I guess everyone just meet in the chat and we'll get our game on! I guess if the numbers are too odd we can just all play a few games then switch rooms around for a little while so everyone gets to play with everyone.. not as a tourny though, just for fun

if you can get online why can't you get on xbox live.............
just cause you can get on the internet doesnt mean you can get on live
you have to connect an ethernet cord to the modem or buy a wireless connector..
im on the other side of our apartment from the modem...i was going to just use the ethernet cord i used at my house, but then i realized it was underground..as in underneath the house...it wouldve worked too cause its like super long...but idk how to get it out of the wall and from under the house..
thats pretty obvious, or maybe thats just me..just cause you can get on the internet, doesnt mean you can connect to live just because of that...
i wish it was that simple tho like, the 360 had a built in internet connector thing...and you would just hit connect on it and itd find the internet..but sadly its not..

they arent built into a wall, but they are in a corner...
and i cant move the modem, because i dont the the other cords plugged into it would reach my room, idk...
filter? whats the filter?
and the cord i use to plug my comp into the modem ( i think it goes to the modem? never really followed it..will edit in a min w/ if it goes to it) is stapled into the wall/floor...so that prolly wouldnt work..i dont think...
whatever, im just going to have at&t come do it...their like...pros at stuff like this...or i hope they are lol..

Do you have a modem or a router? How many things can you plug into it at once? If it's more than one, it's a router. Anyway, AT&T can't make your ethernet cord longer... and it seems to me like that's all you need... a longer cat 5 cable... you can get a 50 foot one at walmart for less than $30...
cat 5? what?
your right, they cant make it longer, mainly cause i dont have one (i have a phone jack cord, but it isnt the blue ethernet one)
oh and its a router, it has like 5 things plugged in right now i beleive..
it has the possiblity to hold 8 phone jack cords...im pretty sure thats what powers our internet..
WAIT A SECOND!
i just checked something, and i think i found our actual router :o
its like, 7 or 8 feet from my room..
i thought it was on the other side of the place, like...20 feet away from my room...
so the cord i need just has to be about..idk....15-20 feet...like 7-10 from my room to the router, and the other 5-8 to get it to my room door...hmmmm
theres a walmart (i beleive) and publix nearby :0 the walmart might have what im lookin for (just not 50ft lol)
