Using laptop as a bridge between ethernet and wireless

Is it possible to connect my Xbox to my laptop via ethernet, connect my laptop to a wireless access point, and somehow bridge the connections so that I can indirectly connect my Xbox to the internet? I know that I can buy a wireless to ethernet bridge from DLink or Linksys, but at the moment that isn't possible. My laptop is currently connected to the internet wirelessly (no hardwire where i am) and I tried to connect the ethernet cable from the laptop to my Xbox, enable the connection, and bridge it with the wireless connection, but my Xbox is receiving no signal through the cable. Please help:confused: Thanks

If you are using a USB wireless adapter, bridging will probably not work. Otherwise, it should work.

With bridging or with ICS you need to use a cross-over cable unless either ethernet port is auto-sensing (MDI/MDIX).
