    Yes you can. You would utilize a feature in windows called "Internet Connection Sharing" The steps are confusing to list here, and it is better to use the Wizard to perform it anyway.

    To get to the instructions on the computer, click start, then "help and Support". Search for "ICS" (The acronym for Internet Connection Sharing)

    Then select "Enable Internet Connection Sharing on a network connection" and follow the steps. You would connect the Xbox by using the ethernet port on your PC and the xbox would share the PC Wireless.

    Good luck!
