about 5 month back i had my computer conected to my home network via wireless dongle and then an ethernet cable conecting my xbox 360 to my wireless pc so that i could use the computers wireless conection to conect my xbox to the internet for xbox live.

i was hoping this could also be done to conect a second computer to my wireless computer so both computers have access to the internet but cant for the life of me remember how i did it before with my xbox and computer could anyone help me with this by telling me what ip, gateway, subnet and dns settings i should use.

if it makes a difference i am useing windows 7 x64 ultimate edition.

thanks in advance

Create a network bridge

I'm not sure if or how that warning at the bottom applies to you but to do this with 2 devices you'll probably need a router (wired or wireless) which would connect to your first computer. The xbox and the second computer would connect to the router. I'm not sure if a switch would work because I haven't done a bridge with 2 devices sharing the bridge.

my first computer is connected to a router via wireless dongle i want to connect my second computer to the first one via ethernet and share the internet connection

So it's just the second computer and not the xbox? Either way you still bridge the connections. Did you even read the article?
