I actually ran the ethernet cable that came with my 360 from my modem downstairs to my 360 upstairs through a heat vent tube. (the cable is like 20 feet long) You can also get a logitech network extender that wirelessly connects you modem and your 360 for like $30 or the 360 wifi adapter for $100. Once I had mine hooked up, I went to walmart and bought a $40 dollar xbox live year subscription card, and just typed in the code. Also you will need to have a valid hotmail or MSN email address, I just made one really quickly. After that, you should be up and running.

If you buy the subscription card, just put in the code. No you don't get a bill. You can buy it online with a credit card if you want. You can buy microsoft points with a credit card online or you can buy a subscription card for that too. That is how you buy video games from Xbox Live Arcade, you can buy all kinds of other stuff online like TV shows and pay per view movies in high def

Yes you can. It just  depends on how many ethernet ports are on you modem. My modem has 5 ports on it so I can have 5 360 plugged into it and running online at the same time. It is pretty cool.

I don't know much about modems. But I would check the firewall settings. If that doesn't help call your company that your internet is through. That's about all I know about it.

All you need is a 360, and high speed connection. I advise when you get your 360, it should come with an one month free trial of XBox Live (gold) once you sign up for the free silver version. Do that, get your free month and then get it after wards (either credit card / Time Card). No installment, its already on the 360.
