Ive just bought a xbox360 off a mate from work and i wana connect it to the internet. Ive noticed it had a connection with my mates name on! But that dnt connect. Im on vm broadband (not wireless) and i put the ethernet wire from my modem to back off the xbox. When i check the connection it always fails at xbox live. When i check the media connection it says its not connected to a pc. Im confused how to get this going. I went to a link it tells u to goto xbox/pcsetup when i goto that its just a search engine on windows website. Can anyone help or have a guide on how to get things up and running. Thank u

for your xbox live, double check your network connection (cables etc..) and try another computer on your network to make sure ur internet is acutally working.

As for your pc setup, ive had problems myself connecting it. Do you have vista(what version?) or XP? xbox works better with media centre(vista home prem/ultimate) or xp media centre. but i believe it can work with XP Pro.

Go to http://www.xbox.com/en-GB/pcsetup/alldownloads.htm and select your version of windows, it tells you how to connect the xbox on there.

Hope that helps :)

sounds like you might be banned from xbox live
ask your mate if he had his xbox modded in anyway
if he has then you are banned

you need xbox live gold to play online, but if the xbox is banned(your mate tryed to play a dodgy game online) then it wont connect.

if you want to play online, take the xbox back to your mate, get your money back and buy a new one for £120.
