You need to purchase the xbox wireless adapter.

It is possible to connect the xbox to your computer but you would need to set up internet connection sharing on your pc and use what's called a crossover cable. This is not a standard cat5 cable. You could pick one up at a computer shop though.

The xbox wireless adapter is the much simpler way to go
