So I want to connect the xbox 360 with the crossover cable to my laptop which is connected to my wireless network.



Thanks, TJ
get a simple wifi network adaptor, gaming adaptor, 802.11 g is the one you need. That will hookup to the ethernet port on the 360. these can be had for about 40-60$. Your xbox won't know the differance.
