Other ways of connecting to Xbox Live

I was wondering if my computer is connected to the internet and if I were to connect my 360 to it would I be able to connect my 360 to the internet. Or is there an other ways of getting DLC with out connecting you 360.

also what is the usage rate of gaming on live like?

Just get a fucking router and put the X-Box in a DMZ... or Google which ports you need to forward to your gaming brick.

I don't have normal internet where I could use a router. I'm just wondering if I did what I said would it work?

Excuse me, but that's not possible.

Actually come to think about it I didn't know what a router was till now. How exactly do they work like would it work with mobile broadband.

Getting mobile broadband (I assume it's an USB stick) to work with a router is tricky, but can be done if the router has been smartened by a linux firmware like DD-WRT or OpenWRT. Of course this can only be done with a number of routers.

usb to ethernet adapter.. unless you have to establish a direct connection from a source.. i use to have to plug my ethernet cord into my laptop then into my old xbox for the old live account or use the dual socket ethernet card.. don't ask.

What is the usage rate is like for playing online?

Ways you can connect to xbox live are:

Zune
Windows phone
COMPUTER
PS3

XBOX ITS SELF: WIRELESS AND ETERNET CORD.

try bridging the connection in your network connection for god's sake.

You can get modems/ routers that have a usb port in them... we have one, and you put your mobile broadband into it, and it gave out wireless reception.. was fun.

Might borrow that off dad and then use it for live :D

I was able to use xbox live via my laptop.

It had something to do with sharing network in windows 7(bridging) . Just google it!

If you have wireless internet, you can connect the Xbox to your computer with an ethernet cable, then bridge the ethernet and wireless adaptors in 'Manage connections', by selecting them both and right clicking, then clicking 'bridge connections'. You may have to mess about with port forwarding and IP settings to get it working properly though, it can be a bit dodgy.
