I'm guessing your connection is broadband else you wouldn't be thinking about the Xbox.

Anysway, I've got a ADSL connection using a router. The router plugs into the main PC using the USB connection, and connects to a wireless transmitter that our laptops access it by and it works a treat.

Not as fast as wired, but at 10Mb/s it's still about 20 times faster than the average broadband connection so clearly fast enough.
Then you can just get a wireless thingamy for your PC and your Xbox.
Infact, once you've got a router connecting you to the internet, you won't need to have a PC on, just connect a device to your Xbox allowing it to connect to the router and you're good to go Live. :-)
