Yep, Xbox live does look pretty neat with it's communications and organisation, but it's out of the question in this case because:
a) My friend hasn't ordered a kit and doesn't want to right now
b) We want to play Halo.
So tell me, how to we play through Gamespy?
My friend has an Xbox with Halo (other games too but they don't matter for the minute), four controllers and a broadband connection.
I'm guessing that I need an ethernet cable and that they need some sort of network card (they got their PC within the last 2 years so it might've been standard when they bought it).
Anything else?
How do we log into Gamespy?

Ah... that's where things get complicated...
First I'd need to get a network card, then I'd need to know how to fix it, then I'd have to plead with my friends dad to let me tamper with their PC to wire it up to a network...
Wouldn't go down to well.! :-D
If the worst comes to the worst then I'll scrounge an old hub off school and use that to link up the ethernet wires.
I think that was a set-up option on xbconnect...

The 6th form study room at my school has a hub and ethernet cables that no one will miss during the weekend...
