Bridge Connection Help!

Hi, I was just wondering if you could give me a hand with something. In my apartment complex, the Pavlov media internet service is only available through wireless connection. My goal is to connect my xbox 360 to the internet so that I can play xbox live online. Normally, my xbox is connected using an ethernet cable and wired connection, but that is not possible because Pavlov media internet service is only available via wireless. So, I am trying to perform a bridge connection. In other words, I would like to connect (wired) my xbox to my laptop which has wireless connectivity to Pavlov media internet service. Therefore it would give my xbox access. I have successfully done this before at my home but here at the apartments, I seem to be getting a DNS issue. My xbox troubleshooter says “Your DNS server can’t resolve the names of the xbox live servers”. My xbox successfully connects to the network but it dosent connect to the internet.

The xbox troubleshooter recommended entering the DNS manually, but (if I did it right, that didnt work either). When I went to cmd then ip config /all. I found 4 dns servers. I didnt know which was the secondary or primary. In my xbox I can only enter two. I was a little puzzled at this step and I tried different combinations of the four dns server addresses. But, no luck.

Btw, fyi: I do have to activate devices through pavlov media's website before I use them. In other words, I have to enter my MAC address of my laptop or xbox before I use them. I have done this.

I also tried activating a MAC address I found from right clicking the bridge connection then going to details. I figured, I might need to activate the MAC address of the bridge connection (I honestly didnt even know the bridge connection had a mac address, I just happened to stumble upon this idea) But, no luck.

I tried contacting my ISP (pavlov media). But, again, no luck. :(

Got any ideas?
 
Also, FYI. I don't have any access to the router I am connected to because it is controlled by my ISP and the apartment complex.
