"Another Xbox Live question"

Hi Everyone, I am new here.

I am considering getting a Xbox Live, I have an Pc with a eTEC USB ADSL Modem and my ISP is Freeola, Will I be able to use these?

Will I have to get a router plus what other cables will I need.

I will appectiate help.

Exactly the same as my setup.
Zero lag and I can now be completely bested at Halo2

Thank you for help everyone, I am now on XBox Live. :)

Just in case you are interested, I have a Netware Wireless ADSL Firewall Router connected to my PC and a Linksys Wireless-B Rthernet Bridge connected to my XBox. This works rather well.

As long as you have an ethernet port of some kind on your PC, then it'll work.

Make sure it's a crossover cable though, unless you decide on direct connection, whereby you obviously need a direct connection cable.

I have no idea what you need if you use a router.

A router is far easier.

I simply suggest a adsl modem/reuter.

You will be much better off, [URL]http://ukchatforums.reserve.co.uk/display_messages.php?threadid=104857&forumid=130[/URL] for reccomendations and how to.

Thanks for your help.

I have not got a network card, so if I get a 4 Port USB Micro Hub For PC, Crossover Network Cat 5 UTP Lead / Cable (10 Metres, USB To Ethernet Network Adapter (all these items are from special reserve) plus a ethernet cable from elsewere, Should I be able to connect my Pc to a Xbox Live?

The easiest and cheapest way to set up LIVE is to use ICS, Internet Connection Sharing.

This involves plugging your XBox into the ethernet port on your Network Card using (wait for it) an Ethernet cable. Then you can just set up a Network using the Wizard thing, and then, as long as your PC is turned on and connected to Broadband, you can play LIVE.

A 5m Cable costs £1.50 on ebay.

You can buy a router and stuff, but it's a lot of money when you can just turn your PC on.
