I assume for the reminder of the post that whatever that device is it has DHCP server (don't worry if you don't know what that is).

The simplest and cheapes way is to get a network switch something like this Newegg.com - NETGEAR FS105 10/100Mbps Desktop Switch 5 x RJ45 1,000 MAC Address Table 64KB Buffer Memory - Switches or if you want wireless then something like this should do Newegg.com - LINKSYS WAP54G Wireless-G 54Mbps Access Point - Wireless AP / Bridges. A wireless setup is slightly more hazzle than wired but nothing to worry about.

Hope this is of some help.

This is unnecessarily complex because the OP only needs a box to connect 2 wired devices (360 and a PC) and to broadcast wirelessly for 1 device (laptop). What Martian said is the best, just get a wireless router.

I suggest anything Linksys, but I've heard good things about many other brands too.

As far as it having to be draft-N like Martian said, I don't think that's completely necessary for a normal user. You can just get a regular 802.11g wireless router and be fine.
