Supplies you need:
A PC with a working dialup connection, running Windows XP Should work on Vista as well
An Ethernet Cable, long enough to reach your Xbox360 (For the uninitiated, these have plugs that look like bigger phone cord plugs)
Xbox 360.
How to Make it work
To pull it off, you need to connect the 360 to your PC using the Ethernet cable. Power up the 360 and the PC if they aren't already on. "Fire" up that dialup connection, and get ready to work the magic.
Open the Control Panel in Windows, then go to Network and Internet Connections.
Open Network Setup Wizard, press next.
Ignore the checklist and press next, then select "This computer connects directly to the Internet.".
Press next, and select your dialup connection as the way you connect to the Internet.
Press next again, and select "Local Area Connection" as your private connection.
Leave any names for your PC alone, and click next.
Leave the workgroup name alone, click Next.
Turn on file and printer sharing if you want to stream videos from your PC to the 360, click next.
Review the settings, and click next to apply them.
Let them apply, and select the last option that pops up, something like "I do not need to run Network Setup Wizard on the other computers."
Reboot your PC then re-dial-up if necessary.
This tread is good if your high speed is out or, you don't have it in your area.
