If you don't have an ethernet connection for your laptop then you can be an adapter/pmcia card. You can get a wired card or a wireless card.
Then you will need a router, wireless or wired, to connect to your modem.
Then you will need a cable to connect to your XBox 360 to the router.
You might just want to take your laptop to BestBuy or Circuit City so they can tell you want your options are.

internet is coming to one of your computer.
You need an available network connection on each device.
if you only have two computer, you could use a network cable between the two as long as it's the right type, or the network adapters can autodetect the type of cable you are using. Otherwise get a hub or a switch and two regular network cable and you'll be all set.

You need LAN cards for both computers and a networking hub to connect them and share an internet connection.

Maybe Wireless is the way to go. U will need a wireless Modem attached to your main computer and a wireless network card on the other.
