Luke Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 My friend wants to get Xbox Live, but he has a couple of problems: 1. He doesn't want the wireless adapter 2. He has no computer in his room What he does have though, is a phone line in his room. What could he get to connect his Ethernet cable to his phone line without a computer so that it would enable him to play xbox live?
Guest Stefkov Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 Does he not have a router? Depending on where his router is then wireless is probably his only option. If not get a long ethernet cable and go through the roof or something.

Charlie Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 Need some more background information. How does his computer currently connect to the internet? You won't be able to connect directly from a phoneline unfortunately as the Xbox doesn't have a modem in it, only an ethernet port. Can't remember what it's called, HomePlug maybe? But it lets you create a network through your power plugs. He could use that.

Thanks for all those who have helped.
Shorty Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 Well that's probably the most expensive option he could've gone with....
