This is more a problem with your laptop and less with the phone. There is a function in windows xp/vista to turn your existing wired connection(with a wireless connection on the system) into a hotspot. Google that and set it up, then you will probably have to access your network settings on the laptop and turn on *share this internet connection with the network*. There is a login security feature that exists though, im not sure if the android will be able to mesh with it properly, but its worth a try. If it cannot, its going to take custom software to make its own link(then id route that data to the internal wifi connection on the phone, should save on code)
