Plug the ethernet cable into your laptop and connect your modem via USB and if you've already set up live on your console it should work.

[benjamin]

do i have to connect my modem to my laptop?
o that doesn't really help i don't think

If you have a router connected wirelessly to your modem you won't.

How do you currently connect to xbox live? (e.g. Console -> PC -> router -> modem OR console -> router -> modem)

[benjamin]

well when i wired up on christmas day i just plugged my xbox into the router
and i heard that if i wired my xbox up to my laptop (that's connected to the internet via wireless) i can connect to xbox live?

I can't helo you any more either because Vista sucks for networking and it's hard enough using XP.

I did it with XP

[benjamin]

start > connect to > open network & sharing center > manage network connections

then, highlight both your internet and the ethernet to your xbox, then right click and select bridge connections :]

everything will DC before it works
