How to get connected to xbox live

first of all, you need to have an internet connection in your home. If you are using a wired connection, plug in the ethernet chord into the port, then reset your router. If you are using a wireless connection, you need an XB360 adapter ($100), then you have to have a wirless router, with a know IP address to configure. Also, you will need a membership card (i suggest this over using your account online), and you scroll to the live panel, and it will prompt you for your information and location, and other security feats. after you complete all of those, you are all set!
