you should be able to. you have to go into system preferences then sharing then hit the little internet tab. then check the box by airport and you should be putting out airport. you just need to get a wireless adapter for the 360

I don't know if they built in airport puts out a very good signal if it does at all. The best thing to do would be to get a an actual airport or airport extreme and hook that up and you'll probably get a much better signal.

no.
the airport you have is just the fancy name for "wireless reciever". it wont transmit your internet connection, unless like he ^^ said you share your internet connection, which is fucking slow. you actually need a wireless router (airport express, extreme, D-LINK, linksys, etc) in order to connect your imac wirelessly (with the "airport card"), and maybe then when you have your wireless network you'll be able to connect to xbox live...but i know squat about xboxes, so i cant help you with that.

This is the truth. And to expound upon something fun I learned playing iwth my parents Imac, you can actually share internet connections between a computer with a connection and one without a connection as long as you know the password and are on the same network or within bluetooth range of the internet connected computer.
