Does anyone know how I can link my internet connection from my C2D MB to connect to my XBOX 360 premium?

Let's ask in the right forum, shall we? This has nothing to do with which Mac you have. It's called "internet sharing" and it's done through the AirPort software on your Mac...

Okay so I looked at the site and it worked smoothly until the part where i got to configure the built-in-ethernet.
I put in the IP address and Subnet Mask manually to match the one the poster listed. When I test xbox live it failed on the IP Address. It did not even get to the DNS. I got a weird popup on my mac saying "configuration in use" or something. Any ideas?

If that didn't work perfectly, then I'm out of my depth. My son's 360 plugs into a wired router, so it's never been a problem. I ALWAYS recommend a router over Internet Sharing for a number of reasons, and the complexity of setting up sharing is one big one.

It should be pretty straightforward. You can manually configure the 360's network settings, so just set 'em to match what the MacBook dishes out. You may need to look into the DNS addresses the MacBook (or your router) is using. Isn't a MacBook a pretty expensive WiFi adapter? Just sayin'...

Indeed it is. I am at a college though, therefor I can not use my 360 wireless adapter since the network has mad safe security. How to I figure out my DNS? and other such important info?
