    If you did it with your xbox then you can, for there's no difference of xbox or f3 as a network node. In this case your laptop PC will act like a router. But you have to assume:
    - your laptop must have at least 2 network interfaces connecting with inet (like usb modem) and local network(ethernet port)
    - you may need the cross-linked ethernet cable to connect your pc with your box (pins 1,2 on one end to pins 3,6 on other) for xbox may have auto-mdi interface and f3 box may not.

      Hello

      I thing that using a Usb Wireless WiFi adapter, it's a better solution.
