Hi,

The VGA connection on the laptop is an output, for connection to an external screen or projector, not an input. I'm sure I've seen products available to allow you to use a laptop as a display, but I don't know if they take a VGA input or work over a network. Your better bet would be to connect the xbox to a monitor or TV.
