I would like to take my xbox online and play how do i do this? I have a router but do i have to hook the modem up to the cpu and do i have to have xbox live
There's 3 different ways to connect. 1) Direct connection as DeadRain explained. 2)Using a wireless adapter connected to your xbox and having it wirelessly connect to your router. 3)Network bridge: Hook your xbox up to your pc and bridge the connection so that they both connect to the router. You don't need Xbox Live, but usually it does provide a better experience. There's also Xlink kai and XBconnect which are free.
