How to Get on Xbox Live With Dial-Up

A big question on many gamers' lips is just how do you get on Xbox Live with dial-up? According to Microsoft, it cannot be done. We all know how that goes, though. We are here to tell you that, yes, you can get onto Xbox Live with dial-up.

You will need:

• Xbox 360 console
• Xbox Live subscription
• A PC or laptop
• An ethernet cable
• Dial-up internet connection

1. First, you will need to connect to the internet via PC or laptop. One you are connected to the internet, go into your "Control Panel" and go to "Network Connections."
2. From "Network Connections," go into "Create New Connection." This will bring you to a screen that will allow you to set up a home network. You will want to set your dial-up connection as the main connection for this network and allow other devices to connect through that connection.
3. Connect the ethernet cable into the ethernet port on the PC or laptop. Connect the ethernet cable to the ethernet port on the back of the Xbox 360.
4. The Xbox and the PC or laptop should be networked together. This will allow you to connect to Xbox Live with dial-up.

This is one of the only ways to connect to Xbox Live with a dial-up connection. This is because Xbox Live will only recognize a broadband connection, so you are giving one to your computer. The Xbox 360 will use the dial-up connection through your computer to connect to Xbox Live.

Tips & Warnings:

• Do keep in mind that with a slower connection, you will not be able to play any of the multiplayer games, but you will be able to download games and make purchases to the Live Marketplace.
