i have a question. i have the only ethernet cable. can i connect it to a router? does all routers can be connected with an ethernet cord or only specific ones?

and the modem is not very near to my tv. how do i extend the ethernet cable long enough to reach it?

u need buy new long cable..
any router will do
but dont forget to open port and assign it personal ip to ur xbox

you can't reall extend a cable. you either extend by connecting other cable or buy a long cable.

I have an 25m cat5 staying around

means?

I just plug and Live, never set anything before

means
u need to go here
portforward.com

find ur router model and select xbox live

i dun have t oset anything..jsut plug and play wo...

1 day someone will open new thread and saying
why i cannot join certain mp game...why my NAT is close/moderate
lol

without doing any settings every user could go Live!, but some games require NAT to be open so that your multiplayer game could be smooth.

easy, coz they don buy routers certified by M$. LOL

can someone give me a full tutorial and explanation of connecting to xbox live?

right now i know we have to use singapore address (where to get?), thn when sign up jor we need to NAT? portforward? i tak tau apa tu lar.

no need laa bro
simple solution is actually assign 1 ip to open port and set it manually on ur xbox dat ip

but if u were didnt know how to open port..
then used port forward and select xbox live application

no need waste money to buy router dat can used on xbl

I also know the trick of portforwarding.

Usually I tell this to those got bad connection. wahahahaha

owh..
forgive my noobiness
lol

erm...so what should i do actually? i got router but i dont think from ms. im still loss. portforwarding and ports and ip. confused.
