My debian testing box is upstairs and has an installed and configured wireless ethernet card, wlan0. It also has a built in ethernet card, eth0. I want to play xbox live upstairs and would like to just run the ethernet cable from my xbox to my computers eth0... so basically i need my box to route the internet from the wireless card to the eth0 card. I thought I followed these instructions:

but the xbox still wont connect. My /etc/network/options looks like:
" GNU nano 1.3.11 File: interfaces
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
"
Im not worried about security or anything all I want is the darn xbox to connect. I know this shouldn't be so hard... Could someone who has set up their box as a router give me some help? Thanks!
