Home Networking - "Network from a network"

[.:Mammoth261:.]

Hey, I have very little knowledge when it comes to networking, and all the google searches I do bring me information which I really don't understand. Basically I have my xbox 360 in my room, along with a computer. Now I don't want to go out and pay £60 for a wireless adapter really >.< So I was wondering if it's possible to connect my xbox to my PC via LAN and allow for my xbox to connect to the internet through that.

My problem is i can't use ICS because my internet is already coming wirelessly from my router downstairs.

Here's the set up:

Router(Dowsnstairs) ------> PC(room) --------> Xbox360(connected via lan)

Any information you could give me would be appreciated, even if it's a straight out 'no its not possible'. But who knows? If it is possible, how?

Thanks all =]

your best bet would be something like this:-

It allows you to connect your 360 to a wireless network without a wireless adapter on your xbox 360. The network extender should be cheaper than the xbox wireless addon.
