do i have to configure it in some way i rang ntl and they said that ethernet at the back of the tv box should be active i just need to set the xbox up.
i rang the xbox people but they were as thick as me so ive come to the pro's
If your broadband is being supplied by a cable modem, then you must connect your xbox to that cable modem. The ethernet port on the STB will not be activated unless you are one of the decreasing numbers of customers who get broadband via the STB, iin conjunction with a digital TV subscription.
I'd suggest you acquire a router, place that between the modem and the computer / xbox. That way you can use both simultaneously.
