Does my ISP still have an effect on LIVE even when using Direct Connection?
They told me that the connection was definitely fast enough for games, but didn't seem to think that there would be any compatability issues.
Cheers mate :)
Anyone else who feels they may be able to help, by all means do. Thankee.

It's called "ABC Broadband". Seemed to be the only people that could do our area. Damn I wish I'd looked at Freeola...
I can't fault the performance for downloading stuff, but this LIVE problem bothers me.
I'll give 'em a ring tomorrow, and see what happens.
Thanks to you all.

Your ISP should let you use xbox live providing you have a 512k+ connection (think it's 512 anyway).
I have to say I'm not that good with these connection issues, makes sure you have no firewalls/security programs on and try different combinations of setups on your xbox (you might need to input IP addresses etc).
Once you've got a connection you can bring security programs back online and see what's blocking you from connecting (if it is one of those).
Edit: whoops you're going for direct connection now... yeah router + 512k+ line should do the trick.

Should do.
What ISP have you got?

What I'm actually trying to say, I guess, is 'will DC work with any ISP?'
Well, I mean the people at the ISP company didn't sound totally convinced about using the line for console gaming.
It won't work with ICS, but I was just wondering if it has more chance of workinh through DC.

ISP still have effect?
No idea what the means.
I do a direct connection and it all works fine, just as well as it would if I was using a router.
