Hello everyone...
I finally received an Xbox360 today and it's awesome..
However this morning I found myself struggling to get the Xbox online through my computer (not through a router), because I can't access the router directly since it's in another room and I don't have the wireless adapter for the Xbox360. I knew that it could be easily done with a windows XP computer but I, being the proud linux user I am, don't own a single XP computer (only my sister's and I can't touch it without asking her first) and it was a problem for me to get on the internet with it.
I looked all over the Internet to find a solution to my problem and, after looking and trying some guides (like 10-11 guides @_@) I finally found one that works well, so I may as well share it with all of you.
If you follow the link here, it's easily explained how to make your PC a gateway that forwards the connection to the router. To connect your Xbox with it, after having done what is said in the guide, just plug the Xbox360 Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port in your computer that is set as a Gateway access. Then your Xbox should have no problems getting on the internet without having to buy some fancy stuff ^^
