Big Penny Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 guys, how do i set up xbox live? i've searched around the internet all day and it's been a complete waste of time. i've got an xbox, a computer and a big [expletive] ethernet cable... but when i plug the cable in to the xbox and the router it does nothing. anyone got any tips on how i can sort this out?

SRV Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 I run my Ethernet cable from the wall and into my xbox, and I use wireless internet for my laptop. Thats how I do it, I could never set it up any other way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have to worry about it since my router and xbox are in the same room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guru Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 I run my Ethernet cable from my laptop to my Xbox. So it's pretty much a wi-fi adapter, without me paying $100 to Microsoft. :glasses: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Penny Posted July 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 it's OK guys, the problem was the cable i bought didn't work... i got a new one now (my gamertag is PiLR if anyone wants to add me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's for PS2 but it works for my 360 lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRV Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Does that work really well? My router SUCKS! It's for PS2 but it works for my 360 lolYes, I am always picked as host for games. I had a little problem where my connection would suck if my brother was playing ps3 online while I was on XBL, but that fixed itself somehow. Other than that, it works perfect, unless you don't have a laptop because then you can't be on the internet while you are playing xbox.
