ok this happened to me. although this sounds very basic and probably not the technical answer you were after this is how i solved it!

1) turn the laptop and the xbox off and unplug the ethernet cable
2) Plug back in the ethernet cable in both ends
3) turn on the laptop and MAKE SURE there is a power supply in the back which is on. For some reason if it runs on only its battery it never seems to work!
4) Wait till the laptop has fully loaded and check it is connected to the wireless network. At this stage DO NOT restart the wireless network or anything like that. Then turn on the console and it should like it did with me work.

The only annoying thing is you have to do this every time you go on xbox live but its worth it for the gameplay and you get quite quick at it!

I hope this worked and helped and if not im sorry good luck in finding another way!
