How do i set up xbox live through a wirelessly connected laptop,connected with an ethernet from laptop to xbox

OK, i am trying to use xbox live. I call xbox but they just tell me nonsense. I am using windstream for an internet provider, and netgear as a router. i dont know if that info is needed. I am running a wireless internet connection from my router to laptop. I dont have a wireless adapter for my 360 so i have to use an ethernet cable. i know i could use my ethernet cable from my router to xbox 360 but my ethernet cable isnt long enough. I try to connect to xbox live,it says i am wired but my IP address failed. i tried to put in my IP address manually but it still failed so i put everything on automatic but it still fails. So, what do i have to do to get my xbox live working? Do i have to manually put all info in because i am not at home and im not using the same connection. This is at someones house. If i need to manually put stuff incan someone direct me to where i can find my DNS PPPOE settings etc.? If i can even get that on the net? So,if anybody can help,it would be appreciated!How do i set up xbox live through a wirelessly connected laptop,connected with an ethernet from laptop to xbox
You should log in to the router you are trying to use to determine the proper settings for DNS, Gateway, etc.





Also, the ethernet connection on most laptops is not designed to be a ';pass through'; connection. It is meant for the laptop to connect to the internet. It is not designed to allow an outside device to connect to the internet.





Get a longer ethernet cable, as you need to connect the Xbox directly to the router.
