this is what i would think- where you use the pc's ip as the gateway ip on your xbox.

make a pppoe that is shared (ICS) and when you want the xbox to be connected dial the pppoe and then just switch on the xbox.

thanks for the reply so u saying on the xbox u set the gateway ip as the pcs ip.... i want to avoid using the dial up pppoe will i NEED to do the dial up pppoe or will the gateway in the xbox work?

Could he not just bridge the connection between the wireless and wired on his pc and then plug is xbox in to his pc with a lan cable? Therefore connecting the xbox straight to the router in a sense?

there is always this option

yeah a good question please let us know if you bridge a connection if it will work and would you need a crossover cable. trying to figure out the actually meaning of bridging a connection

i was wondering about that option, not sure if it would work

I reckon the bridging option should work fine, but you'll probably have to mess around with it for a bit to get it to work.
Alternatively, get a Wireless Access Point that can do WDS with his ADSL router, then plug the Xbox and PC into that.
Edit: Oh, that's what that link was about (from Necuno). Well there you go then.
