the cable must be a cross-over cable rather than the standard straight through ethernet cable. - see FAQ (last time i looked it was in there - if not google). when connecting a cable - check for link lights at either end.

another possibility why it isn't working is that there are no ip address being given out. set static ips in the same range/subnet to be sure.

you could say, set your XBOX to:

ip: 192.168.1.1
subnet: 255.255.255.0

and laptop to:

ip: 192.168.1.2
subnet: 255.255.255.0

no need for dns or gateways in this instance.

But you must ensure the correct cable is in use and there is a connection.
