I have been around the web looking for infomation about this but have not turned up anything at all.

I do not have internet in my home but I do have a treo 700wx pocket pc provided through my work.
I got a xbox360 for Christmas and have been trying to figure out how I can connect the ppc to the console, or perhaps my ppc to my laptop then to my console, to take advantage of my xbox live membership (mostly to download some free demos). Is this possible? Has anyone attempted anything like this with a cellphone? Any related comments would be appreciated. thanks in advance.

If I have posted this question in the wrong section I apologize.

thanks for the help. Yes, it appears that will work (I will have to try it tonight). Although blue tooth would be ideal for my connection, the xbox360 doesn't recognize it (the ps3 does though). After a little research I have discovered the terms I needed to know in order to turn up helpful results.

So, I want to be able to use a usb adapter attached to the xbox360 instead dragging my laptop and cellphone into the living room to get to xboxlive each time.

Since my phone has windows mobile I can use Microsoft's ICS (internet connection sharing) the guide is here........

also I found information here http://www.podcentral.ph/viewthread.php?tid=4804
that will help me do this wireless-ly by "sort of" converting my laptop into a wireless bridge, providing wifi for the xbox360 to connect to. Too bad this wont work for my ps2 also.
