wtf...its 40 quid a year, I´m a member and my subscription runs out soon. I'm networked via my pc as well. Need a hand? contact me - I went through alot of trouble. Get the starter kit - Handy ^^

EDIT
Like biohazard said, no one lags. But running it through a pc may cause it to lag a bit for the fact that programs use the net (like my IRC Bots used to lag mine etc). But, its a laugh. btw bio, whats your gamertag? :). Mines NeoPuma, funny enough lol

i use a router and im on a 4mb conenction and my bro is hosting a server and i dont lag a bit, but same games like Rainbow Six 3, people use game server and u could get lag cuz of the server connection, ^^ for everything else it is hosted by Microsoft so u can get a faster connection.


O, BTW: Neo, y alot of trouble to get connected? i just pluged mine into router and boom, connected.

Sorry for the delay in answering.

You see, at the time, i wish though i could buy the lead and plug into phone line, and then do it that way. But, I ended up buying network cards n ****. Then had to configure the network, and went through alot of errors. The thing that annoyed me though, was the X-Box LIVE support team, gave me no help, they didnt have a clue.

I try to stay away from americans on live, no offence. Most americans I meet on live think they're god's gift to humanity then go on about my country.

I had XBL, first started with it hooked up to my computer using Windows ICS.

Then when I got a router I had some trouble setting it up. I then took the XBOX's MAC address out of the router, and put it in the XBOX, along with a few other settings like DNS and IP address.

Worked fine then.
