ph34r.gif Yes it will work but you will have to open up some ports on the router... ph34r.gif

Xbox Live uses port 88 UDP protocol, port 3074 UDP/TCP Protocol

This is straight from M$ website

Your router's built-in firewall is blocking the ports required for Xbox Live.

A firewall is a security system that acts as a protective boundary between a network and the outside world by blocking network traffic on certain ports.

Connect your Xbox console directly to your modem (bypassing the router) and test to see if the problem is resolved.

If you are able to connect to the network when bypassing your router, you may need to configure your router to allow network communication on the specific ports required for Xbox Live. For Xbox Live to work correctly, the following ports need to be open:

• UDP 88
• UDP 3074
• TCP 3074

Here is the website for further connection assistance

                                    my friend just got one and he said that you dont need to open any ports
