my xbox slim was doing the same thing, i found out that when i plug my hd lead in and try connecting it tells me to plug in wirless adapter, but when i plug in the normal xbox scart lead that comes with it it connects to the wifi straight away every time. try it and if it works for you then the fix i found for mine should work on yours, the hd unit has become faulty shorting out the wifi module temporarily, the fix is: plug in the hd lead in turn on the xbox then try it, when it says to plug in wifi adapter press the power button on the front of the xbox so its turned off then unplug the power lead and hd lead from the back, plug the power lead in and turn the xbox on then quickly plug the hd lead in and thats it ure good to go, it will show up the wifi, so anytime it does it again jus follow this fix. i think its a fault that happens to the hd port after all the time of using it, plugging it in and out, because the hdmi leads carry a small electric current in them so if you mess with it too much while the xbox and tv are on u will get a lil spark and it can cause ure xbox to red ring but if that ever happens just turn off xbox plug in the hd lead and then turn it back on and it will be fine. let me know if this works for you . thanks. danny - sane.21@hotmail.com
