[Archived] How To Connect To Xbox Live With A Usb Mobem?

[Nelsta]

Ok i changed my internet provider to vodafone and got a usb plug in modem.

But i cant seem to get my 360 online with it, any ideas?

You can't just plug the usb modem into the 360 as it has no driver software or dial up capabilities. You need to connect the modem to a PC and then share the internet connection from the PC to the XBOX.

What did you use before? You should just be able to use that with the correct login details. Unless you've gone for one of those nasty usb mobile broadband jobbies in which case it's PC only.

Last time it was a cable modem that i could just plug into the 360.

Yeah it's one of them horrible little mobile modem thingys.

Fair enough, didn't realise the 360 coudl dial out on usb modems, thats pretty cool. I guess it just hasn't got the software to use the new mobile broadband sticks.
