CONNECTING TO XBOX LIVE ™
IMPORTANT! Before using this product, read the Xbox Instruction Manual for important safety
information and health warnings.
STEP 1: CONNECT
To connect your Xbox console directly to broadband, see diagram A. Or, to share your broadband
connection with a PC, see diagram B. For more details and other home networking options, including
Internet connection sharing, see www.xbox.com/live.
A. DIRECT CONNECTION
Cable or DSL modem
Ethernet cable (RJ-45)
B. SHARED CONNECTION
Cable/DSL modem
Cable/DSL router
WAN/Uplink
LAN Ports
Ethernet cable (RJ-45)
STEP 2: GO LIVE
IMPORTANT! Xbox Live is a subscription service. You must have a subscription code to set up an Xbox
Live account and play online. To find out how to get a subscription code, visit your local retailer or see
www.xbox.com/live.
You must set up an Xbox Live account to play games online. Here's how:
1. Insert an Xbox Live Starter Kit disc or game disc into the disc tray. Check game packaging to see if the
game supports Xbox Live play.
2. From within the game, select the option for Xbox Live. At this point, the Xbox console will try to go
online. If it works, create your Xbox Live account by following the instructions on screen and entering
your subscription code when prompted.
If the Xbox console can't go online automatically, you'll get an error message. Go on to Step 3.
STEP 3: CONFIGURE (IF NECESSARY)
If you can't go online automatically, use Network Setup in the Xbox Dashboard to enter your network
settings. You may have to enter information, such as a host name, a MAC address, or an ISP user name
and password. Contact your broadband service provider if you don't have this information. When you
have the information, enter it in the Xbox Dashboard.
NEED MORE HELP?
If you have any problems connecting to the Xbox Live service, do not attempt to take apart, service, or
modify the Xbox console or peripherals in any way. Doing so could present the risk of serious injury or
death from electric shock or fire and will also void your warranty. For additional assistance, see
www.xbox.com/live or call the Customer Support number:
• United States and Canada: 1-800-4MY-XBOX (1-800-469-9269)
• TTY users (requires special equipment for hard of hearing): in the United States and Canada:

SYSTEM LINK
You also can join up to eight Xbox consoles via a Local Area Network (LAN) and use multiple Xbox
consoles in one game. When you select System Link, you have the option of either joining a session on
another Xbox on the LAN or creating a session for other Xbox consoles to join.
