Make Internet Sharing DHCP work with an Xbox/Xbox 360

I'm talking about the Xbox Live Video Store as well as the Games Downloads. See, due to certain restrictions, citicens of certain countries can't access certain content offered on XBL Marketplace. That's for... uhm.. certain, sorry.

They check two things: Your address, your IP. E.g., if you're a Swiss or British citizen, but happen to live in Germany (and thus connecting via a german provider), you can't access content deemed "unappropriate" for Germans.

Having the Xbox360 connect via a Mac which in turn would connect via a proxy COULD at least give me access to said content. US citizens could use that method to get access to the US Video Store on XBLM.
