Tethering my Xbox 360 to a wireless laptop connection

[tfcmasta97]

Does anyone know how to tether an Xbox 360 to an XP laptop with wireless connection? Would i need a patch cable or crossover ethernet?

I remember finding this on google before within like 30 seconds, and now i havent been able to find it for the past half hour!

Not sure about the cable needs but I know you have to right click on the wireless connection, click properties, and enable internet sharing. With the right cable that should be all you need. You can keep the 360 and LAN adapter to find IPs automatically.

I can't get to most of these from work but here is google results that should get you headed in the right direction.

ICS

You just go to network settings and bridge them? (I think not 100% sure)

I always had problems bridging connections. It's much easier to just turn on the internet connection sharing on your laptop wireless like I said in the first place.
