How to set up Xbox Live

Finally got my interwebz working and thanks to this guide I am now an Xbox Live.

On another guide, it suggested that you add ZA to the end of your nic. Unfortunately, mine my nic is 15 characters so I wasn't able to add the ZA in.
 
I like the idea of the -ZA thing. Easier to find locals online. But then again xbox-360.co.za can help out there as well. After visiting that forum for long enough you get to know all the locals....

Yeah, exactly. Not really the sort of people I want to play games with online, for the most part. ;P
 
Thanks for the info man helped my boss today to set up his live since he could not get it to work.

But now he is having the problem with xboxlive is unavailable while he is trying to set up live. Any help on that matter from the xbox guys plz.

What is the exact error and code.
 
Before we tried today he tried setting it up on his own so he might have changes a lot of stuff. I don't know since I don't own a console and not sure where to help.
No error code just a message with.

"Xbox Live is Unavailable" Then the message close.

Was it correctly configured to use the available internet connection? Because it doesn't look like it.

We did run the test to see if he could connect to live in that network test.
I let him change the Ip Address to static.

Could it be he already set up live and now trying to set up live right that there is a conflict?

Edit:
He did not set up the pc yet for live or maybe that was for the media centre,(don't think that matters just mentioning it)
 
No offense but its hard to trouble shoot a issues when we have nothing to go by. I have help a fair share of people getting online over the phone and e-mail. You need to take pictures write every step down and post it here upto the point were you hit the wall then we can help properly.
 
Okay got one thing sorted out he had to create a gametag on the pc go figure!

ROFL he used a .co.za email account and not a .com one.

All sorted tnx all.

I used the new MWEB uncapped account, the 1 with the static IP's. Didn't have to do any port forwarding to get it to work. Just had to set the NAT to open. It was on Moderate by default.
 
I think the real problem here is that you're trying to set up an Xbox (hint: Xbox) LIVE account on a PC (hint: not an Xbox).

Unless you mean a Games For Windows LIVE account?
