networking troubles

[Algor]

i'll just keep this short. does anyone know how to create a setup like this?

more specifically, how do I just share the connection of the computer with the 360? the pc connecting to the 360 is the "media pc" (just a standard pc for movies and stuff), and has a wireless network card, and a ethernet card. i have shared the ethernet connection on the media pc / 360 connection, but then neither connection works. in order to bridge the wireless and LAN connections on that pc, neither of them can be sharing a connection, which is what seems like i have to do... erk.

i could just run a ethernet cable from my 360 directly to my modem, but meh, that's a cable going across the floor that i don't want. but at this rate, that's may what it have to come to.

I don't even have that ugly pc!

contact xbox user service

maybe you need to make both types of connections available.

contacting service places will help you up until the point where "network" is mentioned, then they say "uhh.. i can no longer help you"

Solution 1 (the simplest): Get a wireless router wireless router+modem combo, plug it in next to your 360, run a short cable to your 360, and let your computers attach wirelessly. $40-80

Solution 2 (the most expensive): Get a Xbox 360 Wireless modem. $99

Solution 3 (the chepest, but probably prone to more failure): Get a crossover cable and connect your PC and XBox. That should form a mini LAN and share the internet connection from the PC unless the 360 doesn't like it. 50/50 shot on that working. I have no idea what the 360's proprietary stuff is like.

Solution 1 is the smart way to go. Solution 3 is most closely to what you described, but also really ghetto.

Solution 4: Mojo and I play with cables.

I vote for ghetto option.

shoot, i do have a wireless router already that i never set up because our modem is wireless... may have to explore that option.
