i got mine today too. If your using the wireless network adapter for the 360, its a doddle. Just go to "Join Xbox Live" and follow the instructions. It will detect that you are not connected to a network and ask you to create a conection. Select your network and let it do its checks (normaly takes 2 min ish) After that, sign up to XBL with e-mails, names and stuff (USB keyboard advised). Test conection. Stick Halo 3 in (example), Go to matchmaking, set it to XBL, start match making!

Very vauge guide, but thats the steps it took me through.

Good luck, PM if you have any concerns ;)

You might aswell get the adaptor, unless your router is in distance so u can use the Ethernet.
I have 48 hr trials if u need any for free :)

If its wired its a MASSIVE Farce. Emphasis on the word MASSIVE.
When I want to go on Xbox Live after being on the computer (internet) I have to Switch Everything off at the wall and then switch the ethernet cable around the other way. Then it works. I hate Virgin.

Who-ever said the wireless adapter thing is a doddle well it wasnt for mine,
i had to get my techie mate to come round and sort it out he had to open gateways etc etc

it took 2 hours to work =]
Look on xbox.com for help

Its called a Cable Modem. So you didnt get an ethernet cable? Did you get the Core/Arcade?
