How to Connect Wirelessly to an Xbox

Many users connect to their Xbox consoles through a wireless connection to transfer movies, pictures, games, and music from their computer to their Xbox's hard drive. This frees up the process of having to burn the files you need to a CD-R or a DVD-R to get them on your Xbox hard drive. Connecting to your Xbox's hard drive will require some software and a little bit of time.
