So that i understand. When you go into the properties of your connection there is nothing there about "network sharing"?
Do you show more then one network, like a regular and a LAN?
More info on your connection would also help. Is it direct to a modem or through a router?
If a router did you open up the XBL ports?
Did you make sure you are not being blocked by an anti-virus or windows firewall program?

more information you provide the better the answers will be.
And here is some more info you can read through.

instead of plugging everything into the computer. Head to best buy and pick yourself up a wireless, or wired router and plug everything into it. The linksys befsr41 is a very fast cheap switch, with a minor firewall to that may help you avoid spam attacks. Plug all your ethernets into a switch and stop messing around with a soft switch is my best advice for your situation.

The Linksys WRT54GS is a good and fair priced wireless router that is Xbox Live compatible.

My X360 is Connected to My computer, my computer is connected to an usb internet, it goes through down to my phone jack. im noob at this but the usb connection goes through a little filter thing with 2 plugs in that says phone and modem, its goes through the modem port then its plugged into an extension reel to my phone jack.

OK, so that sounds like a DSL connection that is running USB from the modem to the PC.

Have you, before the format, ever had any other consoles or devices that you hooked to the PC with an ethernet cord that could access the internet?

I know quite a few people have had problems with modems that hook up via USB rather then with an ethernet cable. See if these help:
