Need help connecting to xbox live

[MrSir231]

I've been having trouble connecting my xbox 360(the fat white one) to xbox live. I haven't had any problems until today and it's pissing me off terribly. I'm using my laptop to connect to a Verizon 4G LTE Jetpack, and my 360 connects to my laptop via ethernet cable. Like I said before, this usually works fine. However, it keeps on telling me I have an IP address error. I have tried clearing the system cache, resetting the Jetpack and my computer, and have set the network settings to factory default several times, yet the problem persists.

The error report says that my router or modem may not be automatically assigning an IP address or that it may not be set up to provide IP addresses. Any help would be appreciated. I am using windows 8 on my laptop if that helps at all.

The error status report is
W:0000-000B
X:4000-1001
Y:0000-0000
Z:0000-0000
ID FFFF-FFFF
L:8015-1901
Q:8007-0435
T:Wired
A:169.254.241.81/255.255.0.0
G:0.0.0.0
D:0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0

I found an exact match to your error code, other than everything that follows the last line starting with a 'Z'.

He/she was using Vista though, and solved their own problem, by trial and error it seems:

"Update : I have found the problem (if that doesnt work) is if you have vista (>;/) you have to change the settings (network sharing settings) and turn sharing off, test xbox, then turn it back on, test xbox and it works! yaay"

Thanks. It took several tries, but it worked eventually.
