Get a network card for your PC. Shouldn't be too expensive.

Get a long enough ethernet cable.

Connect ethernet cable to the ethernet port on your network card and plug the other end into your Xbox. Make sure you're connected to the net and switch on your Xbox. It should auto-detect settings.

If you've got a free ethernet slot on your PC, you obviously wont need to buy another network card.

The ethernet cable should be 'Crossover' not 'Straight'.

TESCO even have a mobile phone network, probably meaning you can only get a signal in and around tesco.
