Answer 1

i got the wireless setup with my 360 to my PC that has wireless because my router is far away. anyways heres what you do.

1) connect the ethernet from your 360 to your laptop/PC that has a working wireless internet connection

2) you should enable (if not already) your Local Area Connection

3) Right click, properties for your Wireless Network Connection and go to Advanced tab

4) CHECK: Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection

5) It should pretty much work. Your laptop must be on and have a working internet connection and then you turn on your 360, it'll connect as your Local Area Connection and it should work

** I just read your post and you didn't say anything about Xbox 360, just Xbox, but im sure it'll work..same basic concept. Sorry if it doesn't **

Umm, you have to hook up the Xbox to either a router or modem, not your laptop.
