BoT

for direct link that would be correct but i am not quiet seeing why one would do that.

maybe i should have asked. are you trying to directly connect the xbox to the lappy or just want to establish a network connection to get the xbox online?

eitherway, there is nothing you can do with a direct link that you wouldn't be able to do with ICS. please correct me if i am wrong.
=| i have wii, no xbox, no pro in this scenario
