working out a network connection

[System]

hey all, i have wireless net, so its a USB key- to get onto xbox live, i have the net on the leptop- then set up a network connection to the 360 to share the net to the consol.

Its worked great for 6 months, now theres just NO communication what so ever, the network is gone.

it mentions something about 'cant find the static IP', i've tried automatic, AND manual settings to the IP, and DNS addresses, which was what i did the first time, which worked.

anyone got a step by step guide on how to do it- the one i found was to make a 'network bridge' which didnt work at all. Then i looked for the DNS address in the connection settings, wrote them down- put them in the network settings of the consol, but that didnt work either.... i'm completely stumped

(oh i've tried power cycling too)
