    Xbox 360 Online VIA PC

    I have a Win 2k PC which is on a wireless network serving ADSL broadband to my house. All i want to know is can i connect the XB360 to my PC via crossover cable, and then reroute via my pc to the adsl connection? So far i havent had much luck but networking is not my strong point.

    Anyone got any ideas?

    Why dont you use a wireless adapter? I heard someone used a linksys USB wireless adapter with his 360 and it worked (if you don't want the expensive Microsoft one) but obviously I can't guarantee that it will do the same for you.

    There should be an option to share the Internet connection, possibly under the options for the connection, or you may have to set up another network on the wired card.
