Tried setting live up.. complicated as hell... and people are saying i NEED a router? this true? my ISP is saying i will have to buy a different wire and might not even work :|anyone else have problems?
How is it... complicated? To my knowledge you do need a router. Pick up a Linksys basic networking router and and ethernet cable.
Only if you already don't have a router which may support LAN wires and connectivity directly to the internet. Its a little complicated, I admit but its a relief once you go through the sign-up process. Just go through the field once you have connected the Xbox to the Internet and then it will all be easy for you to set up, trust me! and btw, Welcome the Xbox family mate! Enjoy the living hell out of yourself Hope to meet you on it in GTA IV ;-> Gamertag: hellboy421
ill add ya n yeah thats one of the main games iv got it for i just need to pop out today and buy a router /sigh sucks donkey balls <_< also my ISP uses some fu*ked up crap so i need to phone them to fill out some of the xbox parts.. anyone else have this issue btw? PC is on 1 side of the room... xbox on the other side? small wire? lol also i dont know much about routers does it matter how much you spend on them? if your a cheap arse (have low funds) and buy a £30 one will it affect your online experience etc?
I don't have a router for my X-Box, but I've just have a direct connection. Only means that I don't have my Wii connected at the same time.
