Connection Xbox to Internet

**Crilly** · 18th July 2005

The problem i have is that the xbox is down stairs and my comp up, i have been told that i can use my laptop as a bridge, i really need it so i can install games from my comp upstairs to the xbox using Xfer.

Running a cable is not an option due to the size of the castle i live in :whistle

Does anyone know how i would set this up if possible to do.

I presume that i would connect the cable from the xbox into the laptop abd i have a wireless connection from the laptop to my computer via a wireless router, but from here i'm lost as what to do.

Any help would be appreciated.

why not get a wireless adaptor for the xbox, you should be able to connect it to your wireless network that way, no need for the laptop
