Usually you need a crossover cable to go from pc to pc.

I've done it with CAT5 plenty of times.

Now, keep trying the network test in Xbox. It should be able to pull the DNS settings from the laptop.

Also, the laptop is set to automatically obtain settings, correct?

Also, what antivirus do you have? If there is an internet security component, it might have to be disabled.

Also, a good thing to test is disabled the firewall on the laptop.

I think it is set to auto obtain settings. That is the DHCP thing right?
