If you need a connection for more than your Xbox [ex. a computer] you're going to have to invest in a router if you already don't have one.
Now, looking at the geographics of your house. IF you have to connect to more than one system including your Xbox, is it going to be suitable to have a wire running from where the router is to where your Xbox and the computer are? This will determine if it makes more sense to buy a wireless router, or a wired one. If you're Xbox is downstairs and you're computer is a floor up then it won't make much sense to have a wire running all the way from downstairs to up stairs. It's a mess, and you can spend a few extra bucks to get a wireless router.
Note: If you have a wireless router and will be palnning to play your xbox via a wireless connection, then you're also going to have to buy the adapter that is sold for the Xbox 360 to connect to Xbox Live [prices/info here; http://www.amazon.ca/Xbox-360-Wireless-N鈥?/a> It's $100, so make sure you have the money to spend if you plan on being wireless [costs for the wireless router if you don't already have one, and the adapter]
Now that you've figured out how you're going to connect you're going to have to figure out how to connect it.
For an Xbox connected with a wireless router
Like stated, you're going to need a wireless router and the wireless Xbox 360 adapter to do this. You're going to have to connect your modem to your router, and once that is done wireless signals should be ready for you to connect to Xbox Live. Just turn on your Xbox with your wireless adapter connected, and set it up by going to the Xbox Dashboard, going to 'System, and then 'Network Settings'.
For an Xbox connected with a wired router
You won't need an adapter for this, but just a regular wired router. Simply connect your modem to your wired router. Once connected to your modem, you're going to need an Ethernet cable that will be put into your router and run into the Ethernet slot in the back of your Xbox. It should automatically detect the internet connection when the Xbox is turned on, so no Network Settings should have to be changed.
Connected without a router
This assuming you'll want to connect to ONLY your Xbox at one time and not other things such as your computer also. This doesn't require anything except a modem and an ethernet cable.
Make sure your modem is connected as it is right now to your computer, and then run a Ethernet cable straight from your modem into the back of your Xbox. Again, it should automatically connect to the internet when you turn on your Xbox, so no Network Settings should have to be changed.
If you need help, just give me a shout or check out the following search results in connecting to Xbox Live ; http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en%26amp;q=conn鈥?/a>How can i get online with my xbox live?
If you bought an xbox game system and the games you don't have a live account because it does not automatically come with the xbox. You have to purchase an xbox live membership. They come by the month, 3 months, or a year. Some newer games have a two day trial membership. As I'm sure you know you will need the internet connected to your xbox. If you Need a two day trial let me know and I can get you a code, we have three live accounts here and get the two days trials but don't need them cause we have yearly memberships.
Also add details if you are talking about the xbox or the 360, thanks
All you need is an ethernet cable running from a modem to the back of your Xbox or if you have wireless internet you'll need a wireless assistant that they sell for xbox's (they're kind of expensive). But once you get it hooked up to the internet and turn it on you'll go to market place if you have an xbox 360 and click join xbox live. You'll have to put in a code on the back of the card for the subscription and you'll have to fill out a few things like email and that kinda thing then your ready to play.
k ima huge xbox gamer lol na but ok you need at least a dsl connection cable is better an ethernet cable so plug the ethernet cable in to your internet router and then of course in to your xbox and then when you go to your 360 if it is a 360 but do the same if you the original xbox and go to join xbox live fill out all the info then enter the cards number into the place that it will say redeem code and then pop in a game and ya hope that helped and if it didnt email me or whateva
Try hooking it up 2 your moodem and make sure you also bought a card for how long you want to play theers 1month, 2month, 3month, and 1 year cards that you can buy

Make sure your internet is connected. And on the Game in the top right corner if it says Xbox Live or even Live it has a tab in the game for you to go online
well you need an internet connection(not dial-up), an Ethernet cable and you need to make an account on xbox live. youtube has alot of videos on how to make an account. hope that helped
U need an ethernet cable broadband or higher internet connection, and an account which you can make later.
