Well, with Vista, my set up was...slightly Ghetto,

I was taking the modem, getting that wireless to my laptop, and sharing that through Ethernet cable to my Xbox,

Where do I go on my computer to get/ Can I get the same thing going on PCLinuxOS?

Black_Elite, please don't keep creating new threads for every question. If you're going to have a lot of questions like this, try to keep them to a single thread from now on.

Just keep all future questions to this post, if you're going to have many more.

So it's fair enough to try to answer his question?

You're turning your laptop into a wireless router. Assuming you've got your wireless up, it shouldn't actually be terribly difficult. (For the record, while I've built several Linux router boxes, I've never done wireless on the routing box, however, it's just another interface as far as the OS is concerned, so I don't anticipate any big troubles).

You will need iptables, and the appropriate kernel hooks (they're probably included by default). You'll want to know some details about how Live works, since I don't know if you need to forward any ports to the X-Box or not. I doubt it, but I don't know, so I figure it's best to ask.

First things first, what are the names to your interfaces? I'm guessing eth0 for your wired ethernet, but I'm not as confident on your wireless. Mine's wifi0, but yours could be different, depending on your driver setup.

Also, how does your X-Box get an IP address? Is it defined statically in the X-Box, or do you give it a dynamic IP address? If it's dynamic, you will need dhcpd on the laptop to hand IP addresses out.
