To get it to work, you need to bridge the connection on your laptop.
Do do this go to Run (Windows Key + R), and copy/paste this into the box that pops up: "explorer.exe ::{7007ACC7-3202-11D1-AAD2-00805FC1270E}"
Once you're there, select both your 3G dongle & your ethernet port you have your Xbox plugged into (To select them both, hold down the Ctrl key while selecting), then click on 'Bridge Connections', and follow the on-screen pormpts from there.

It will still work. I can do it in Windows7 right here.
The same result can be obtained by going to your "Network Connections" thing.
