ok,
go to the control panel:
clic properties on you LAN connection and enable internet sharing.
clic properties on your WIreless connection, then double clic ipv4:
set these parameters:
IP: 192.168.0.1
Subnet: 255.255.0.0
gateway: none.
thats it.
connect you xbox to the wireless connection and test.
Plug a eithernet cord into your computer and your xbox. I forget if you need an eithernet cord or a cross over cable, but it's one of them. Then bridge the connection from your computers wireless Internet to the wired Internet. VA VOOM!
if you are running windows 7, open run, type in ncpa.cpl and select both your wireless connection and your Ethernet connection by dragging a box around them, then right click on one and select bridge connections, this is the most fool-proof way to do it, and won't stop working randomly.
