well you'll need a wireless router for your pc and the xbox live wireless router aswell (a high quality router would be better for your connection)http://www.netgear.co.uk/wireless_adslrouter_dg834g.php this router is the type i have and it's great. After setting up your pc router via a setup disk (comes with router) go onto your xbox 360 and on the orange game screen click on join xbox live. You then have to set up an online account an you will have to pay for the connection, also you'll need to make up a gamertag and id. Hope all this helps you. :)

You can connect the xbox 360 either by wired ethernet or wireless. Run the ethernet cable from your router to the back of the xbox360. If you want to go wireless, you'll need a xbox360 wireless adpater that go int back usb port and a wireless router. You can find out all the internet setup here : http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/connecttolive/xbox360/default.htm

Wireless router+Wireless game adapter. The game adapter will plug into the 360 and streems wirelessly to your wireless router. :)
Then the rest, you just go onto your 360 set up a profile and account for xbox live by filling out information, takes maybe 5-10 minutes.

if you have a wireless router then all you need is the network adapter ($100!!!!) quite expensive, i know. i just play in my basement where my internet is and thats probably what your going to have to do unless you want to buy a longer Ethernet cord but that would run all the ways through your house and have to be like 100 ft. So...i reccommend getting the network adapter or playing downstairs.

go with the wireless addapter, or run an eathernet cord up there. The x box live patended wireless concetor just for the360. It runs at $100. Eathernet cables run at about $1 per foot. So it all matters on how far away your room is.
