And under DNS settings / DNS server put the ip for the router in for the gateway. This is whats in mine (www.imagef1.net.nz). And this is what it should show (www.imagef1.net.nz) under network status for Xbox live, internet and network. Once you've configured it properly (and added the ip you put in the Xbox under DMZ in the router (if it has this option). Mines an example. Its not the same as yours. So, dont put the same ip in on yours

781221 2009-06-10 23:28:00 No probs, if the Xbox has never been connected to the net before, you'll probably get a message saying there's an update. Once you've configured it / and set it up properly. This update will give you the new interface / avatars. Which is similar to this (gizmodo.com)

Then you'll also be able to connect a USB kb to a USB port (not too sure if you can do this without updating the Xbox 1st). Since the 360 also has MSN on it (but the kb on the Xbox, is a bit hard to use, if you use a controller).

A USB keyboard will make it a LOT easier to chat to mates on MSN (If you use it).
