Can I use my Xbox with my computer?

No, the Xbox console is a dedicated video game console. Its sole purpose is
to provide you with the best video game experience available on the market
while connected to your television. You can also use Xbox as a DVD home
theater system if you purchase the DVD Playback Kit.

What do I need to play multiplayer games?

All you need to start playing games with multiple players are extra
controllers and a game designed for multiplayer use. The game will appear
via a split screen on one television.

If you have extra Xbox systems and televisions, you may network them
together using Xbox System Link Cables, and play certain games that support
this feature. Maximum number of simultaneous players is built into the game.
As an example, HALO will support 4 Xbox systems and 4 players per Xbox, for
a total of 16 players.

lol, you couldn't make this stuff up (to borrow Chris's saying). You would
think Microsoft would know this and advertise the XBox Live thingy on their
website XBox homepage.

Easiest way to use your XBOX online, is the way I am doing it.

I Have a PC with a USB ADSL modem, and what I bought was a Network Crad, and
a CROSSOVER Cable.
You plug your crossover cable into the network card on your computer, then
plug the other end of the crossover cable into your xbox. Finaly you turn on
connection sharing in your computer, and BINGO you're online with your xbox.

Try xboxconnect for free xbox online gaming :)

Have fun :)
