It is possible to connect wirelessly to your computer, but you need to bridge your connection through your computer and use it as an access point first. Can you control your wireless settings? (Meaning, you're not under a school connection/stealing someone's wifi/etc...)
Next question: Mac, or PC laptop? If Mac: http://www.joystiq.com/2006/07/17/how-to-share-your-macs-internet-connection-with-your-xbox/
You need a router and an ethernet cord (the blue internet cord if you didnt know) to access xbox live. You could also try going wireless, but I think you still need the router.
