I have joined my xbox and computer by ethernet cable, when i got to join up on my dashboard it says the IP address has failed, any ideas? Wish this was easier.

With Eircom broadband I had to set the firewall to Low - that's the firewall on your router, not any software firewall you might have. The browser address of the firewall settings is in the manual. This probably works for any broadband provider and I haven't had any virus/spyware problems (at least, none that I know of)
