Finally got the Xbox live kit setup yesterday evening and loaded up
after some fiddling about, the starter kit I bought came with demos

i was a beta tester of Xbox Live. I never got around to renewing my
subscription and just today, i tried to log in to LIVE using my newly

Does HALO2 come with free XBOX LIVE?????

The very first time that you sign up with xbox live do you have to give them
a credit card number or just a subscription card code.  My parents will not
give me their credit card number,but will let me buy subscription cards.

I have been trying to access X-Box live using a PC (WinME) and Windows ICS
through a BT Voyager USB ADSL modem and I can't get it to work. I suspect I
should replace the modem with an Ethernet capable modem/router. Can anyone
in the UK recommend a cheap but reliable device ...

Is it just me or does the xbox sorely need an online enabled Air Combat type
game with modern jet fighters?  The xbox has had several WWI/WWII type
flight sim games, and Air Force Delta Storm was ok, but I want one with xbox

somewhere to just replace that?  (And preferably save a few bones.)

Hi question from the UK:
Anyone know if there are still issues with the above i am trying to set this

Anyone know of an 8-port router that works with xbox live? I currently
have a non-xbox-compatible router connecting 4 pc's, and I'd prefer to
replace it with a single-box solution rather than a router and a
separate switch. Thanks.

I am getting a little frustrated waiting for each Halo 2 multiplayer
game to begin. Up to 5 minute waits to play a 3 minute game.
I am looking to start a community of New Zealand Halo 2 Players
(Friends List) that when online I can create my own game and invite

Is there anyway to get a trial of Xbox Live?? I just got me a new Xbox, and
want to try out live, but don't neccessarily want to commit to the headset
and subscription. Is there anything like a 30 day free trial?? Do you HAVE

I have an xbox hooked up with a crossover cable to my pc's spare NIC
card. I use Windows ICS to share my D-Link Wireless Card to my Dlink
DWL-7100 AP wireless acces point, and then to Netgear RP114 Router. I've
already solved the problem for the netgear router. My xbox still keeps ...
