<--twitches..

Wasn't the router at all. Somehow, and I can't imagine how the hell this 
happens, given that I never "changed" any settings prior to trying to 
set the bloody thing up, the "defaults" for something to do with access 
in the XBOX isn't where messed up. Got a new issue of OXM, was fiddling 
around and decided.. what they hell, as long as it doesn't wipe 
"everything" to restore the factory defaults for the wireless, lets do 
that. Then:

Wireless - Connected
Security step - Connected
IP step - Connected
etc.

Sat there just staring at the thing thinking, "How the fuck do you ship 
someone a hard drive which has the settings for networking already 
fucked up, so it won't work like this the first time?"

Now.. I got all the OXM stuff I have added up, on a non-live profile, 
which isn't transferable, and which I therefor have to bloody redo (and 
that includes, replaying Halo 3 on Easy and Normal, while trying to 
remember how to unlock the stuff I have in it, the replaying up to where 
I am in Hard, now..) Apparently, its too damn hard for them to let you 
say, "This 'offline' profile is the same as the online profile, please 
copy any "existing" data over, and even more idiotic, if you logged in 
to try to do anything online via the web, thus making a gamer ID, you 
have to "recover" it, since, despite there being a "Yes, I already have 
one", option, if its not "on" your HDD already, it can't get it from the 
server either, until/unless you "recover my gamer ID" (Gives you an "You 
can't do that at this time" error, which is the same as what you, 
apparently, get if you enter the wrong password {like that makes sense 
at all})..

You can tell this idiotic stuff was written by the same morons that did 
the integration of features in Windows... lol
