Not quite following what you are trying to do. Please give us more details on your setup and we'll go from there.

Are you trying to pass the internet connection from the wireless connection to the wired connection? Why not just run a line to the Xbox?

If you must, you can try to bridge the connections (wired/wireless) and set it up that way.

Here is a good link.

You can also just google windows xp bridge and come up with lots of tutorials.

sorry...wasn't thinking. You can use the bridge to make your laptop a wireless access point, not the other way around. Linksys makes a wireless 'game adapter' specifically for what you are trying to do.
Check it out at linksys.com
