    hi drmorphine,

    i'v been on live for 4 months now and for the first month i used a direct connection , i have eircom i-stream starter and in the xbox network settings you got to pppoe settings and enter your username and password ( the one's eircom give you ) this worked with no problems.

    i only had connection problems when i bought a router let the xbox get the settings automatically , that never worked the info had to be entered manually, but since then i'v had no problems and i'm playing on live via a wireless home network now.
