Apologies if this has been posted 4,682 times before, but I thought I would just ask if anyone has successfully connected their Xbox to NTL broadband without telling NTL (to get another IP address etc) plus of course the £30 connection fee and £5 monthly charge. I've found out how to clone the MAC address etc, will give it a try tonight.

For anyone interested, 128k line fine so far, can host PGR2 races with upto 3 other players no problems, above that and it gets a bit choppy though.
USA site is exactly the same :(

I've noticed that. I think you just have to access the scoreboards in-game for now.
Haven't tried the US site though.

Of course, I didn't get onto Live until about 1am, did 2 races on PGR2 then the baby was awake until 2.30am so had to switch it off :(

(I've linked gamertag etc) the only games on the drop down list are old ones ie PGR2 is missing, is it just a case of M$ not having updated the game list for ages ? I'm going to try the USA version of the site and see if that's any better.
