Well i am leaving the house December 26 and where i am going will have Wifi. Can someone provide me with a link so i can hook my 360 up to my laptop and get on Live that way?

Such as plugging the Ethernet cord from my laptop to 360 and then connecting my laptop to the wifi and playing from there.

I can't find mine but I would try a wireless Xbox adapter. I will look for it hopefully I or someone that reads this can get you a solid answer in time.

If you are running XP you can try this link:

just set up a local are network connection to your laptop, once your connected to an internet provider on your laptop all you have to do is plug in your ethernet cord from your xbox to your laptop and you have it working.... Thats how my girlfriend does it.

I've never did it but you can look up on google like How to set up a bridge connection or something. I've personally never did it but if you have vista it should be fairly easy and automatic.

You want to set up a WiFi connection to your 360? I guess its the same as setting it up for the Wii.
I just had a Wireless Connection that my Wii received from my Router.

Sort of similar...cept the 360 doesnt have an internel wifi card. So he would have to purchase a wireless adapter for $100. But he doesnt want to go that route...he wants to plug in the ethernet cord to his computer from his xbox and receive the signal on his computer which then gets transmitted thru the ethernet to his xbox. He pretty much answered his own question tho.

Yea I just remembered that.. the 360 doesn't have the internal wireless network adapter, you gonna shove out the $100 or are you close enough to your router to connect your 360 with an Ethernet cable?
