Page 1 of xbox live - adsl modem that works

The Binatone ADSL2000 from Argos at £69.99 actualy works with the xbox on BTBroadband. It has an ethernet port and USB. If you already have a USB modem -don`t worry, you can program the modem very easily using the USB port on the binatone - all you need is your BT Broadband username. In the password box enter a single space and then backspace it out (the modem seems to think a password is required and doing this satisfies it) then click on the configure button. It will then take all the settings from your PC and from BT automatically.

Now unplug from the pc and attach to the xbox and set up using the cd supplied with xbox live. A word of warning however - you cant have 2 modems on the line at once so if you are using two like me one has to be unplugged to use the other, unless of course your xbox and pc are near enough to use both the ethernet and usb on the Binatone.

Alternatively you could just do what I did if you already have a USB ADSL/Cable Modem and get urself a NIC card and a crossover cable, £15 or so compared to £70 for a new modem! :) Just network the XBox up setting the PC up to use Internet Connection sharing. Plenty of guides out there on how to do it and I put up an earlier post of my experiences in dealing with it in these forums as well.

I agree, however my PC is more than 30 feet away and the cost of the CAT 5 cable plus the NIC was more than the cost of the second router.

I need to go back to school so that I kind understand this language :)

Have a joint, most things make sence after one!

on a related note, stumbled accross this little piece of software www.xbconnect.com It allows you to link up with other players online through the internet and emulates the System Link. Basically meaning u can play any XBox game which has a system link player online and not just XBox Live games!

In other words Online Halo!!! :D
