okay, what you're going to want to do is:

A) make sure you have a router, which shares the internet amongst about four computers/xboxes. This prevents you from having to connect your xbox directly to the internet modem (a little black box that meets your cable/phone jack before going into your computer).

you simply take an Ethernet cable (looks like a phone cord but the jack is bigger) and connect your xbox to the router.

then, boot up your xbox and try to connect. Even if youre not creating an account, you can still try and connect.

get this far, and then i'll help you some more.
