Updating the Xbox Dashboard
Before you can sign up for the Xbox Live service and begin playing games online, the
Xbox Dashboard must be updated. To update the Xbox Dashboard:
1. Insert an Xbox Live Starter Kit disc or game disc into the disc tray. Check the
game packaging to see if the game supports Xbox Live play.
2. From within the game, select the option for Xbox Live .
The Xbox console will attempt to automatically congure itself to use your broad-
band connection when you select Xbox Live from the game.
Conguring Xbox Network Settings
(if necessary)
If the Xbox console cannot connect automatically, you may need to use Network
Setup in the Xbox Dashboard to congure some network settings.
Many ISPs require specic settings before allowing access to the Internet. These
settings may include a host name, MAC address, or an ISP user name and password
(for PPPoE authentication). If you are unsure about whether you need this informa-
tion, check with your broadband service provider.
For more detailed information on conguring network settings in the Xbox Dash-
board, and other support issues, please see www.xbox.com/live.
Xbox Live Sign Up
Note You will not be able to establish an account until the Xbox Dashboard has
been updated to include Xbox Live information (see Updating the Xbox Dashboard
on page 6).
Signing Up for an New Account
Important! You will need a subscription code to activate your Xbox Live account.
If you didn’t receive a subscription code online, you will nd it on the inside of the
Xbox Live Starter Kit disc sleeve.
To create your account, select the option for Xbox Live from the Xbox Dashboard.
Follow the instructions on screen, and enter your subscription code when prompted.
