Hey guys,

Got a new networking scenario that I could use some help with. I have a Wireless network that I use to share internet to my laptop and another pc. I also have an older xbox that I want to connect to the internet. I don't have a crossover cable or the tools to make one (maybe i should put that on my xmas list lol), but i do have an extra old linksys 100/mb router laying around. I was wondering if I could connect my router to the NIC on my wireless PC and then connect the xbox to the router to access the internet.

I would bridge the connection between the wireless network card and the wired nic card. Anyone with experience or knowledge that could help out, I'd really appreciate it.
