Using ICS, 802.11G and XBOX Live, is it possible?

[ScissorClaw]

I just got XBOX live for XMAS and am trying to figure out a way to set it up with my cable modem. Unfortunately my cable modem is upstairs and the best option (and costliest) is to have the cable company come and rewire for the modem to be downstairs by the XBOX. Easy and clean.

However, I already have my house wired for 802.11G. I also have an extra NIC card in one of my rigs by my XBOX downstairs. Since the rig already has a 802.11G card, I figured I'd be able to plug the XBOX into the xtra NIC and get my connection that way by employing ICS. What does everybody think? Possible or not?

i think they sell a wireless adptor for the xbox. that should be plug and play..

Good idea, gee, I never would have thought of that. I'm trying to NOT spend money when I can do it for free.

Don't get bent when people try to help.... and to do it you prolly need two cards for your computer and turn ICS on or some configuration to that nature so either way you will spend money... my advice just run 50-100' of Cat5 and hide it along floor board or roll up when not in use....


much cheaper to go that way.

Yeah, especially if you use GS arcade.

I'd go with cat5.
