I take it you have you broadband plugged into the usb port on your laptop? If so you buy a crossover network cable and setup internet connection sharing.

ethernet cable will not work if you are connecting the laptop directly to the xbox. you need a crossover cable

the easiest thing to do would be to buy a specific wireless adapter for you xbox so it can connect directly to your wireless router. they are pennies on ebay

nope thats not until november along with some promised hidden features

pretty much most of the xbox community think its 1080p HD support and perhaps a web browser

but im guessing the downtime is to do with whats coming

Why not get the wirless network card plugin for the xbox? then it can connect to your router directly
