Xbox LIVE

I wasent sure where to post this..


But basically I am going to buy an xbox 360 to play live with all my mates and I have a computer in my room with wireless with a wireless usb connector thing, What I was wondering is if I still plug a ethernet cable from my computer running the wireless (with the wireless still running) to the xbox 360 Will it still work?

If it doesn't I am going to have to run a cable through the roof me thinks.

You can definitely do this. You would need to turn on Internet connection sharing on your wireless connection which would share the connection to the ethernet port and allow your pc to act as the DHCP server to the BOX. I myself run a network like this - 'borrowing' internet from across the street to wireless laptop, ICS turned on on wireless network, ethernet port plugged into our wireless router, our wireless router serving other pc's and the BOX.

Oh and by the way - Internet connection sharing can be pretty iffy - if at first you don't succeed, do everything again exactly the way you did it before....eventually it'll work for you.
