Spent about 7 hours yesterday and about 5 hours today trying to set up Xbox Live and it's not working. I have officially given up!

I wouldn't even bother! I spent literally 30 minutes on the phone with those asshats Friday trying to cancel my subscription, 30 minutes! I had all the correct info and all and it was such a hassle. So unless you want to subscribe for your lifetime, don't bother. :)

That would be so helpful, thank you so much. :)
It was so frustrating. I spent the entire weekend doing this, what a waste!!!
Everything was wired up and the router was configured but the IP address kept failing for some reason ARGH!

Setup went fine, realised that wires were in wrong place DOH!
Quick question, the xbox live is for my fiance and he has paid for year's membership. Would I be able to create my own gamertag aswell on the same machine, using same subscription?

glad you got is sorted :)

1 gold account = 1 gamertag but you can use the gamertag on any 360 console, not that it's of any help

Those PS3's are so expensive!
I'm currently playing Legend Of Zelda Twilight Princess on the Wii and Zelda Phantom Hourglass on DS. I'm a wee bit of a Zelda fan :)
