I use ICS (internet connection sharing) for xbox live through my pc...not the best way admittedly but, hey it works.

I can't remember mate off the top of my head, sounds like you're in the right area, though I had a bit of trouble with my firewall too (zonealarm)

Theres a guy on here that has a website that tells you all about it, follow this link below:

Try FAQs, there's one on there for ICS, should do the trick.

Zonealarm needs to be set at medium security level in order for it to pass the info, I did run ICS for a while and then moved to a wired router.

Yep, spot on mate!

Or specifically allow the ports that xbox requires in zonealarm (or other firewall) on your trusted zone.

You can find the ports used on Xbox live website.
