Help galaxy s4 usb tether to computer to xbox 360

I'm with T mobile and have the unlimited plan. I have never had a home internet connection because of where I live. I managed to tether my phone to my computer via usb and foxfi/pdanet. But I can't seem to bridge or share the connections between my phones network and the Ethernet cable. I spent hours last night trying to figure out how to get this to work. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
 
I think this is best asked in our Computers & IT sub-forum, as I've a hunch the solution lies in how the PC is configured.

As you have no fixed-line 'net connection, I assume the XBox is connected to the PC via ethernet cable?
 
Hello, I believe I'm in the right place. Im using foxfi/pdanet to connect my galaxy to my windows computer via usb. And I want to hook my xbox up to my computer while still using foxfi, as that program hides usb tether usage. My issue is when I try to bridge the connection between my phones network and the Ethernet cable(which is running to the xbox) pdanet wants me to install a driver otherwise itll disconnect. If I install it'll turn my network into a modem? Which I cant bridge. After countless hours of trying to get this working, ive haf no luck. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
 
You're going to have difficulty with tethering an Xbox and a phone anyway. Because a phone doesn't support UPnP, as the Xbox has to be able to open certain ports on the NAT in order to work on-line. Several other people have reported this recently.

For what you want to do with an Xbox, you'll need something like this....

Then you put your "unlimited plan" SIM in the cellular router.
