Just key your exact address with an additional zero at the end of your postcode. eg. 57000 becomes 570000.

I will need a VERY long LAN cable. The direct range from my console to my router is roughly 4-5m, but when you try to get by the walls and not let the cable lie around it's going to take twice or thrice as much. I also heard that long LAN cables have more tendency for packet losses to occur. Is this true?

That's why I'm asking the question here. I'm not supposed to experience lag, but when I play GoW everyone is jumpy including me. My shots are also late.

I have tried 60ft without packet loss. Try moving your xbox near the router to test direct connection. If it still lags at least its not due to ur laptop.
