Connect PC to Internet via XBOX 360

Is it possible to connect a PC to the internet via a XBOX 360.

The setup would be as follows:

Virgin Media Superhub
XBOX 360 connects to this wirelessly
I connect a cable from the PC to the XBOX 360 and that means the PC can access the net?

Thats my assumption - is that possible, if so, is it as easy as I put?

Cheers,

No, but why? Use a switch.

It wont work natively.

Better idea:

Virgin SH -> Powerlines -> Router -> XBox 360 + PC via wired/wireless

Or even better get one of those things that gets the wireless signal and has Ethernet ports always forget the technical term

Well perhaps not better but surely power lines to router is going to cripple?

It's working fine for me. The SH2 is on the other side of the flat from my room, so using a 500mb kit and a cheap router, and I'm getting the max 60mb Virgin speed with low latency on all my devices.

Cheers for the replies.

The only reason I asked is my wireless adaptor is playing up and I cant go wired due to my hub being downstairs. However my Xbox is upstairs and I wondered if it would work if it had connection.

Just a cheap way of not having to buy another adaptor as I find them flimsy and always breaking!

Get home plugs then... Modem > Router > Homeplug | Homeplug > Switch > Profit?!?!
