Share XP network connection without restart?

Share XP network connection without restart? I have my xbox360 connected to my laptop-docking-station with a plain old network cable. The laptop itself is connected to my home network via wifi. Now i've set up the windows network so that the laptop is sharing it's internet connection over the lan port so the xbox can connect to the internet.

"""the connection cannot be used again until i restart windows""

Can you be more specific? I assume the network shows as connected, but you cannot get internet. What's result of pinging google?

Try

ipconfig /release *
ipconfig /renew
