    plug xbox into your router, set up an xbox live account, pay your subscription, insert game, hit play online

    its a box that sends a wireless internet signal around your house.. basically

    what way do you connect your internet to your pc?? ie is it through a usb modem or is it through an ethernet cable?

    i've just gone online since the weekend.
    i bought a wireless router which i hooked up to my modem. I bought a wireless connector for the xbox,which fits into the back of it
    the hard part is configuring so you can connect to xbox live
    you have to create a static IP for both your router and xbox and open 3 ports
    then you have to manually enter IP address,subnet mask, gateway and DNS server
    It had me tearing my hair out
    After 3 calls to MS Support (shower of useless bastards, i hung up on them the third time) i figured it out myself

    If you get all the above gear, let me know and i can take you through set up

    i just plugged my xbox into my ethernet connection on the pc which is wireless enabled and didn't have to buy a wireless connection for the xbox.

    wireless connection for a pc is cheaper than that of the xbox and you can manage the wireless connection much eaier through windows,that was my logic

    nah a router doesnt have to just send wireless signals, it can be a box with say 4 outputs that your broadband signal goes into, and from there you run a cable from one of the outputs into whatever device you want to use online

    ah yeah i know but the OP didn't seem to know anything about networking so i was just trying to keep it simple.

    assuming they were going to connect wirelessly was my fault i spose ..sorry :(
