360 to pc ethernet connection help
Okay, I have windows XP, xbox 360. I have free city wireless internet, no router/modem. I wanted to know if there is a way to bridge the connection from my pc to my 360 using an ethernet cable.

Yeah it's actually pretty easy. You need a crossover cable. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
Once you have a crossover cable you simply have to go into your internet options and bridge between your wireless connection and the Ethernet connection to share internet, and your computer should at that point act like a router. You will have to have your computer on to get internet through the xbox, but other than that it's all good. Cheaper than investing in a wireless adapter for xbox. But it also might be slower, the bridge is a software bridge, not a hardware bridge. Doing lots of stuff on your computer or using the internet on both could slow them both down a good bit (like say playing a game on the computer and using netflix at the same time on the xbox). Depends on your setup for that one.
