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.

A router is far easier.

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.

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.
