Your laptop has two network cards, one wireless, one wired. You need to connect Xbox to laptop via wired connection. In laptop you want to create a bridge between wired and wireless. It's usually done with a big blue dildo. But you can try network settings>create a bridge. :wink:

Well, it should not ask for an IP address.... although you might want to put it anyway. But for now, it should simply work.

Try creating a bridge, then see if it works....if not, post the errors you are getting and we will try to guide you thru it.

Honestly thou, never tried it with 7. But it should work similar.
