Right, for starters I'm thinking of purchasin myself an Xbox with xbox live. The problem is, is that I have a shitey USB modem and of course I need an ethernet modem unless I use the computer sharing crap. Only I can't be arsed with that cos it's too much faffin about. Anyway, I was wondering what modems you guys use to play xbox live? and is it just the simple case of shoving one end into the phone socket and the other end into the xbox?

P.S What are the best Xbox live games?

Fooked if I know anything about modems... but the best Live games are Midtown Madness 3 and Unreal Championship... and MechAssault is quite good too.

Not that I know of.

As far as I am aware, I only have one IP (though not static).

I got the first reply in Chat, however it didn't have anything to do with the question asked. So I guess I was partially right.
