is there a way to get live through a laptop?

i have a laptop that gets wireless internet in my house, so is there a way i could hook up my 360 to that and b able to play live? i dont want to run a wire to the router and im not buyin the wireless thing for $100

You should be able to run an ethernet cable from your 360 to your laptop, and use the laptop to connect wirelessly to your router. Look on xbox.xom for ICS (Internet Connection Sharing). There are different things to do depending on if you are using XP or VistaAvenger1324

I run my 360 off my laptop too.

Its just as easy as using the network wizard and setting you laptop up as a lan. Make sure your LAN is enabled on the connection tab and run a cable from the 360 to the laptop.

i plugged it in through my laptop, and now i cant find anything to make it connect, how can u make the computer share the internet? i have vista on myh laptop. it wont find the ip addressbssauter13

Go into the control panel. Goto Network settings. Use the wireless setup wizard. Set it to use your PC as a lan.

Then make sure LAN is enabled on your connect menu.

You're good to go. You wont have to worry about ports or anything else.

i was also wondering since i bridged the connections, is the only way i can get on the internet through my laptop i have to have my 360 plugged into it?bssauter13

sounds about right. or move your 360 to were your modem is located and plug directly into it.

I have had to test my connection every time I play. And you can always have internet on your laptop. When its plugged in.tinkles87

so in order to get internet through my laptop i have to have my 360 plugged into it? wat happens when i go to my cousins house n take my laptop? i cant get on the internet because my 360 isnt plugged into it?

similar question = i have 3 mobile broadband ( the thing where u dont need a land line for the internet ) am i right in sayin that to play xbox live i will need to do similar to what you suggested ^^

thanks :D
