Okay, so I've got a laptop that runs Windows XP, and I'm trying to bridge a
wireless connection (SBC through a 2wire router) to my Xbox 360... But yet
for some odd reason, my laptop seems to recognize the 360 as just a
connection to the LAN... And even then, it says that I've only got a limited
connection... I tried bridging it anyways, but that just ended up making it
to where I couldn't connect to the internet OR Xbox live....

Any ideas on how to set my computer straight on this....?

You have to give the to second network card and the X-Box a static IPs that
are on another subnet than the Wireless subnet. and then Bridge (Providing
that the OS on the laptop support Bridging).
This page describes a different Bridged networks, but the principle can be
extrapolated for your topology.
