I am thinking of getting xbox live. Its only �34 for year. It might be a silly question, but can i still use my laptop whilst playing on that xbox live? I am on virgin cable and have no wireless stuff. My laptop is connected to a box(modem?) via a usb port. cheers...
Yes you can,we have two PC's and an XBOX 360 all on the internet at the same time in our house,in fact my fiance and I both play Final Fantasy XI Online at the same time,him on the 360 and me on one PC whilst our son is on the other PC.
same here, i am often on line when two other pc's are surfing the interweb. I have a virgin cable connection at 2Mb and it only every causes me a problem if one of the kids is using msmessanger or streaming video.
Most virgin modems I've see are ethernet not USB...
As ,long as it is ethernet then you can use your computer and xbox at the same time but you will have to get your self a router to enable more than one device to use the internet at the same time.
yeah, it comes through a eternet cable (i think) then it converts to a usb port for my laptop.
On the back of my xbox, it looks like its an ethernet cable though.
So if i didnt have a router, i can only use one thing at a time then?
