Dude you cant have a cable running from your computer to the back of your xbox.

First of all, you'll need an Ethernet cable to hook up your Xbox to your broadband modem/router. Ethernet cable, commonly used for computer networking, has a head that looks similar to a phone connector but is slightly larger. Once you've plugged one end of the Ethernet cable into the back of your Xbox, you have a choice of either plugging the other end directly into your modem (if you want a dedicated connection) or through a router (if you want to share the Internet connection with your PC). A direct connection through a modem is probably preferable, especially if your broadband speed is at the lower end of the range and you don't want a shared connection with a PC to result in laggy gaming. But if you have multiple devices that need to be on the Internet at the same time, then having a router connection is the best bet.

Once all the cables are connected, then it's a simple matter of turning on the Xbox and following the on-screen prompts on your television to set up the Live account.

no problem man. id contact it help and see if you could set up a lan going. you would have to set it up though...try calling 18004myxbox for help. tell them you want to set up a LAN to your xbox with a USB cable.

edit: and to the person above me. dont speak unless you know what your talking about. You can set up a LAN through your pc. ive done it before, but it was with an ethernet cable. dont freaking treat people like they know nothing.

"it has a phone head but its bigger..."
whatever, he knows that.
