Can i ask this here?? Help with getting Xbox on the interweb via my PC?

Hi

I bought an Xbox yesterday, its currently sat next to my PC, my PC is connected to the internet via a wireless connection. Now im not keen to spend £50 on a wireless adaptor for the Xbox, so how can i get my Xbox on the internet via my PC? if this is even possible.

Cheers for the help

do have any ethernet ports on your modem? If not then you either need to spend the £50 on the wireless adapter, or get your self a wireless router they will have ethernet ports.

You can do it with Internet Connection Sharing as long as your router does not use the 192.168.0.x subnet, but it won't work well.
