Hi,

I've been trying to get xbox live working through lion ever since I installed it yesterday. So far, I have got it to the point where is connects to the network, resolves dns, but it cant connect to the internet. This use to work FINE with snow leopard.

Any help would be appreciated.

I am having exact same problem. I even used a second MBP that was running snow leopard and tested it with the exact same settings, and it worked. Lion is breaking internet sharing somehow.
 
Do the above.

Then go to your firewall settings in prefs and enable 'internet sharing' as an allowed connection.

Just worked for me after pulling my hair out.
