    1stly, make sure you have a Cross-Over network cable. The normal network cables will not work.

    2ndly, Enable ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) on your PC. This will automaticaly give your PC an IP of 192.168.0.1 and will also act as an DHCP server giving your XBox an IP.

    Hope this helps :)
