got Telewest Broadband, 2MB, 256 upload i believe.

Do you reckon we'd both be able to play the same game online at the same time??

tricky.....you may need extra IP addresses as the xbox needs ports opening to it. If you only have one IP address you only have a 1 set of ports to open. The problem is you need the same set of ports open for both boxes, give it a try and see what happens, my router needed ports opening to get an open NAT rating as it doesnt support UPnP, never tired it with a moderate rating. However i checked the logs on my router and it seems the xbox commincates on port 3074

right oh, will have to wait till we get a router. can see some arguments about who gets to go on coming up!

im 99% sure it wouldnt work properly with just the one. Not sure if anyone on here has tried this. Defo give it a try though using a standard setup. Can your ISP provide extra IP addresses?
