To be honest you wont be able to.

Even forwarding ports on your router wont solve it, basiclly your being NAT'd twice so is hard/impossible to get a open NAT when using your macbook to connect your 360 to the internet.

On a plus side medium NAT isn't to bad, you'll be able to find a decent amount of games just may struggle connecting to some friends.
