Playing XBOX online without Live
Is it possible to play XBOX online with subscribing to xbox live. My friend's friend says that he plays HALO 2 online and he does not have Live so he does not have to pay the subscription fee.
I was wondering what this was about and what you need to do it?

xboxconnect I think is what people use. It simulates a LAN connection through the internet so you can play multiplayer games without being on Live. I haven't used it though (I paid for live, it's only $50/year...) so I can't say much about how it works.
I'm sure others can.

It allows you trick your Xbox into thinking it's connecting to other Xboxs for lan play.

Haven't done it since Live was released, but I played Halo and Tony Hawk online through Gamespy Arcade or All Seeing Eye I think. Xbox Connect must be the new hipster way to do it.

What kind of setup do you need.
My friend was saying that I might be able to plug the ethernet cable from my xbox to my high speed modem where the ethernet cable from my pc is going in. I think with this setup however, I won't be able to have my Internet connected to my pc at the same time?
