NAT problems with xbox live (Xbox 360)?

My xbox 360 is able to connect to live without any problems, however as my NAT (Network Address Translation) is set as Strict, I'm having problems playing games like GTA4 and PGR4 online.

I think the problem is the way I've set up my connection, but this was the only way to get onto xbox live without buying extra equipment.
I have the computer setup downstairs connected to the BTHomeHub through the Ethernet port.

I have my wireless laptop upstairs, which is sharing the
connection (using ICS Internet Connection Sharing) with the Xbox 360 through another Ethernet cable

If anyone is using a simliar connection, please tell me if this connection works,

I have opened up ports on the BThomehub and the firewall. but nothing works, as I still get the "Strict" message on the NAT connection.

there i have the same thing i have a wireless laptop i can take it anywhere and i bought the 500 feet ethernet cable and then i took my laptop to the room of my 360 and i took the 25 feet and put it on to my laptop and my 360 and it worked lol so simple do it u have a wireless laptop so go buy a ethernet cable and do it….i earn the best answer ..
