Ok, I have a Wireless 54 Mbps router upstairs in Bedroom A, which has the internet. I also have other computers on that same floor connected wirelessly. Now, the thing is, I have a laptop with a wifi Card (Lucent Orinoco Gold), and an xbox downstairs. Is there a way I can connect the xbox to the internet, thru the laptop. So, it will go to a crossover cable from xbox to laptop, then laptop will act as a bridge to connect to the wireless AP upstairs. I have tried the ICS, but never seems to work. Thanks.

i would suggest you purchase a wireless gaming adapter.im sure you can get that from your local computer store.that gaming adapter would connect wirelessly to your router and then feed the xbox thru ethernet connection.
