Networking situation. Solution needed.

I'm presented with a situation I'd like to solve.
Ok, I'll try to make sense with this so bear with me: (written in
Problem
Solution
form
My brother lives above me in our appt building and I'd like to share my Net with him.
That part is easy. Wireless adapter and log onto my network.
We'd also like to hook his XBox up to the same network so I can school him repeatedly.
How can I set up his XBox to my wireless router?
Can I connect his XBox to his computer's network card with cable, bridge the connection to his wireless adapter so that his computer is the passtrough to his XBox?
Hope this is some good practice for you netheads that spleen out there.
Thanks in advance, Mark

Well, I've never tried this kind of setup, but I'll try to give you some advice.
One way:
Connect the Xbox to the PC with a cross-over cable, set the PC's NIC to obtain IP automatically, and make the wireless connection shared.
Another way:
Connect Xbox and PC to a switch, and make the wireless connection shared.

So I place his 2 devices on a router and have that wireless router connect to my wireless router with the internet and just share/bridge that connection?

Ok here's what I was wondering......
Is it possible to bridge the two wireless routers to connect to my cable modem? Should his router go through mine, and if so, how?

Does he already have a wireless router? you didn't mention that before. If he doesn't there is no reason for him to get one to set this up.
Here are diagrams for the setups I mentioned:
1:
Connected with crossover cable, with his wireless adapters connection set as shared, so the xbox shares the PC's connection and get's an IP from the PC.
2:
Better option, connected with a switch, with his wireless adapters connectection set as shared, so the xbox shares the PC's connection ang get's an IP from the PC.
I don't think you want to bridge connections, just use connection sharing.

Ok so he finally got off his ass and actually bought the adapter.
Thing is.....he bought a wireless router that is almost the same as mine.
Is it possible to have a internet connection running into one, and the other tapping in wirelessly to the connected one, like in my first picture?

I'm not sure about this situation, but a little googleing came up with this.
http://www.ivarun.com/2004/06/using-two-wireless-routers-to-set-up.html
There is a pdf document on that page that goes into detail about how to do this.

I scanned that page for info last night as well.
Unfortunatly, backed by the rest of the docs I found, you can't have two routers share a signal unless you have a repeater or a wireless bridge. Both of these are extra pieces of hardware.
So we're still in the original 30day return period and he's just going to have to get a wireless adapter.
I still don't know why he got the wireless router when I told him to get the adapter in the first place.
