Internet connection sharing - wifi, Hermes, and Xbox 360 - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

This may seem slightly unusual but I recently bought a wireless adapter for my xbox 360 which for some reason wouldn't connect to my wireless router.
I then decided to connect to my wireless network using my laptop, and then use internet connection sharing with my Xbox 360 to get onto Xbox Live. This worked fine, but having my laptop with leads trailing around is annoying as there isnt much room around my xbox 360.
What I was wondering though is could I connect to my wireless network with my Hermes and use some kind of internet connection sharing app to share internet with my Xbox 360 using the Hermes USB cable?
If somebody knows how to do this then please share your knowledge! Thanks!

My USB wifi adapter is kaput. I would like to save some bucks and not have to buy another one.
So, I would like my Sprint TP2 to connect to my hotels wifi and then allow my laptop/desktop to connect to my TP2 via USB or Bluetooth and access the internet.
I thank you for your time in advance!

Connecting PS3 through wifi hotspot with tethering DHD to laptop?

I have a USB dongle which I brought for my laptop, and I have a DHD with my PS3 which is connected to my Sony Bravia 26 inch.
The USB tethering on my DHD works fine and is able to access my PC's internet just fine. If I switch on wifi hotspot on my DHD, my PS3 can recognise the network and connect to it as well.
Can I do a uSB tether to my DHD with my laptop, and then enable wifi hotspot so that my PS3 can access the internet with it? I cannot go in for a 3G plan because here in India, it costs a bomb. My USB dongle costs a bomb too, but Ive already invested in it.
Can someone please tell me how I can do what I wanna do? Thanks in advance

Ethernet via USB on the A500?

Can it be done?
I travel a lot and use my laptop to get the ethernet IP address from my hotel room in order to manually configure my xbox 360's network settings. (I have an older Xbox 360 without wireless).
Since the hotel ip addresses are different for the ethernet connection than the wireless ip's, how can I figure out the ethernet IP using the A500?
The only thing that I can think of is to carry a small wireless router around. As a bonus it would be handy for the hotel that has sporadic wireless coverage.
I have no idea if an ethernet usb dongle stabbed into the A500s side would work.
Good luck.
Yeah. I have been looking into getting a wireless adapter for the 360 but they seem to be very device specific for Microsoft. I did see something that transmits an ethernet signal across your wall's electrical lines. It was about $60 for that kit and the reviews indicated good speeds.
If I had that though, I would still need to figure out the ethernet IP settings somehow. I am trying to figure out a way to leave my laptop at home when I travel now that I have my tab.
Get a cheap router than can run dd-wrt router firmware and set it up an ethernet bridge. Works like a charm for the x-box (or anything needing a wired connection and connecting to wireless).
Just to elaborate where this is going a little better. If you are using your own wireless router (Not an XBox adapter.) you should be able to log into the configuration console of it with your tablet and easily determine the ip of the hotel, internal and external.
I'm not sure what one of those adapters would cost, but the kind of router that AndrewD2 mentioned will run you around 30 bucks and up. His suggestion is awesome and would be a great way for you to use the hotel internet on your XBox even if there is no wired connection.
Hope that helps.
I suggest this
While is a poweline and can work part of a pair, it can also work as stand alone and doesn't need any extra power supply. It's small and u can configur it easily. You plug the eth cable one the cat5 socket and plug the dlink on the electricity socket.
FYI this is what I use.
Just in case someone stumbles upon this thread in search for the solution: here it is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060984 - haven't tested it yet, though.
