Duct tape it to a football, and give it to Thierry Henry 😛

We did that at our house just recently. It isn't difficult at all. The thought of tying up a large range of apparent IP Addresses seemed very silly to us, so we installed Net NAT to perform a different kind of concentration. Instead of translating just the IP Address, we also translate the TCP or UDP Port Numbers. These are also called service numbers. In our version of the address translation table, there is only one entry, and that is a single Apparent IP Address. And, instead of a pool of apparent addresses, there is a pool of "Apparent Ports."

So, when a console in the private network initiates a TCP session or a UDP exchange, Net NAT assigns a port from the apparent port pool and then substitutes the apparent address and port for the actual address and port before sending the message to the public network. In a similar way, the apparent address and port in a message from the public network are replaced with the actual address and port before the message is passed to the workstation. The actual addresses may be RFC 1597 private addresses, or someone else's public addresses that were used before a connection to the Public Internet was anticipated, and must be kept to avoid the agony and expense of reconfiguring every computer in the network. This part is actually pretty easy.

The instruction manual should guide you through the rest of the process.

Dyslexia is different to brain cancer.

But stuff the panorama show was talking nonsense anyway.

Would my 360 be able to connect if it is connected to a differnt phone socket than the PC is connected to?

I just asked this very same question a few weeks ago...still haven't gotten it to work.

I've got the wireless adapter on the x-box and a wireless gateway downstairs, but it won't connect. 😕

You can connect them directly with a crossover cable. Or a straight through cable if you are using a router.
