My XBox Isn't Showing Up on My Network

The Xbox is a video gaming console designed, manufactured and sold by Microsoft. A wireless network adapter can be purchased for the console that allows users to connect to their home wireless network. With a wireless network connection, users can play other players who also have an Xbox and wireless connection, as well as playing download games via the Xbox Live service. The wireless configuration settings on the Xbox may not be working properly, but fixing them isn't difficult.
