boxee

I have a MacBook Pro and I'm going to buy a Boxee Box.

I have access to wireless internet, but it's slow and out of my control.

So my question is, what is the best way for both devices to get internet access, and the Boxee Box to get SMB access to the Mac, when only the Mac is connected to the wireless internet?

I'm thinking an ethernet cable from the Boxee Box to my Mac, and connection sharing on my Mac. Can you explain the setup, is there any configuring.
