how are you trying to connect it all ? .. the best way would be for the laptop to connect to the wireless AP and than connect the xbox to the laptop with a crossover cable ..

ok i am reading up on crossover cables here's a question can I just buy a modular crossover adapter and hook it to my ethernet cord than run it from the laptop to the xbox? and if so what happens to the wireless adapter i just brought? i only have 1 computer that uses a ethernet cord and it's downstairs hooked to the comcast linksys router my other 3 computers and my laptop are wireless that's why i brought the game adapter. i have an extra netgear router in the box should i try to use that and have 2 routers going? i don't know if you can have 2 different routers going but if so it would help because it works hard wired. i don't trust my laptop in the living room around my kids and their friends that is another reason for the game adapter. i hope i didn't confuse you.
ex:
computer 1 ethernet to comcast linksys router
linksys router for 3 wireless computers and wireless laptop
here's the question--wireless game adapter hooked to the netgear router
ethernet from netgear router to xbox?
it sounds crazy but just asking because i don't know
