My pc is running on a wireless card. Just for fun I am hooking my 360 up to my pc monitor. Since I don't have a wireless card for the 360, I was thinking of just connecting the pc and 360 together with an ethernet cable. Will doing this allow me to get onto xbox live? GeekSquad said it would but it's a pain in the ass (assumably to configure).

lol search youtube and you'll find maybe 12 or 15 videos teaching you how to configure it. It's really not that hard.

hook up your ethernet cable from your computer to your xbox, then go to your
Start Menu--->Control Panel--->Network Connections.

Right click your wireless network and go to Properties.

Go to the Advanced Tab

You will see Internet Connection Sharing

Then click the box that says "Allow other users to connect through this computers internet connection"

I think that's all you need, try it out and let me know.

Did that... no biggie, but no dice. Should I reboot everything (modem, router, pc, and xbox)?

Some tell you to use a crossover cable, some tell you to bridge connections. I think i'll try it for you when i get home and see if i have any problems. You don't need to reset anything.

Did you run the network test on your 360?

Shortly after I replied I got it working... THX

Next question lol... My monitor has 2 inputs. The 360 is on VGA and the pc is on DVI, both working great. Is there a way to switch between the to sources without buying a "switcher box". Kinda a pain in the as to keep pulling plugs on the monitor.

Some monitors have a switch build in. You will have to break the male code and pull out the instruction manual.
