Hi, I am trying to set up a network bridge for my 360 so I can bridge in various games, but first am wondering if this would work.

I have 2 ethernet ports in my PC. One is currently unoccupied, and the other one contains a wireless adapter that connects to my router. If I connect my 360 to my spare ethernet port via crossover cable and my PC is connected to the internet via wireless router (there is NO ethernet cord connecting my PC to my router, they are connected wirelessly,) would I still be able to bridge?

What I was considering trying was connecting my 360 to my PC via crossover cable, then using Zonealarm and adding the XBOX Live IPs and trusting them, and then going into My Network Connections and selecting the wireless connection and the connection associated with the 360, selecting both, and bridging them...

does this sound like it would work??? Thanks
