Direct Connection
Choose a direct connection if you want the
easiest way to set up and play, and you don’t
want to share your Internet connection with
your PC (or other device).
To set up a direct connection:
1 Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to
the Ethernet port on your high-speed
modem and the other end to the Ethernet
port on the back of your Xbox 360 console.
2 Follow the instructions onscreen. You may
need to enter information provided by your
ISP in the System area of the Xbox
Dashboard.
Router Connection
Choose a router connection if you want to
share your Internet connection with your PC
(or other device), your high-speed modem
supports an Ethernet connection, and you
want to be able to play on Xbox Live whether
your PC is on or off.
To set up a router connection:
1 Connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet
port on your high-speed modem and the
other end to the WAN or Uplink port on
your router.
2 Connect an Ethernet cable to an Ethernet
LAN port on your router and the other end
to the Ethernet port on your PC (or other
device).
3 Connect an Ethernet cable to an Ethernet
LAN port on your router and the other end
to the Ethernet port on the back of your
Xbox 360 console.
NOTE
Some modems and devices may require a
network hub instead of a router.
4 Follow the instructions onscreen. You may
need to enter information provided by your
ISP in the System area of the Xbox
Dashboard.
Troubleshoot Your Connection
If your Xbox 360 console cannot connect
automatically, you may need to manually
configure your network settings in the Xbox
Dashboard. Some Internet service providers
(ISP’s) require specific settings, including host
name, MAC address, and ISP user name and
password (for PPPoE authentication). If you
are unsure about whether you need this
information, check with your ISP. For more
information, see “Troubleshooting” or
www.xbox.com/setup.
