Hey guys. I have a Dell XPS 410 and just recently purchased an Xbox 360. I was curious if there was a way to connect the Xbox to my computer. Any detailed instructions I can get will help, I suck at connecting things

any advice on how to hook it up for Live will help me too. Thanks alot.

I think he means how can he share media between the two...

Simply connect your 360 and notebook to the same switch/router (lan) and d/l the media center update from MS so your laptop will recognize the console. Unless you're running MS Media Center 2k5 in which case it'll recognize your system anyway. If you're using a wireless connection don't forget to setup your connection both on the laptop and the console. Need to make sure you have all the encryption settings correct. When the laptop finds the console (after you've applied the update from MS), you'll have the option of setting up a media share. From there it's just a matter of following the step-by-step instructions!

As far as connecting to LIVE...pretty much the same thing with regard to the wireless option. Wired connection demands even less know-how. Let me know if you have specific questions and I (as well as others I'm sure) will help were I can.
