Ok, now I am online with a wireless connection through my cell phone company (desktop connection). I still cannot get on xbox live however. I have a router and an ethernet cable going from the desktop tower to the router and a cable from the router to the 360. But still no sucess getting on live. I'd greatly aprecciate some advice.

It doesn't work like that hun. You can't just have an ethernet cable going from your desktop to the router.

Now I have the cable going from the desktop to the xbox. I think it is failing at DNS.

WALL ---> MODEM

MODEM ---> ROUTER

ROUTER ---> COMPUTER
ROUTER ---> XBOX

If you are using a wireless internet card on your desktop you need to get a wireless card router. Kyocera makes one but it costs around $250. ther may be other ways and cheaper modems but This will work.

Ok, I THINK I understand what you are trying to do...

1. Wireless Device (ie: Cell Phone) is your MODEM
2. Wireless Device Connected to Desktop.
3. Desktop Connected to Router
4. Router Connected to 360.
5. No XBL

Am I correct?

If that is the case, possibly try
1. Connecting the Wireless Device to the router's "WAN" or "Internet" port
2. Cables to 360 and Desktop from Router.

This MAY work...

if your connecting your xbox to a pc/laptop, you have to turn on ICS(internet connection sharing)

at least i think that is what this topic is about....
