get the mac I'd like to share this internet connection with all 3 (using the pc as the computer where I dail the connection off). The mac is wireless and supports 802.11g network, I would prefer to set the mac up in my bedroom with a seperate monitor etc and run it wirelssly, but I'd also like to keep the xbox directly connected to the pc via the network card (as I don't have to buy the wireless kit for the 360 and its running A1 as it is). So is there any sort of router out there that can do this or even better would some sort of usb router, or if not what sort of wired router can do this?
Any help appreciatted [:D]

You might want to consider trading in your USB modem for a wireless gateway. For example, the Linksys WAG200G Gateway. With a device like this, you can connect your PC & Xbox via wire and the Mac wirelessly.
