Bridging an xbox connection?!?!?!

[Brazo]

Having recently bought a new telly I have moved the old set to another room and stuck the xbox underneath it. Running an ethernet cable to other room isn't especially practical so...

Before I spunk £50 on one of those wifi adapter thingies I have read I can connect my xbox via an ethernet cable to my laptop and run it off the laptops wifi?? Incidentally its a half decent laptop with a fast wifi card and its fine for PC online gaming in wireless.

Will this work?

I tried this years ago (when the 360 first came out), and from what I remember it was a total ball ache and didn't work properly. I ended up just buying the wifi adaptor. A lot easier.

Sorry I'm not much more help.

I just did this as i was in exactly the same position. Works great!

Use ICS and it does work but when I did it (years ago) the NAT on the Xbox was always set to medium so could have issues hearing people and getting in rooms. Not sure if they ever fixed that but loads of guides.
