Networking Question: Media Sharing

Hey guys I was wondering if anyone could help me out with a question. I downloaded Windows Media Player 11 on my laptop so I can now stream my media to my xbox 360. This much works fine.. no problems. I have a desktop PC with alot of good movies on it so I got a crossover cable and connected it to my laptop with sharing enabled. What I'm finding is I can't be on the wireless network and have my local area network connection working at the same time. Is this simply the case, you can't do both? I am not to familiar with networking.. Is there anyway I can make this work?
 
Just make a persistent route to that ip address by using the "route" command. Just tell it to route packets for the desktop to the wired interface. Should be easy.

No. I only have one Ethernet cable (four roommates each have a router port..) Sot the xbox 360 have the hard connection, my laptop has the wireless connection, and my desktop is connected to the laptop via USB.
