I'm staying in a hotel that offers wifi only. I'm too cheap to buy the $100 wifi dongle for my Xbox. Is it possible to connect Xbox to Macbook via ethernet or any other method and use the wifi from Macbook to connect Xbox online? That would be cool if that's possible. Thanks for the help :)

Click to expand...

Let's see... I've never done this, but I think I know how... wait, wifi only? what hotel? you brought your xbox? off topic.

Try this. Go to system preferences. Hit network. Connect laptop via wifi, and then go to sharing and turn on internet sharing. To do that, click on that item in the sidebar and make sure it is set to FROM AirPort TO Ethernet. I think that's all!
