The answer is yes. If, like me, you do not have a wireless adapter for Xbox 360, and use a laptop with a wifi or other internet connection like a 3G mobile broadband dongle. then you will be able to go on Xbox live. It will be a lot slower so don't expect high speed gaming; expect just being able to go on Xbox live. :)

So here is how you can set up Xbox live access via your PC or laptop:

1. plug Ethernet lead into Xbox and laptop/PC

2. plug in dongle to USB port

3. (A) if using Windows XP, click start, connect to, click show all network connections, if you have more than one Ethernet port on your PC/laptop click on the one you are using with your xbox 360. then drag and select both your dial-up 3g mobile broadband connection and your Ethernet connection and right click, goto add to network bridge wait a few minutes, open up your 3g ISP software, click on connect, then once connected turn on your xbox 360 and hopefully you should sign into xbox live.

3. (B) Windows Vista is basically the same. Just go to network and sharing center and you should be able to bridge the connections by going on manage network devices.

3. (C) Windows 7... You cant bridge dongle and LAN only LAN and wifi sorry people with win 7.
yes you can use a dongle for xbox live
