I just got my xbox 360 today and tried to use direct modem connection for live service. however, this plan didn't work out as i hope. These are the steps i did:

1) Ethernet cable (from 360) connecting to my Aztech DSL 350E (4-year-old DSL modem)
2) Set an auto-connection....normal constant lights for PC. but the DSL starts blinking once plugged into my 360....

Tell me direct modem connection isn't the appropriate way to connect to live service or was i left out something?

If so, i think i should opt for router connection. Is it any wired routers will work for 360?

u must alter some settings on 360. try asking others, coz im not that familiar with the settings.
for wired routers, try check its compatibility with the 360.

Well then, can someone help with direct modem connection (most preferably) otherwise i have to buy a router for connection purpose?

You still have to set those IP, Mask, Gateway and so on, no short cut

305E Gateway i think 192.168.1.1

if thats the case, set ur xbox ip:192.168.1.11, gateway:192.168.1.1, subnet mask:255.255.255.0, dns1:202.188.0.133, dns2:202.188.1.5
what else did i miss?

modem -> wifi router -> LAN connection to 360

your gateway is 10.0.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 or others?
if its 10.0.0.1, set ur xbox ip to something like 10.0.0.10
coz i've checked, theres only lan settings, dns settings, pppoe settings, and (another one i forgot).

er... gate way for wat??? i mean the 10.0.0.1???
i type wat ever you gave me lo...


BTW... HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR....
