Xbox Wireless Receiver

i'm in college and i have a computer with a wirless connection. Can I connect an XBox 360 to a wireless network without having to buy the Xbox wireless receiver ?

Yes.
Using a crossover ethernet cable, connect the xbox 360 with your wireless computer.
From there, go into your connections (For my XP it's: Start->Connect To->Show all connections) and right click on your wireless network connection.
Go to properties and go to the 'advanced' tab. Check off the box that says 'Allow other network users to connect through this computer's internet connection.
Cick ok and restart your computer (this is a safety precaution, I didn't reboot mine and it worked fine).
Connect to XBOX Live and you're done.
Good Luck!

Just an overview of my new wireless receiver for windows so I can use my XBOX 360 Wireless Control on the pc for Racing Games. Also I wasn't ...

I wanted to know, before I reinstall all of my Sims games onto my computer, if it's possible to use the wireless receiver [USB] for the XBOX controller to play The Sims 2?

Has anybody tried this yet?

No, you can't. I've tried to. The Sims for the PC is a mouse and keyboard controlled game.

I already have a Linksys wireless router. Can I get a Linksys (or other USB receiver) or do I have to buy the XBox one. (XBox is twice the price).

Jeffrey C. is right. Get a game adapter/bridge (I've used linksys in the past and was happy) and you can get one for around $30 now. The MS one is more of a plug and play, whereas the linksys will take some monkeying around to set up, but it's also about $70 cheaper.
