A simple question... right?

I got this white thing called and Xbawks three-hundred and sixty. It makes a good space heater for my room and a large heavy object to be used as a weapon. I also got this high tech PC with Vista. Both of these have ONE ethernet port. (Oh, and I got the cable of course).

Now, how exactly can I put pictures and music on my Xbawks (yes it has the hard drive)?

Mind you I dont have that bogus, over complicated, PITA known as XBOX LIVE, for a number of reasons: Not availible in my area, can't afford it, and I don't have a credit card. Anywho, please explain in great detail how I can do that. Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. P.S. Can I get any of the new Halo 3 maps without "XBOX LIVE Market place"?

Wtf?

Anyway, you can't copy pictures directly to the hard drive, but you can copy music, but only by means of a CD. If you set up a media connection on your console via an Ethernet cable and an appropriate program (Windows Media Player 11, TVersity, etc.), you can stream videos, music, and pictures to your console. I'm guessing you have a router, no? If so, to set up a media connection, you'll first need to hook up your Xbox 360 to the router with the Ethernet cable, and your PC to your router as well with another router. If you don't have a router (though I'm sure you do) I believe you can still connect to your PC by inserting both ends of a single Ethernet port to your Xbox and PC. For more info, Google "Xbox 360 media sharing how to" or something similar. As for the Halo 3 maps, the only way to get them is through the Marketplace, and you can't "not have the Marketplace", every that has an XBL account has access to it. You can, however, have limited access to it, if you don't have a purchased subscription to Xbox Live (which is the case for you).

I've done the CD thing, but it only goes so far. Plus, now I'm out of blank CD's. I don't have a router, I have a small DSL modem. So I'll have to get all the pictures and music I want, and save them on my PC first, because it's only got one ethernet port, which is used for the internet. Then I just unhook the internet ethernet cord and hook the PC and Xbawks up, and "stream" the data, right? See what pisses me off is that for Halo 2, they put the extra maps on a disk you could buy at the store. No XBOX LIVE required. Why can't they do the same for the Halo 3 maps?

Wait, why can't you download the maps? You don't have to have a paid subscription to download maps, you just need internet. You only need a subscription to play online.Englando_IV

If thats true, I still won't be able too. I only have one ehternet port on this PC, and the internet cord is plugged into it. Unless I can some how save the Legendary Map pack or the free Heroic Map pack in a file first, then "stream" it to the Box.
