you will want to enable internet connection sharing and plug the xbox into your laptop with a MDI/MDX port or a crossover cable. then share the internet on your laptop wifi with your copper connection to the xbox.

A cross-over is a cat 5, except the 'correct' wires are reversed, or 'crossed-over', enabling the two pieces to communicate. You should be able to pick up a crossover about anywhere they sell cat 5.

or if your laptop is made in the last 2 years it likely comes with a port that will auto cross over for you. plug your laptop and xbox into each other with a network cable and if you get green lights for the link then your ready to rock.

crossover cables typically are red jacket so look for them in the store.
