Default Live through laptop

Is it possible to have Live on the 360 through a wireless laptop? My laptop has a Sprint Wireless card in it so it can connect almost anywhere. But would it be possible to run Live on my 360 through the laptop's wireless connection?

I havn't ever heard of this being possible but more importantly this question is almost on par with the kids that ask if their PS3 will play 360 game discs....

NOOB!

In theory you could use a crossover cable to connect your 360 to your laptop and use your laptop as a router (need special software). In theory...

I succeeded awhile ago. I bought a separate router and plugged my Sprint wireless card into it. Then, I hooked my 360 up to the router via ethernet and voila!
Who's the NOOB now ElderScrotum?

Nice, I was just in CompUSA and saw a specialized router for Sprint wireless card holders, is that the router you have? And how is Sprint's service with wireless internet??? I have Verizon but they are suspect. If I am downloading heavily, they seem to reset my connection...

Here is the router:
CompUSA.com - Linksys Wireless-G Router for Sprint Mobile Broadband, 802.11g, b - WRT54G3G-ST - Linksys » Networking » Wireless » Routers
