btw ICS = internet connection sharing, that is my fault - had a brain fart then

You are correct, you can't use a router with that setup since you don't have a broadband modem. I assume you have an ethernet connection available on your computer so what you would need to do is:

Connect the xbox via the ethernet port. I believe you will need a cross-over cable, but I may be wrong and need a straight through.

Set up ICS

What ICS does is turns your computer into 'a router' by setting up your internet connection for other machines.

Note that ICS in the past can be a pain in the behind so be prepared for some connection issues, as you are using the mobile connection, speeds may not be sufficient enough to use xbox live.
