How to Hook Up an XBox Live to a Phone

While Microsoft's Xbox Live online system was designed for broadband Internet users, dial-up users still have the ability to access it. More steps are required to hook up to the system with dial-up, including the use of a computer, than with a broadband connection, but it will only take a few extra minutes to do. In no time, dial-up users will connect to Xbox Live and download videos, demos and more.

Things You'll Need

Two Ethernet cables
Router
Computer

Instructions

- 1
  Run the Internet phone line into the modem jack in the router.
- 2
  Run an Ethernet wire from one of the router's Ethernet ports to the computer's Ethernet port, then run another Ethernet wire from the router to the Xbox 360's Ethernet port.
- 3
  Start the dial-up connection on the computer.
- 4
  Turn on the Xbox 360. Remove any disc inside the system so that it goes to the system's main menu. Look on the computer for a network connection pop-up that says that the Xbox has connected to the network.

  Go into Xbox Live to download videos, demos and other multimedia files.
