X Box to PC Network Question

My set up is

Router
¦
¦
¦
Wi-Fi Access point
¦
¦
PC

I'd like to add my X Box to the bottom of that chain. I can FTP to the
X Box but how do I give it internet access ?

I have tried setting Internet sharing on the PC LAN card. This cuts
off internet access to the PC through the Wi-Fi

I have bridged the LAN and Wi-Fi this also cuts off any internet
access to the PC

Any ideas.

I will get a hub in a few weeks but I thought there might be a temp
solution until then.

Thanks

I guess the top line represents a wired link and the bottom a wireless one.
Right?

You need to enable sharing on the interface that connects to the Internet.
If you lost connectivity, you didn't, or something else is wrong. Try
disabling any firewall on the machine.

It shouldn't, but you're not the first person to say that and I understand
there are some issues with bridges involving wireless connections.
Bridging - if it works as it should - is the best solution.

The only other solution is to use normal routing. This may be better than
using ICS, but is relatively complex to set up and your router must support
custom static routes for it to be possible.
