    This may seem like a stupid question, but I am wondering if there is a way in OS X to use a MB as wireless hub? Basically, I need to hook up my xbox to the web, but don't want to buy the wireless adapter. I want to know if I could plug the xbox into the MB and then use the MB to connect the xbox to the internet.

    I can at least give you a start. Go to System Preferences-->Sharing-->Internet. That may work. I am not sure the exact way to set it up, but if it is possible it would be from this pane. Good luck! HTH!

    yep, cashmonee is right with where it was setup. you can share the mb's wireless connection through the ethernet connection.
