Just ordered the Xbox with Project Gotham Racing 2. Gonna buy the Xbox live kit but how easy is it to hook up to my ADSL connection?
I run PIPEX adsl via a USB ADSL modem. However I have two NIC's in my PC from my NTL cable days. Can I just share the ADSL dialup connection and then hook a cable between NIC and Xbox? And it will be a crossover cable?

What OS you running on the PC?
Dave,
Does XBox Live work with ICS or does it need a routed connection between NIC and USB?
I've only used it @ home with Blueyonder, but we connect through Smoothwall running on an old PC with a couple of NICs.

I was aware of that. Can I use those two months then extend for another 12 when I buy the live package? Will I be able to keep same tag/name etc?

i just used the free trial with pgr2 , going to go and buy a headset for £20 when i can be bothered. Other than that xbox live subscription is only £5 per month which is nothing really .
