    Ok, I presume you have your broadband hooked up to your laptop.

    If thats the case you need to se-up internet connectiom sharing, and use your Xbox ethernet cabale to hook the xbox into the Laptop.

    This link should help

    http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/connecttolive/xbox360/connectionmethods/windowsics-internalmodem.htm

    Also if you have any firewall software (other than windows own one), you may need to enable ports or allow the IP address of your Xbox out through the firewall.

    You should be able to google what you need.

    Sorry, not exactly for idiots, but theres a little bit of work involved with that type of set-up :D:D:D

    ***

    The simplest way to connect is to plug the Ethernet cable from the xbox, directly into the broadband modem. Note: with this method, you may need to set the firewall on your broadband modem to the Low setting, I had to with my eircom netopia router.

    Hope it helps.
