Ok, I've got the cables connected (ethernet cable to ethernet port on PC + PC to ADSL modem to phone line), the xbox goes through the motions fine until it tries to find Live and then it can't find it.

What am I doing wrong?

You could try shouting expletives at the sucker manning the helpline.

Suggestions :

* Question his hygiene
* Question his mums sexual morals
* Question his gene pool
* Question his sexuality

If it's a girl you could mention that her moustache is scraping on the phone making it difficult to understand her.

You'll be on Live in no time!

:D

I don't plug my xbox in through my PC so I don't know how that works. I use a router plugged into my broadband connection.

You will need to set up the IP address and DNS server addresses in the Live options though don't forget, although I suspect you've already done all that.
